Abstract

This research focuses on the values of local wisdom of the coastal Malays of Indragiri Hilir Riau, in managing and utilizing marine life. The purpose of this research is to contribute to environmental conservation and management efforts based on local wisdom, so that a legal framework can be realized that is born from the legal awareness of the community. The type of research conducted is normative-empirical law 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 extinction of biodiversity and the disappearance of local wisdom values prevailing in the community.
