Abstract

This research explores the diverse ecosystems of Sumberkima Village, situated in Gerokgak Subdistrict, Buleleng Regency, Bali Province, Indonesia, to assess their potential for ecotourism development. The study focuses on the rich ecological resources, particularly coral reef ecosystems, seagrass beds, seaweed, and mangroves, which offer unique opportunities for visitors interested in experiencing the underwater world. Additionally, the presence of fish farming activities using floating net cage systems adds another layer of attraction, allowing visitors to gain insights into fish farming processes and enjoy fresh seafood products. The combination of ecological diversity and fish farming activities provides a strong foundation for developing ecotourism programs centered around direct interaction between visitors and coastal resources. This research underscores the importance of conservation and sustainable management practices to ensure the long-term viability of ecotourism initiatives in Sumberkima Village, while also emphasizing the active involvement of local communities in tourism development and resource management efforts.
