Thesocio-economics and governance indicator utilize questionnaire method and discussions with a sample of localcommunity selected randomly from 4 villages around the TNBB zone.The biophysical indicator demonstrate that the amount of coral reef cover in TNBB is 37,1% which falls underthe MEDIUM category. Meanwhile, the socio-economic indicator illustrates that the community relies very little onmarine resources and have an adequate understanding of conservation efforts and sustainable use of naturalresources. Governance indicator shows that stakeholders involvement is proceeding well with a good level ofsatisfaction regarding collaborative management process.Collaborative management of TNBB waters is quite effective in conserving coral reef ecosystem, which is builtfrom awareness, ownership and stakeholder commitment through a cooperation of various organizations called ForumKomunikasi Masyarakat Peduli Pesisir (FKMPP).
