Abstract
Coral reef ecosystems are essential for the survival of marine life, but the presence of coral reef are declined and decayed.Methods used in this study was a survey method. To retrieve the condition of coral cover using the line intercept transectwhile to determine management strategies using SWOT analysis. The average percentage of coral cover in 8 point researchstations at 50.10% are still in the good condition, which is in the north 3 m depth 53.51%, north 7 m depth 68.14%, east 3 mdepth 93.29%, east 7 m depth 15.93%, south 3 m depth 75.17%, south 7 m depth 20.53%, west 3 m depth 41.50%, and west7 m depth 32.79%. The strategies for coral reef ecosystem management, among others: 1) community-based management, 2)forming Kelompok Masyarakat Pengawas (Pokmaswas) institutions, 3) establish in Panjang Island as a marine conservationareas, 4) Ko-Management-based, 5) effort to improve the economy in order to support the increased knowledge of theimportance of conservation and management of coral reef ecosystem.

Summary
Penelitian dilaksanakan selama 3 bulan dimulai dari bulan April hingga Juni 2013 berlokasi di Pulau Panjang, Air Bangis, Kabupaten Pasaman Barat Provinsi Sumatera Barat. Pengambilan data kondisi terumbu karang adalah dengan metode Line Intercept Transect (LIT) dilakukan di 4 (empat) stasiun sesuai dengan arah mata angin, yaitu Utara, Selatan, Timur, dan Barat dengan 2 (dua) kedalaman, yaitu kedalaman 3 m dan 7 m (Gambar 1). Panjang garis transek 10 m diulang sebanyak 3 kali pada garis pita (roll m) sepanjang 50 m (English et al 1997). Pengambilan data ikan karang berupa jenis (spesies) digunakan metode sensus transek sabuk (Belt Transect Census) (Brock 1982; English et al 1997). Parameter kualitas air (suhu, salinitas, pH, DO, fosfat, nitrat, dan kecerahan) diamati pada tiap stasiun pengamatan.
