Abstract
The sea is the primary resource that needs to be maintained by all people based on its benefits. However, marine conservation efforts are only carried out by individuals related to them, especially local coastal communities. This condition implies that conservation efforts are never carried out optimally due to a lack of consciousness. This research aims to utilize the structure of epistemic consciousness as a means to convey social responsibility for protecting the marine environment. This research will employ a philosophical hermeneutics approach involving epistemology, ethics, human philosophy, and psychotherapy. The results of this research demonstrate that epistemic consciousness in an individual can enhance their abilities and understanding in adapting their knowledge framework to environmental conservation efforts. This consciousness is also capable of guiding an individual's responsibility in processing information and making decisions in specific contexts, especially in the local sense. Instilling a sense of responsibility can be achieved through the use of taglines and the symbolization of religious beliefs and traditional customs.
