This research aims to analyses the activities and behaviors of communities that cause damage to the coral reefs of the small island Island waters of the Spermonde Islands. This study was conducted on 8 small islands of the Spermonde Islands using a qualitative descriptive approach. The results showed that anthropogenic activity conducted by the small islands, tends not to be environmentally friendly. As a result there is damage and reduced living coral reefs are quite large. It’s been identified there are 13 island community activities that could damage the coral reef ecosystem. In order to support the sustainability and existence of coral reefs, it is a must that every stakeholders for having collaboration in the management of the community-based coral reefs. ## Keywords - Resilience of coral reefs - Environmental issues with coral reefs - Coral reef - Coral reef organizations - Coral reef protection - Aquaculture of coral - Reef - Coral - Ecosystem - Marine ecosystem - Fringing reef - Environmental science - Ecology - Geography - Fishery - Oceanography - Geology - Biology --- Sumber: Discover Unhas — RIMS Universitas Hasanuddin.
