Fisherman Community Organizational Culture in Maintaining the Sustainability of the Bunaken Marine National Park, North Sulawesi Province

Abstract

Bunaken Marine National Park which is very beautiful for its marine life needs to be maintained and preserved. Maintaining its sustainability requires the participation of all components of the nation, including the fishing community. This research was conducted using a qualitative design to explore the organizational culture of fishing communities in preserving the Bunaken Marine National Park in North Sulawesi Province. The research finding is that the organizational culture of fishing communities is considered to be able to support the government in preserving the national park. The fishing community organizational culture is meant to be an integrated life behavior based on norms and habits in maintaining kinship, applying deliberation and consensus processes in decision making and cooperation which in its implementation reflects local wisdom.
