Revitalization of Maritime Culture as a Pillar of National Resilience in Indonesian Coastal Fisherman Communities

Indonesia as an archipelagic country has a rich maritime culture and plays an important role in national resilience, both from economic, social, cultural, and environmental aspects. Maritime culture includes the values, knowledge, skills, and practices passed down from generation to generation in coastal communities. This research uses a qualitative descriptive research method. This method focuses on explaining data descriptively and describing events or data with qualitative explanatory sentences. Based on the findings that modernization, exploitation of marine resources, and climate change are the main challenges that threaten the sustainability of maritime culture. To revitalize maritime culture, various strategies can be implemented, such as maritime-based education, preserving traditions, developing a sea-based economy, utilizing technology, and increasing public awareness. Several foreign countries, such as Japan, Norway, New Zealand, Australia, and the Netherlands have implemented various strategies for revitalizing maritime culture which can be a reference for Indonesia. Through a holistic approach and collaboration between government, local communities, and the private sector, maritime culture can be maintained and developed as strategic capital for sustainable development
