Abstract
Mangrove nature tourism Sedari Village is an ecotourism location that has the potential to be developed with natural resources that are still awake and an area of mangrove forests around 49.20 Ha. However, in its management, it still does not pay attention to the principles of ecotourism regarding the suitability and carrying capacity for ecotourism. The purpose of this study is to determine the potential in the mangrove nature tourism Sedari Village and assess the suitability and carrying capacity. The method used in this research is survey method and descriptive - quantitative analysis. The results obtained in the mangrove nature tourism Sedari Village there are 4 types of mangroves, namely R. mucronata, R. stylosa, S. alba and A. marina with a mangrove density of 2.055 ind / ha then found 4 types of biota and 2 species namely mullet fish, milkfish , mangrove crabs, little egrets and monitor lizards. For the tourism suitability index value obtained 73% which is included in both the category and the physical carrying capacity obtained 32,800 people / day, the real carrying capacity is 25,047 people / day and the ecological carrying capacity is 26.65 ha. ecological carrying capacity for bridge tracking tourism activities obtained by 55 people / ha and bird watching tourism activities obtained by 165 people / ha.
 Keywords: mangrove, ecotourism suitability, ecotourism carrying capacity
Highlights
Mangrove forests are typical ecosystems in coastal areas that have natural beauty and the environment in the form of components of the ecosystem consisting of vegetation, biota or organisms, wildlife and the surrounding environment
This study aims to determine what the potential contained in the mangrove ecotourism Sedari Village and assess the suitability and carrying capacity
The tools used for data collection in the field are roll meter, rapia rope, meter, Global Positioning System (GPS), camera stationery and mangrove identification book and natural biota
Summary
Mangrove forests are typical ecosystems in coastal areas that have natural beauty and the environment in the form of components of the ecosystem consisting of vegetation, biota or organisms, wildlife and the surrounding environment. According to the Department of Forestry (1996), mangrove ecosystems have three functions such as physical functions, namely being able to protect coastlines from abrasion, biological functions, namely as a place to find food and breed for fish, shrimp, shellfish, crabs, and other marine biota, and economic functions namely as a place for aquaculture ponds, places for taking wood and tourist attractions. This dewasi, the pressure of decline in mangrove ecosystems continues to occur. Utilization of mangrove ecosystems should be able to pay attention to the protection of mangrove ecosystems from damage so that their utilization can be sustainable
