Palilibu is the custom of fishing using a rowing soppe boat. Going to sea in
just one or two days and returning to the settlement sells the catch and some is
enjoyed with the family. Bapongka (babangi) is the activity of fishing for several
weeks and even monthly using a large boat measuring approximately 4 × 2 m
called leppa or sopek. This activity often includes families, such as wives and
children, and some even give birth on a boat. Then, sasakai, which is the habit of
fishing using several boats for several months with a range between islands. As
long as the group is undergoing mamia kadialo (fishing), there are restrictions
for families left behind and those who go to sea.
The prohibition includes throwing into seawaters such as sea cucumber washing
water, wood charcoal or kitchen ash, cigarette butts and ash, chili water, ginger
and orange juice, and washing of cooking utensils in seawaters. Both washing
water and materials should be collected and disposed of on land. Another obstacle
that turns out to also have the value of environmental sustainability is taboo
eating turtle meat. Sea turtles are believed to help many people who experience
calamities, therefore these animals should not be killed. Another norm that applies
is respect for the sea. The Bajo people really respect the sea because it is the source
of their livelihood. Bajo people will not say inappropriate words or swear at the
sea. This shows how the Bajo people really value the sea. The Bajo are very
afraid of breaking the pamali. They think it will bring havoc and calamity if they
break the pamali. Such calamities can come in various forms such as not getting
fish, storms, big waves, disturbances of evil spirits and not even getting results
at sea.
2. Local Wisdom Which Serves for Conservation and Conservation Of Natural
Resources;
Bajo people, especially the older generation, still believe in certain coral groups
as a place to inhabit the spirits of their ancestors. Parents forbid family members
from catching fish and other biota around coral clusters, unless first performing
certain rituals by preparing offerings for ancestors. Various restrictions contain
the value of preserving marine and coastal aquatic ecosystems.
The public’s knowledge of natural phenomena, he said, has ecological value.
Coral reefs, among others, as a barrier to currents and waves, and around the
coastal area also provide a calm. When the night comes, there will be a sparkle
of moonlight due to the calm reflection of the water surface. The eagles approach
the surface of the sea because, when the tide is low, more marine biota appears
to fall prey to eagles.
3. Local Wisdom Which Works for Human Resource Development (SDM);
Seeing the local wisdom of the Bajo people is not just a reference for someone’s
behavior, but further, namely being able to realize a life full of civilization. Local
wisdom that has occurred has brought changes to always be lived, practiced,
taught, and passed down from one generation to another which at the same time
form patterns of empowerment of the Bajo people themselves, in terms of knowledge and customs about humans, nature, and how the relationship between all
residents of ecological community empower communities who are consciously
not in management and sustainable development.
