fisherman”). The aim of the study is to find out the role of Urang Tuo Pasia in
the problems of the integration among the fishermen and the conservation of the
sea natural resources. This reveals as an important thing since from the

had outstanding role in solving the problems encountered by the local
fishermen. The method used in this research is qualitative one. It is supported

field of anthropology, sociology, economics, and politics. From the various
data found and analyzed, this research concludes hat theroleof Urang Tuo Pasia
