Abstract

In some areas, the coral reefs are utilized as tourist attractions. Therefore, coral reefs have the potential to develop as something that will be more beneficial for either the region and its people. On the other hand, this activity would cause damage to the coral reefs. Hence, a partnership that can be used as cooperation is needed here. Various local government policies are needed to preserve the coral reefs which apply to each region by adapting their local wisdom. In this regard, this research aims to determine the cooperation carried out by women, especially the fishermen’s wives, in the sustainable utilization of coral reefs to develop the community’s economy and maintain its sustainability. This research uses primary data and secondary data. The primary data collection was carried out through observations of coral reef ecosystems that have never become tourist areas, in-depth interviews with coral reef management respondents which were selected by “snowball sampling”, related agencies, and competent key persons that were selected by “purposive sampling”. The Secondary data was obtained through policy studies, local community habits which became a local wisdom in protecting the environment, the laws and regulations regarding coral reef conservation, documentation from related sources, and literature used to enrich the analysis. Just a few women’s groups have collaborated to utilize the natural resources in their environment, including coral reefs. So, encouragement from the government is needed to collaborate with the community, through various policies. The development of cooperation does not just happen by itself, but it also requires the government’s encouragement. Cooperation or partnerships in the utilization of coral reefs can be done by escalating the human resource capacity; increasing public understanding and awareness; strengthening the community’s socio-economics around their area; and/or providing and maintaining the area management facilities and infrastructure. These choices depend on the needs of the community.
