The phenomena of the Orang Bajo was awareness to understand ecosystem sustainability as a manifestation of the reason that values were passed down through old generations, and should not be lost from the lives of his grand children. Although basically the culture of their parents did not conflict and coherently with the reality of the teachings they believed in. Intend to reconstruct the concept of fishing with the Paserong system which had a good impact on the development of environmental awareness behavior of a society, so as not to give birth to ecosystem damage without reducing the value of the economic welfare of the community.

The Paserong system was a location prepared by Bajo fishermen made of wide nets such as cages or garden fences made of nets tied to bamboo stakes on the sea floor. Usually the Paserong system was carried out by one group consisting of several people in making, installing, and distributing results.

Extending Urban Development on Water: Jakarta Case Study

Modern land reclamation practice also brought similar environmental issues.…”
