Abstract

Efforts to protect the sustainability and sustainability of marine biota are not enough just to imposing criminal sanctions in prison on perpetrators who violate the rules, because the application of imprisonment as a crime prevention policy still has several weaknesses, besides that imprisonment does not contribute to efforts to repair the damage or impacts caused. One strategy that can be done in the context of protecting and saving marine biota is to collaborate with the legal rules made by the State with the rule of law that lives in the community (living law) or known as customary law. One of the areas that still maintains customary law and the values of local wisdom in managing and utilizing marine life is the Riau Coastal fishing community. The type of research conducted is normative-empirical legal research (applied law research). The results of this study conclude that, (1) the existence of habits that have become the legal culture of the community can be adopted as a source of law which is expected to support efforts to preserve marine life. (2) In an effort to develop the value of local wisdom, it is necessary to involve the community in the hope that it will have a positive impact on reducing the level of ecological damage, the loss of biodiversity and the disappearance of local wisdom values prevailing in the community.
