“…The value of the law contained in the local wisdom usually more feared by locals because it affects directly and could even be hereditary, in addition to strong influence of customary law thus more respected by the community rather than Indigo-the value of positive law. Legal values in Sasi are so firm and binding is also delivered by (Boli et al 2014). In the study mentioned that the breach of Sasi has a terrible impact for perpetrators of supernatural sanctions in the form of illness or death, apart from other penalties for offenders such as reprimand, fines, confiscation of money capture tool and boats, and exile from the village.…”

Public policy public comes from the existing problems in the community, so that policy objectives realized. Value systems as part of people's lives need to get places in the policy process, among others related to environmental management policies. As long as it is not metal minerals mining and rock in Merauke District, Papua Province, the mining generally leads to environmental damage, necessitating noteworthy local wisdom values as a value system in order to prevent damage to a sustainable environment. This research aims to analyze the value system of the local communities of Marind area can be internalised into the policy management of mineral ingredients instead of metal and rocks in Merauke District. Research methods are using qualitative approach. Data collected through interviews, documentation and further analyzed using observation and data analysis components from Milles, Huberman and Saldaña. The results showed that one of the value systems in society of Marind area such as Sasi i.e. Prohibition of entering a closed area in the customs, have sanctions for those who break them decisively, so internalization of Sasi as a value system culture in environmental protection needs implemented. It is particularly in the order of mineral material management policies instead of metal and rocks in Merauke District. Key words: Value System, Sasi, Environment Condition, Policy, Mining Activity.

The Status of Seagrass Health: Supporting Sustainable Small-Scale Fisheries in Misool Marine Protected Area, Raja Ampat, Indonesia

Seagrass plays an important role in aquatic resources, such as to support the sustainable management of small-scale fisheries, ensuring the availability of seagrass stocks for generations of local communities to cultivate in a sustainable manner. The purpose of this study is to provide information on the seagrass health status to support sustainable small-scale fisheries in the South Misool Regional Waters Conservation Areas which is located within the Raja Ampat Marine Protected Area of West Papua. The research was conducted in January 2019 in the Yefgag, Yellu and Harapan Jaya island. A total of ten quadratic transects measuring 1x1 m were laid perpendicularly to the coastline adapted from the seagrass watch method to collect the seagrass data, i.e. the species and the frequency of seagrass found, the dominance and the percentage of seagrass cover. Additional data on fish species were collected by interviewing the local fishermen directly. The relationship between seagrass cover and the number of fish species was analyzed. Th results showed that there were eight species of seagrass found in three observation stations, i.e. Halophila ovalis, Halodule uninervis, Halodule pinifolia, Halophila minor, Syringodium isoetifolium, Cymodocea serrulata, Cymodocea rotundata and Enhalus acoroides. According to the standard criteria for the health status of seagrass beds, the three locations are classified as less rich/less healthy. It because the seagrass coverage was in the range of 30-59%. The relationship between the percentage of seagrass cover and the number of fish species resulted equation of Y = 15,923x + 0,3174 with R2 = 0,763. It means that the percentage of seagrass cover affects the abundance of fish species by 76,3% with the remaining being influenced by other variables, such as water quality.

“…In addition to its effectiveness in preventing destructive fishing practice and overfishing, sasi has successfully increased the number of sea cucumber, trochus, and lobster stocks in the sea (Boli, Yulianda, Damar, Soedharma, & Kinseng, 2014). Therefore, the sasi has created access for the small-scale fisher-people to the improved natural capital.…”

In a rural area, environmental degradation and poverty nexus focuses on the high-dependency of poor people to natural resources-based livelihood. Arguably, limited assets of poor people cause them to be unable to cope with natural resources degradation and to undertake sustainable practice in their livelihood activities. This study attempts to find the nexus between environmental degradation and poverty in the case of coral reef destruction in Indonesia by applying secondary research as a methodology. A sustainable livelihood framework is applied to analyze small-scale fisher people's vulnerability and capacity to destruct. This study finds that small-scale fisher-people have limited assets to cope with coral reef destruction; however, the same condition leads them to destruct coral reef by doing the destructive fishing practice. This condition causes them to be trapped in the downward spiral of environmental degradation and poverty. Moreover, small-scale fisher-people can overcome this problem by developing self-governance common pool resources to conserve coral reef and increase their livelihood sustainability.
