This study looks for to determine the biophysical potential of seagrass ecosystems as a support for ecotourism activities on Menjangan Besar Island. By generating ecotourism suitability values as seagrass supports, generating carrying capacity values for seagrass ecotourism areas, and assessing community perception and participation on Menjangan Besar Island, Karimun Islands, Java, on the opportunities for seagrass ecosystem carrying capacity as a support for ecotourism. On Menjangan Besar Island in the Karimun Islands of Java, the research was carried out in April and May of 2017. The observation approach, which involved gathering data in the field and reading relevant literature, was employed in this study. According to Yulianda, 2007, appropriateness is the weight used to assess the suitability of seagrass ecotourism. Seagrass cover, seagrass species, fish species, brightness, temperature, depth, current velocity, substrate type, salinity, infrastructure and facilities, accessibility, and observing the community's reaction are a few of the parameters that have been observed. Following the processing of field survey data using Microsoft Excel 2010 and ArcGIS 10.1, the outcomes were evaluated against regional suitability standards for ecotourism activities in seagrass ecosystems. Menjangan Besar Island is included in the "Compliant" criteria with the computation of values from station 1 to station 4, namely: 64%, 64%, 66%, 66%, based on the results of observations and data processing. The seagrass ecotourism activity area on Menjangan Island has a carrying capacity that is large enough to accommodate 113 people per day for snorkeling. The results of perceptions, attitudes, and community participation towards ecotourism activities themselves are that they agree and will participate in ecotourism activities in seagrass ecosystems.
