Abstrak
The mangrove ecotourism area of Sebubus Village possesses vital conservation and ecological value as a natural habitat for proboscis monkeys and a coastal protector against erosion; however, its management remains suboptimal. This study was conducted to analyze the existing conditions of the area and the factors influencing them. This research employs a descriptive qualitative approach. Data analysis was conducted descriptively by identifying internal factors—consisting of strengths and weaknesses—as well as external factors in the form of opportunities and threats. The existing condition of the mangrove forest in the ecotourism zone of Sebubus Village is classified as good, with a relatively high vegetation density dominated by Rhizophora sp., Avicennia sp., and Nypa sp. The aquatic environmental conditions are also well-preserved, with no significant pollution or damage detected. Internal factors influencing the area include biodiversity and community support as strengths, while limited technical skills of managers and a lack of funding serve as the main weaknesses. External factors presenting opportunities include the potential for ecotourism development and partnerships with various stakeholders, whereas the primary threat stems from pond waste pollution. Overall, the dominant factors influencing the mangrove forest as a conservation land are biodiversity as the primary strength, lack of funding as the greatest weakness, ecotourism development potential as the main opportunity, and pond waste pollution as a threat to the sustainability of the area.
