Indonesia is an archipelagic country, and Indonesia is also called a maritime axis. Aceh is located In the westernmost part of the country of Indonesia, part of the boundary of its territory is the ocean.
Therefore many acehness work as a farming but in the other side also many of acehness work as a fisherman
In this post I will discuss about customary sea "adat meulaot" for aceh people. In Aceh there is an institution that has the authority to organize fishing activities for fishermen, its name is customary institution of laot "Lembaga Adat Laot" led by a "Panglima Laot". There are various rules set by this institution, one of which is about a day that is forbidden to go to sea. In Aceh there are several days that prohibit fisherman from catching fish,
these days are:
➡Friday ➡Indonesian Independence Day (August 17th) ➡Aceh Tsunami Memorial Day (26 December) ➡Two days on Eid al-Fitri ➡Four days on Eid al-Adha ➡Three days at the time of *khanduri laot*
If any of the fishermen violate the regulation, the customary institution will take the fisherman's catch, and the fisherman will be given sanctions forbidden to go to sea for a minimum of three days and maximum of seven days.
Thank you for reading about the tradition of sailing in Aceh, hopefully you all like the story about aceh culture that I share on my blog.
