【 摘 要 】

Sabang Island is one of the atolls (coral) islands in Aceh and has a diverse biodiversity. Coral reef ecosystems are the main ecosystem in coastal and marine areas, where in addition to having ecological values, the marine natural resources also have promising economi c value to the community in the field of tourism. Tourism can provide context for learning experiences, can be integrated into environmental education programs, and can be used as a source of learning to increase a learner's awareness and concern for the environment and it is also committed to preventing environmental damage. This research used a survey method on data collection of coral observation surveys used Line Intercept Transect (English et al., 1997; Hill and Wilkinson, 2004) with a length of 100 meters 4 Segment, while observing fish species used Fish Belt Transect. The data obtained were counted and tabulated in table form, then biological biodiversity analysis is carried out (Mueller-Dombois and Ellenberf, 1974; Ludwig and Reynold, 1988; Odum, 1971). The results from natural resource potency analysis for marine ecotourism is concluded that the natural resource potency for marine ecotourism was very varied and could be used as a learning resource for environmental education categorized into two, namely physical and non-physical environments. Direct learning activities in the real environment through environmental education are expected to develop basic knowledge about the environment, be a guide in interacting with the environment, improve reasoning and identifying problem skills, contribute to problem solving, and prevent new problems. Utilization of nat ural resources for marine ecotourism as a source of environmental education is learning resources by utilization.
