Summary
Pengembangan ekowisata yang baik didasarkan atas sistem pandang yang mencakup didalamnya prinsip kesinambungan dan pengikutsertaan masyarakat setempat dalam proses pengembangan ekowisata tersebut. Dengan panjang garis pantai 63 km (32% dari total panjang pantai kabupaten Sambas) dan berbagai sumber daya yang dimiliki, maka kabupaten Sambas mempunyai peluang besar dalam pengembangan ekowisata pesisir. Keberadaan pantai yang terbentang luas dan letak geografis kecamatan Paloh yang berbatasan langsung dengan negara tetangga Malaysia mengindikasikan akan besarnya potensi sektor ekowisata di wilayah tersebut. Ekosistem pesisir pantai yang berbeda dari daerah lainnya dengan struktur pasir putih yang hampir terbentang sepanjang garis pantai, kondisi air lautnya yang bersih (jernih), keberadaan hutan mangrove dan habitat beragam jenis satwa penyu, ikan, dan kekayaan keanekaragaman hayati lainnya dapat menjadi daya tarik ekowisata tersendiri bagi wilayah ini. Di tengah berbagai potensi ekowisata yang dimiliki, sektor ekowisata masih belum berkembang sehingga tidak memberikan dampak signifikan terhadap pelestarian lingkungan dan kesejahteraan masyarakat di wilayah ini. Oleh sebab itu penelitian ini diperlukan dengan tujuan :1) mengidentifikasi dan menganalisis sumber daya ekowisata pesisir di kecamatan Paloh; 2) menganalisis keikutsertaan masyarakat dalam kegiatan ekowisata pesisir di kecamatan Paloh; 3) menyusun onasi lanskap kawasan ekowisata pesisir di kecamatan Paloh
