Abstract

Coastal zones play an important role in providing various valuable ecosystem services. However, it is also sensitive and vulnerable to environmental changes due to human overpopulation and interactions between the land and ocean. Pramuka Island, located in the Kepulauan Seribu National Park, can potentially be developed as a marine ecotourism area. Some coastal ecosystems on the island can be promoted as tourist attractions. The existing coral reefs, sea turtles, and mangrove forests are potential resources that can be used as tourism objects. However, the different objectives of marine ecotourism and ecosystem conservation might raise management conflicts in relation to land use on the island. This research aims to propose a strategy for the management of Pramuka Island by synergizing the conservation interest with the development of marine ecotourism area. It employs the ecology based Management-Driver Pressure State Ecosystem Service and Response (EBM-DPSER). The results showed that government policy is in need to reduce conflicts between conservation and economic interests.
