Variation of coastal resource potential in Tejakula District

Abstract

This research was conducted in Tejakula District, Buleleng Regency with the aim of (1) describing the potential of coastal resources in Tejakula District, (2) analyzing the level of potential coastal resources in each coastal village in Tejakula District. This research uses descriptive design. Data were collected through observation, interview, and documentation techniques and then analyzed qualitatively. The results showed the highest potential of biological resources in the form of fish resources, coral reefs and turtles, non-biological resources in the form of salt ponds, artificial resources in the form of boats, and environmental services in the form of marine tourism including (dolphin attraction, snorkeling, and dive). Second, variations in the potential of coastal resources in Tejakula District are grouped into three. The potential of coastal resources with a high category is in Tejakula Village because coastal resources have been fully managed, especially the utilization of tourism potential, coastal resources with moderate potential namely in Bondalem Village, Les Village, and Penuktukan Village because coastal resources are still in management such as developing tourism potential, and coastal resources with low potential are found in Tembok, Sambirenteng, Julah, Sambiran, and Pacung Village because they have not developed tourism potential and only develop fisheries resources.
