Charting Peaceful Seas: The Admiralty's Approach to Fisherfolk Conflict Resolution in Laot Aceh
Main Article Content
Abstract
This study explores the pivotal role of Panglima Laot in maritime security and managing marine resources in Aceh, Indonesia. Using a qualitative approach and case study methodology, the research examines the intricate dynamics of Panglima Laot's involvement in coastal and maritime governance. Data were collected through a comprehensive review of existing literature, including scholarly works, governmental reports, and indigenous sources, to understand the historical, cultural, and legal contexts shaping Panglima Laot's functions and authority. The findings reveal that Panglima Laot plays a critical role in regulating maritime affairs, enforcing customary laws, and providing vital information to law enforcement agencies. This collaboration enhances patrolling capabilities and addresses issues such as illegal fishing and human trafficking. The study demonstrates the effectiveness of joint efforts between Panglima Laot and governmental bodies in promoting maritime security and environmental sustainability. Furthermore, Panglima Laot's involvement in social resilience initiatives highlights their capacity to foster community participation, maintain positive relationships, and manage life stresses collaboratively. This research introduces novel insights by integrating cultural practices and local wisdom into maritime security and conflict management. It emphasizes the strategic importance of Panglima Laot as a partner in achieving sustainable maritime practices and strengthening community resilience. The study offers practical implications for policymakers and community leaders in similar coastal regions, providing a unique perspective on the role of local wisdom in managing socio-environmental challenges.
