Strategi Pemberdayaan Ekologis Berbasis Kolaborasi Multi-Pihak dalam Restorasi Terumbu Karang di Wilayah Pesisir Bali

Abstract

The condition of coral reefs in Bali, especially in Badung Regency, is severely damaged due to waste from tourism activities. Conflicts of interest between traditional fishermen and tourism operators as well as limited funding are inhibiting factors for restoration efforts. This research aims to formulate ecological empowerment strategies based on multi-stakeholder collaboration in sustainable coral reef restoration in coastel areas of Bali. The method used is a literature study with a qualitative descriptive approach that utilizes secondary data sources. Some areas such as Nusa Penida show restoration success thanks to collaboration between NGOs and local communities. SWOT analysis shows the potential for ecotourism development as an opportunity for coral reef sustainability, but the threat from climate change remains a concern. The results emphasize that cross-actor collaboration, active community participation, and the support of local values such as Tri Hata Karana can increase restoration effectiveness. The implications of this research point to the importance of community capacity building, collaborative policy support, and local wisdom-based approaches as the basis for inclusive and sustainable marine conservation strategies.
