Abstract
The coastal environment in Klungkung Regency is undergoing rapid change as a result of the pace of development to serve the demands of the tourism industry, especially in the Nusa Penida islands, which has been designated as a Strategic Tourism Area. Changes in the coastal environment has led to the marginalization of some coastal residents, especially palung salt farmers on the Kusamba beach. This traditional salt production technology highly depends on the stability of the coastal environment, especially the availability of land on the coast. The development of community ports on the Kusamba coast and surrounding areas to support tourism development easily creates pressure for palung salt farmers. This is because the entire production process in the traditional salt is carried out on the coastline. By relying on literature studies and documents as well as experience doing fieldwork in the Kusamba pesisri, this article shows that the development of the people's port and the arrangement of the Kusamba coastal area has marginalized palung salt farmers. Marginalization that can be identified includes restrictions on access to land on the coast border, leading to increasingly limited production areas.

The development of community ports and crossings in supporting tourism development and strengthen connectivity between the Klungkung islands and Klungkung mainland makes development-related activities very dominant in coastal areas. This has had an impact on the marginalization of palung salt farmers in Kusamba in the form of restrictions on access to coastal borders as production areas
Summary
The tourism industry has become the most important contributor to Bali’s economy. Tourism activities in the province have spread evenly to other regions and is no longer concentrated in southern Bali. The Klungkung Regency Government has an ambition to make the Nusa Penida islands a mainstay tourist area to improve regional revenue and the economy of the local population. These efforts started with the development of people's ports in both the Klungkung mainland and Klungkung Islands. The privatization of borders for the sake of tourism has restricted or entirely prevent the general public and local communities from taking part in recreation or carrying out religious rituals and other activities freely on the beach [4] Another form of marginalization of coastal communities is the limitation of access to the use of cultivated land in their environment. This paper will discuss changes in the Klungkung coastal environment and their impact on the marginalization of Kusamba salt farmers
