Abstract:

Lusi Island is a unique island formed from Lapindo mud deposits and falls under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries (MMAF) managed by the Denpasar Coastal and Marine Resources Management Center (CMRM). Lusi Island is targeted to be utilized as a Mangrove Restoration and Learning Center (MRLC). This study's goal is to characterize and evaluate dynamic governance in the development of Tlocor Marine Ecotourism on Lusi Island, Sidoarjo, along with identifying supporting and inhibiting factors. The study uses the idea of "dynamic governance," which refers to the capacity of the state to modify laws in response to sudden and unpredictable changes in the global environment to accomplish predetermined goals. The research methodology is qualitative descriptive, using information sources from the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries (MMAF) and TAG. Data collection techniques include purposive sampling and data triangulation. The findings indicate that the development efforts by MMAF and TAG in Tlocor Marine Tourism on Lusi Island do not fully reflect the capabilities of dynamic governance due to obstacles in island certification, hindering programs and infrastructure development. Research recommendations include enhancing promotional activities to increase the attractiveness of Lusi Island and improving coordination between the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries (MMAF), the Regional Government of Sidoarjo, and TAG in the village of Kedungpandan to enhance and improve tourism programs.
