(a) Bajo tribe in Bone Bay: there are still many examples of traditional Bajo tribe
fishermen groups in Bone Bay who depend on fishing activities, namely fishing.
The entire area of Bajo village covers an area of 5.58 km
2 . The livelihood of most
residents is as fishermen. As fishermen, they recognize three fishing locations,
namely in deep waters, in coral clusters, and on the coast. They use a variety
of traditional equipment made according to the location of the arrest. For deep
water fishermen, the equipment used to catch fish is in the form of arrows, spears,
and fishing rods. For fishermen who are looking for fish in coral clusters, other
than using arrows and spears, they also use a tool called a bunre.
(b) The pattern of settling settlements: the general phenomenon of the Bajo community in South Sulawesi. Based on the results of research revealed by Munsi
Lampe that in South Sulawesi, Bajoe Bone Village, Sembilan Sinjai Island,
and several places in Selayar (Appa Tana, Jampea, Kayuadi, Bonerate, Taka
Bonerate Area, etc.), Bajo communities generally have villages or villages
permanent master. Nevertheless, there are still a number of Bajo Villages that
make seasonal migrations and live a few months in the East season on several
coral islands such as Small Tarupa Island, Tinabo Bungin Belle Island, and West
Pasitallu to approach fishing grounds.
(c) Marine cultivation in Batanglampe, Pulau Sembilan: some Bajo fishermen
family groups are now not only extracting or catching fish, Bajo fishermen
on Pulau Sembilan (Sinjai) have also tried seaweed cultivation, enlargement of
lobster and shellfish seeds (japing, pearls) in cages for several years since 1995.
The cultivation business on Pulau Sembilan is actually sought as an alternative
fisherman business from the main activity of catching fish, which results from
day-to-day decline due to overfishing and damage to coral reef habitat. Although
it was recently tried by some fishing communities, marine aquaculture practices
have been shown to show signs of positive impacts both in terms of the economy
and the recovery of damage to coral reef ecosystems caused by the behavior of
fishermen using toxic explosives and anesthetics.
The social interaction of the Bajo people with the surrounding community is
very intense. The Bajo are known to adapt easily to their social environment, and
will always try to speak the local language. Therefore, the Bajo are very fluent in
Bugis, Buton, Kaledupa, and so on. In the trade network, the Bajo develop economic
relations with the people around where they live. The term Bajo is better known in the
eastern part of Indonesia, which is a social unit or community group that can be found
in the islands and seawaters of South Sulawesi (Makassar strait, Bone bay, Bajoe),
Northern Sulawesi (Kimabajo, Nain island, Torosiaje), Central and East Sulawesi
(Tomini bay, Togian and Banggai Islands), Southeast Sulawesi (such as, Lasolo,
Tinanggea, Saponda Island, Tiworo Islands (Tikep), Wakatobi (Wanci, Kaledupa,
Tomia), Pasarwajo, Mawasangka, and Kolaka, Pomala, Watubangga, Wolo, Lasusua,
Pakue) regions; East Kalimantan (around Bontang, including Sabah Timur and the
Sulu islands); East Nusa Tenggara (Alor, Kupang and Flores and surrounding areas);
West Nusa Tenggara (Bungin); and North Maluku (Bacan). In the western part of
Indonesia (such as Riau), community groups such as the Bajo are called Laut Laut,
