Community Service is a form of student dedication to the community aimed at assisting society in analyzing problems and their solutions. In this context, students are faced with real conditions in the community, requiring a high level of professionalism to continuously coexist and live alongside the community. In relation to this, community service was carried out in Ciliang Village, Parigi District, Pangandaran Regency, West Java, from January 5, 2024, to February 6, 2024, with the main theme “Sea Turtle Conservation in the Coastal Area of Batu Hiu Beach, Ciliang Village, Pangandaran Regency.” Besides this main theme, community service activities were also conducted based on individual titles chosen according to each student’s field of study. In this case, the author’s individual title was “Analysis of Environmental Criminal Law Related to Water Pollution Caused by Lagoon Shrimp Aquaculture Waste Affecting Sea Turtle Cultivation in the Coastal Area.” Observations and interviews related to this analysis topic were conducted directly with the community of Ciliang Village, Parigi District, Pangandaran Regency.
