| Abstract | ||
| The objective of the study was to develop a Waqf model based on conservation of coastal and marine resources that can bring sustainable benefits to human well-being. The study was carried out using a normative approach. Data and information were obtained through literature review on Waqf and conservation of coastal and marine resources. The obtained data and information were processed qualitatively and quantitatively and transformed into a Waqf model based on conservation of coastal and marine resources for the benefit of people. The results of the study indicate that Waqf based on coastal and marine resources can be developed into a viable model for implementing sustainable development and promoting the restoration and conservation of coastal and marine ecosystems. For effective management, Waqf resources should be properly administered to ensure they grow into healthy and productive ecosystems. These ecosystems can provide various regulatory functions, provisioning/production functions, supporting/habitat functions, and cultural/informational functions, contributing to the provision of ecological, social, and economic services for the benefit of society. This Waqf model is expected to serve as a long-term environmental financing solution, supporting the optimal and sustainable management of coastal and marine areas, making them more productive and beneficial to communities. This waqf model will be supported by a combination of granting management rights to waqf institutions and communities, allowing areas or lands to be designated as coastal and marine resource conservation zones to be used as growth mediums for coastal and marine ecosystems. | ||
