Raja Ampat Not Just Got Diving


Island Raja Ampat, the world knows its beauty, but not everyone knows how to keep the charm of the local community. Not with modern equipment, but the tradition.

For the Raja Ampat Islands, West Papua, the sea is at the heart of life though some have gardening and hunting. From generation to generation, marine life and forests inherited. The sea and the forest is the back of all life. Awareness of the importance of water and land that is creating a system that encourages people to keep and preserve the culture of the surrounding nature. Culture system was called "Sasi" and "Rajaha".

Sasi is one of the closing ceremonies for the region or village to preserve the natural ecosystem. Sasi also means ban together (collectively) of an object or area that includes the latter. So, Sasi Rajaha is a form of protection that is applied in an area of ​​sea and forest chiefs mutual agreement to protect the marine and ocean violin in a certain time in the public interest.

Application of SASI and rajaha has been done since the time of the kings before the Raja Ampat Islands. System of defense and protection of this culture which was then re-appointed by the local government to preserve and conserve nature Raja Ampat Islands is the world's most beautiful maritime travel.

Application of SASI are of two kinds, depending on circumstances, timing, and kebutuha. There is "a deliberate SASI" and "sasi no deliberate". "Sasi the deliberate" is sasi imposed after seeing the sea that arise increasingly reduced and new sources of revenue to meet the cost of family life even more difficult. Therefore, this type sasi held to allow marine life to regenerate so the results increases.

Meanwhile, "SASI is not deliberate" is sasi that exists by itself as a natural phenomenon that is not allowed to attempt the sea, as the season winds prolonged (3-6 months), so it can be declared a village headman by SASI. Sasi recently opened after the wind passes.

Meanwhile, sasi the sea area is divided into two kinds, namely "sasi conditional" and "unconditional sasi". "Sasi conditional" SASI is imposed on one of the marine life in a particular sea area. However, if people want to carry out the event an important event, such as religious ceremonies, marriage ceremony, the public is allowed take disasi marine life.

Temporary, "sasi unconditional" is a prohibition for SASI has not been revoked. In addition, there is also an ongoing sasi all time. Sasi is held on a specific area believed to be the objects of cultural heritage, such as websites or even huniah royal spirits. The area gets sasi status is not just anyone bolehmencari fish in it. Violation of the ban is usually always end up with a disaster with no known cause.

Sasi closing and opening ceremonies begin with a dipimpim chiefs. This ceremony usually lasts for 1-7 days. The ceremony was preceded submission and determination of tagging tools. Furthermore, a milestone marking tools, such as buoys, flags, and anchor paraded around with drums flute group to inform the public as well as to introduce to all the signs that will be installed in areas that will disasi (Marine Protected Areas) so that people do not violate the signs and also a sign that an area that disasi.

In this ceremony, placed a tree decorated with various carvings, pieces of cloth, woven leaves resemble marine animals, and mangrove fruits are put in place to be implemented SASI. After the ceremony, marking a milestone that has been consecrated planted in a location that will disasi. That milestone by the Raja Ampat is known as the "go samson" (a glorified timber).

Equipment other ceremonies are 7 plates of yellow rice, 7 eggs, 7 papeda seed packs (kawet), tobacco rolled with nipa leaves, areca siri, and lime 7th place respectively. All equipment was partially floated out to sea and partly on the beach as an offering to the spirits guard the sea.

Meanwhile, at the "rajaha" also performed the ceremony by cutting a white cock and then tied to a location disasi. To prevent theft or hobatan the liquid leaves a small bottle filled and hung on wooden poles in a disasi. Hobatan is always accompanied by the reading of the spell. Installation rajaha lasted for SASI runs.

If sasi ends, then rajaha also revoked. Revocation rajaha usually not accompanied by ceremonies, only the notice of traditional governance to the people that rajaha been revoked. Notice of closure and opening of the SASI is very important because it is a violation of SASI can result lifelong disability or someone will die, as quoted from the book Treasure Raja Ampat; History and Culture Ayu Arman's work.

Besides sasi, the Raja Ampat have traditional performances for their conservation, the fishing technique molo, bacigi, and dance bintaki. Molo is a traditional way of fishing with wooden rifles. Fishermen must dive first and then use the rifle to shoot the fish. This rifle uses wire as bullets. Fishermen who use this method are called artisan fishing molo molo Kareng they use glass or glass submarine to protect the eyes.

Meanwhile, bacigi is deep sea fishing techniques without the use of bait on the Mariadei. They fished together young people, children, elders, and use the hook without the bait. Bacigi done to catch the fish that lives in groups and swim near the ocean surface.

And, this time almost the whole area of ​​Raja Ampat have been enacted SASI. At least, there are 16 points in the current term is the Regional Marine Conservation Area (KKLD). To-16 point is forbidden for people to conduct fishing activities or other seafood harvesting, such as trochus, sea cucumbers, and reef fish. In this area, the marine life is left to settle and grow as they please without being bothered by human activities.
