The Sapuka Islands do not yet have the status of coral reefs and fish resources to support the determination of ethno-based conservation zones. This study uses observation, survey, and social mapping methods. The analysis used is descriptive qualitative analysis and ArcGIS. This study aims to analyse the status of coral reefs and fish resources in the Sapuka Islands and determine conservation zones in the ethnoconservation areas in the Sapuka Islands. The results of this study indicate that the highest level of coral reef damage is on Sapuka Caddi Island, covering an area of 150.46 Ha and the lowest damage is on Sambargitang Island, 7.76 Ha. Types of ethnoconservation fish based on tribe are Octopus, which is protected by the Bajo tribe; Snapper, protected by the Mandar tribe; and Tendro Fish, protected by the Bugis and Makassar tribes. The determination of conservation zones in the ethnoconservation area in the Sapuka Islands, with an area of 71,956.53 Ha is located in the Core Zone covering an area of 3,513.87 Ha, the Limited Utilisation Zone covering an area of 38,719.71 Ha, and the Other Zone covering an area of 17,974.7 Ha. ## Keywords - Coral reef - Fishery - Coral reef protection - Environmental issues with coral reefs - Geography - Marine conservation - Marine protected area - Coral reef organizations - Aquaculture of coral - Fishing - Coral reef fish - Fish - Marine reserve - Protected area - Reef - Coral - Ecosystem - Fisheries management - Resource (disambiguation) - Ecology - Marine ecosystem - Natural resource --- Sumber: Discover Unhas — RIMS Universitas Hasanuddin.
