Community Empowerment in Strengthening Coastal Ecosystems Based on Ocean Guardian Village in Realizing an Eco-Friendly Village in Paluh Manan Village
Abstract
The serious challenges faced by coastal areas are coastal ecosystem degradation due to exploitation of marine resources, abrasion and lack of public awareness of coastal area conservation. This study aims to analyze community empowerment strategies in strengthening coastal ecosystem resilience through Ocean Guardian Village, a community-based development model that emphasizes collaboration between local knowledge, community participation and the principles of sustainable marine ecology. The method used in this study is a qualitative approach with thematic analysis. The results of the study indicate that community empowerment through ecoliteracy training, strengthening local institutions, and integration of village programs with multi-stakeholder support is able to increase the role of residents in protecting mangrove areas, managing coastal waste and utilizing marine resources sustainably. The Ocean Guardian Village concept has proven to be relevant as an adaptive action framework in responding to climate change and environmental crises in coastal areas including in Paluh Manan Village in realizing an environmentally friendly village.
