Pelaksanaan penelitian pada 05 November - 25 Desember 2023 di Kecamatan Lepar Kabupaten Bangka Selatan. Pengambilan data berupa sumber daya ekowisata ekosistem terumbu karang, parameter perairan, komposisi subsrat, kesehatan terumbu karang, sumberdaya ikan karang, serta karakteristrik, preferensi, dan kepuasaan pengujung. Teknik pengambilan data observasi langsung, penyebaran kuesioner dengan metode accidental sampling kepada 50 orang wisatawan, serta studi literatur. Analisis data dengan metode kuantitatif yaitu menggunakan rumus keanekaragaman, dominasi, software CPCe, tingkat kesehatan terumbu karang, skala likert. Sumberdaya ekowisata ekosistem terumbu karang yang terdapat di Kecamatan Lepar di temukan 27 genus terumbu karang, 8 famili ikan karang. Luaran yang dihasilkan sebagai upaya pengembangan ekowisata ekosistem terumbu karang dengan judul “Ngayau Ke Karang Kucek” dan ”Vacation in Lepar Island” serta poster promosi dan peta sebaran terumbu karang.
