ABSTRACT

In the planning of coastal zone Batudaka islands, fisheries has important role due to its social and economic value. However, fisheries activities have also negative multiplier in terms of its effect on the coastal environment especially when there is no proper management of this activities. The aims of this research are to estimate the carrying capacity of the coastal area which is appropriated for sustainable fisheries development due. to ecological footprint approach (EFA). Results of the study showed that the carrying capacity of appropriated coastal area was low, the level EFA local scale (district) were 0.04 ha/capita and regional scale (regency) were 0.3 ha/capita. This reason indicated that still exist ecological area can be done for fisheries, and surplus fisheries area as sustainable indicator on fisheries activity.
