ABSTRACT
The marine environment is facing numerous challenges that threaten the sustainability of marine resources. These challenges include overexploitation, irresponsible exploitation, and ineffective governance under national laws. In response, various approaches have been taken to attempt to protect the marine environment, including traditional methods. One local tradition that is recognized as effective in managing the environment and coastal resources is the Panglima Laot institution in Aceh. The continued existence of the Panglima Laot plays a role in regulating all matters relating to coastal and marine areas through Adat (customary) Laot Law, which remains in effect to this day. Therefore, the objective of this research is to explore the relevance of the Panglima Laot to the values of Pancasila. This research was conducted using a normative-juridical method, employing descriptive analysis. This research concludes that in the understanding and implementation of local wisdom, the presence of Panglima Laot is intimately connected to the values of Pancasila, especially the fourth principle. In the contemporary era, the role of the Panglima Laot is becoming increasingly essential to the advancement of ocean governance at both the national and global levels.
Keywords: Panglima Laot, Pancasila, ocean governance, Adat, marine environment, sustainability, marine resources, coastal and marine areas, Indonesia.
