The results indicate that the implementation of marine tourism principles in the Bajulmati Beach tourism area has been effective, as reflected in three main areas: education, natural resource conservation, and the application of codes of conduct. The educational aspect is implemented through the “Sekolah Alam” (Nature School) program, informational media, and the involvement of tourists in conservation activities. The natural resource conservation aspect is demonstrated through sea turtle habitat management, coastal vegetation planting, and spatial planning of the area.
