Abstract

Erosion and the destruction of mangrove forests constitute an environmental crisis that currently poses a major challenge to the coastal region of Banyuwangi. The increasingly complex reality of the environmental crisis in this coastal area requires a response from various approaches, particularly an Islamic approach as a comprehensive solution to environmental problems. The Islamic approach through santri education offers a strategic opportunity to foster ecological awareness and strengthen environmental conservation efforts in the coastal region of Banyuwangi. Pesantren Al-Anwari is one of the Islamic boarding schools in Banyuwangi that plays a role in supporting coastal environmental conservation. This study aims to analyse the transformation of the santri movement and the innovations of Pesantren Al-Anwari in responding to the environmental crisis in the coastal areas of Banyuwangi. This study employs a qualitative method with field research comprising participatory observation, in-depth interviews and documentation. The findings conclude that Al-Anwari Islamic Boarding School has successfully integrated religious values and awareness whilst simultaneously offering a new model of sustainable education rooted in the coastal community. Through the innovative establishment of the Santri Maritim school, the Al-Anwari Islamic boarding school has transformed itself into a centre for education focused on coastal ecosystem conservation. This innovation has successfully driven a -social transformation that synergises the community’s social norms, values, patterns and structures. The transformation of the students is manifested through a shift from a theological movement towards a socio-humanist movement.
