This study was conducted in Padelegan Village, Pademawu Sub-district, Pamekasan Regency, East Java. The main objectives are to identify the potential forms of local wisdom in Padelegan Village, to explain how they are practiced by the community, and to formulate a community-based management model rooted in local wisdom. Local wisdom represents a system of life values passed down from generation to generation through religion, culture, and customs. Among several cultural traditions in Padelegan, this study focuses primarily on the rokat tase or Petik Laut (sea offering) ceremony. This tradition symbolizes the community’s gratitude to God and functions as a medium for social cohesion and environmental awareness. The research employs a qualitative descriptive design with an ethnographic approach using observation and interviews as data collection techniques. The findings indicate that Petik Laut serves as a form of local wisdom that strengthens community solidarity, preserves marine ecology, and holds potential as a basis for sustainable coastal resource management.
