Mangrove ecotourism is one of the important tourism in the coastal area. Mangrove ecosystems not only have physical and biological functions, but also have socioeconomic functions, including tourism potential. Utilization of mangrove areas to be ecotourism areas is an alternative that is very likely and high strategic, considering that ecotourism activities can encourage conservation of mangrove ecosystems as a buffer zone in coastal areas in particular. This study aims to formulate a model of mangrove ecotourism management in Lantebung of Makassar City. The study was conducted with a dynamic system approach with Powersim software (student version). The study location is at Lantebung of Makassar City, especially in mangrove area. Data collection, consist of; literature study, interviews and field observations. The results study obtained two dynamic model scenarios related to the management of the Lantebung mangrove eco-tourism, it’s known that the optimal level of management that can be done now is to encourage better tourism promotion. This can be seen from the dynamic model results obtained that scenario-2 (the strategy to increase tourism promotion is 10%) is more optimal than scenario-1 (the strategy to increase community empowerment is 10%). Even though the aspect of mangrove conservation scenario-1 is better where it can increase the extent of existing mangroves (20 Ha) to 28.54 Ha or an increase about is 42.70%. Whereas the mangrove scenarios only increased to 25.25 Ha or increased about is 26.25% in the same period. While from the economic aspect, the scenario-2 is able to generate income from ecotourism of 620.25 million, and scenario-1 only produces 588.81 million in the next 30 years.

Abstract. Daris L, Massiseng ANA, Fachry ME, Jaya, Zaenab ST. 2022. The impact of fishermen’s conflict on the sustainability of crab (Portunus pelagicus) resources in the coastal areas of Maros District, South Sulawesi, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 23: 5278-5289. Using environmentally unfriendly fishing gear causes damage to coral reefs and seagrass, which are the habitat of crabs. The prohibition on using ecologically unfriendly fishing gear, such as mini trawl, in catching crabs and shrimps in the coastal area of ??Maros District, South Sulawesi, Indonesia, has triggered horizontal conflicts between traditional fishermen from 1985 until now. This study aims to identify the types of fishing conflicts and analyze the distribution of conflict areas and the maximum fishing rate that could threaten the sustainability of crab (Portunus pelagicus) resources. This research was conducted from February to July 2022 in the coastal area of ??Maros, South Sulawesi Province, Indonesia. The type of data is primary and secondary data. The data collection methods used in this study were observation, interviews, and Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA). The analysis data used qualitative by reducing and presenting data obtained from observations, interviews, and PRA, as well as spatial analysis and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to describe the distribution map of fishermen's conflicts. The results showed that the types of conflicts between fishermen using crab resources were agrarian conflicts, technological conflicts, and perception conflicts between fishermen using trammel nets and traps and fishermen using mini trawls. Conflicts between fishermen in resource utilization crabs occur between ??2.71-3.26 km from the coast during dark moons and 2.17-3.26 km during bright moons. Fishing conflicts have an impact on decreasing crab catches from 2015 until 2021, where the fishing effort (trip) has exceeded the sustainable fishing effort (MSY) by 690 trips/year with a total catch of 1232.3 tons/year.

Ornamental fish is one of the largest foreign exchange earners that have a strategic role in the Indonesian economy. During the COVID-19 pandemic, almost all economic sectors experienced a decline, including the marine and fisheries sectors. This study aims to examine how the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the marketing of ornamental fish in Balang Baru Village. The results showed that sales of ornamental fish before the pandemic were sold on a large scale with relatively uniform sizes and prices, while during the pandemic, sales were mostly done on a small scale or per head with prices that varied depending on size and color

The growing public interest in travelling has become a different strength for the tourism industry currently. The existence of a person on a trip that can be shown on social media can be a force that indirectly becomes a promotional tool. The tourist village that is currently trending is a form of tourism which consists of natural tourism which is integrated with other tours, to provide a unique value compared to additional terms. The Karst area in Maros and Pangkep Regencies has the potential to be used as a tourist area, but currently, these karst areas have been widely used as raw material for the cement industry. One of the villages that has natural karst tourism in Maros Regency is the village of Botolempangan which has been planned by the village government as a tourism village because it has various unique natural resources that can become new income alternatives for the community, so it is essential to be developed as well as a reason to maintain the area. Karst which began to be eroded by industrial companies. The purpose of this study was to identify tourism potential and analyze the development strategy of the tourist village of Botolempangan. The research method used is observation, in-depth interviews and FGD. The analysis used is a descriptive qualitative analysis and SWOT analysis. Based on the results of the study, it shows that the village of Botolempangan has tourism potential in the form of natural karst tourism, cave tourism (leang), fisheries tourism, Sulawesi endemic monkeys, natural scenery, outbound, camping and educational tours. Based on the SWOT analysis, there are four strategies that can be carried out to develop the tourist village of Botolempangan, i.e. 1). The increased synergy between the government, universities and the community, especially managers in maximizing the supporting factors for the implementation of tourism villages 2). We are managing the Botolempangan karst area into a tourism village that is integrated with nature tourism, fisheries tourism, culinary tours and educational tours 3). Optimizing village budgets to improve tourist facilities and providing education for managers in supporting tourism 4). Increased promotions that prioritize the uniqueness of the region, facilities and the convenience of visiting through social media and partnerships with a local travel.

Fishery is one of the human activities to utilize aquatic resources in fresh, brackish and marine waters. This effort is made to meet the needs of human life for the availability of animal protein for growth and as a source of meeting other economic needs. Fishery business consists of components that are interrelated with one another, namely capture fisheries and aquaculture and supported by marketing and processing of fishery products. One of the fishing gear used by fishermen around the coast is a hand line. The purpose of this study was to find out which light are effective in the operation of hand line fishing gear in Takalar waters. The data collection technique was done by using the trial method (Expermental fishing), by conduction trials using two different lamps, namely LED lights (light emitting diode) and petromax lamps. This research was conducted in Takalar Waters in July-August 2020. The results showed that the size structure of the squid and cuttlefish caught on the LED lights ranged from 6- 27.5 cm, totaling 310 tail, weighing 41.15 kg (69.51%), whilw the size structure of the squid caught in the petromax lamp ranges 9,5-27,6 cm totaling 136 tail, weighing 17.91 kg (30.49%), significantly different from the result of t-student.
