Sasi Lompa fish culture is a cultural tradition that the people of Maluku know well because it has values and meanings that deeply touch the people's lives. It has a positive impact on the survival of the community to defend themselves and continue their lives in situations and natural conditions that are currently loaded with various offers of new values, which can erode the mindset of its citizens so that deviant behavior appears so that it can harm the balance between humans and their natural creations. This study aims to determine the perception of the people of Negeri Haruku toward the existence of Sasi Lompa fish as a cultural tradition. The research was conducted in Negeri Haruku, Haruku Island District, Central Maluku. The study results found that the community's perception of the Sasi Lompa fish cultural tradition is that Sasi Lompa is an ancestral heritage tradition. Sasi Lompa fish is part of natural resource conservation, and Sasi Lompa is an orientation of community life guidelines. Although some people still do not appreciate this cultural tradition, the implementation of Sasi Lompa fish still takes place today. It provides great hope for creating togetherness between communities to increase the community's economy and become a tourism asset.
