This study examines the Mane'e culture in the Talaud Islands Regency, North Sulawesi, as a biocentric pastoral expression rooted in maritime local wisdom. Utilizing an ethnopastoral approach and qualitative-ethnographic interpretive methods, this study systematically examines three main dimensions of Mane'e culture: (1) ritual structure and its implementation procedures; (2) the content of biocentric ecological values; and (3) the theological-pastoral dimension articulated through these communal practices. The analysis shows that Mane'e culture is not merely an economic subsistence activity, but rather a living theological text that reveals the relational cosmology of the Talaud people a cosmology that places humans, marine ecosystems, communities, and the Creator in an inseparable relationship. This culture explains the principles of biocentrism within an authentic ethno-religious framework and can be a source of contextual pastoral ecological theology for churches in the Indonesian archipelago. Four principles of biocentric pastoralism are formulated: holistic relationality, ecological communality, ecological rituality, and intergenerational wisdom. This study contributes to the increasingly urgent discourse on contextual pastoral theology and ecotheology amidst the ecological crisis of Indonesia's coastal and archipelagic regions.
