Abstract

Sasi represents a form of local wisdom among the people of Raja Ampat for regulating the use of marine resources by managing access to benefits within specific areas or timeframes. However, ensuring the sustainability of its implementation requires overcoming various challenges, thus requiring an approach that supports both conservation and the community’s utilization of natural resources. This study aims to analyze the implementation of the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) program by PT Pertamina Patra Niaga Refinery Unit (RU) Kasim through the development of sea cucumber aquaculture cages in Waifoi Village, Raja Ampat, and its contribution to the sustainability of community-based natural resource management. The study employed a case study design, with data collected through participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and focus group discussions (FGD). Informants were selected through purposive sampling, taking into account the knowledge and involvement of KTH Waifoi members in the program’s implementation. Data were analyzed descriptively to determine the program’s relevance to the sasi tradition. The results indicate that the sea cucumber aquaculture CSR program aligns with the values of the sasi tradition and supports natural resource management and conservation efforts, particularly regarding sea cucumbers in Waifoi Village
