- Abstract
The level of community knowledge about coral reefs in Barrang Caddi Island Spermonde Islands is very diverse. The applied fisheries control policies and regulations are even considered obstacles for the community in utilizing marine resources, especially coral reef resources. This study aims to reveal community knowledge about the function of coral reefs with their sources of income. When the research was conducted from October to November 2021, this research was classified as ex post facto with a quantitative descriptive survey method. A total of 76 people were chosen randomly to describe the people’s knowledge on the island. The results showed that the knowledge of the community about the use of coral reefs and efforts to rehabilitate coral reefs was moderate. In contrast, the knowledge of the community about fishing activities that had the potential to damage coral reefs, restrictions on catching specific biota, and marine space utilization zones was classified as low. Based on the research, it can be concluded that community knowledge about the function of coral reefs on Barrang Caddi Island still needs to be improved through counselling and supervision.
