Through maritime outreach and education, it is hoped that the community will understand the importance of marine resource sustainability. This activity not only provides information about protected species but also encourages the community to protect and monitor marine life and teaches environmentally friendly fishing techniques. This outreach and education program is scheduled to take place from November 13 to 16, 2025, at various locations, including elementary schools, Islamic junior high schools, village halls, and frequently visited coastal areas. This activity will involve 35 students from elementary schools and Islamic junior high schools, as well as 40 community members from the village. The implementation stages include surveys, observations, preparation, implementation, and closing. This activity is expected to provide students with a better understanding of protected animals and strengthen maritime education materials. With a comprehensive introduction to ecosystems, marine resources, coastal management, and maritime culture, students are expected to be more aware of the importance of sustainability. Community outreach also yielded positive results, with interactive dialogues increasing participation and awareness of marine biota protection issues.ABSTRAKPeningkatan kesadaran masyarakat tentang ancaman terhadap biota laut yang dilindungi di Desa Galo-Galo menjadi sangat penting, mengingat populasi spesies tersebut terus menurun.
