A study on the water quality in a body of water is an important thing to do, especially for the waters that are vulnerable to contamination and classified as the productive waters area. Nolloth Village has conservation waters that are managed by the local community based on local wisdom, i.e. Labuang Sasi with an area of 23.85 hectares. It is used by the people of Nolloth Village for fishing. However, managing coastal resources is also inseparable from the low understanding of the local community concerning the true value of coastal resources as a whole. The extraction of natural resources by coastal communities still leaves waste. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the condition of the water quality in Labuan Sasi Waters, Nolloth Village, Central Maluku. The employed parameters in this study included pH, DO, salinity, and temperature at 4 observation stations. The applied method in this study was the direct measurement on the surface of Labuan Sasi Waters in Nolloth Village. The obtained results of measurements indicated that in-situ DO in Labuang Sasi Waters ranged from 4.87 to 4.89 mg/l; in-situ pH ranged from 7.21 to 7.67; the in-situ temperature ranged from 29.30 to 30.50 0 C; and in-situ salinity ranged from 4.87 to 4.89‰. Overall, the results of measurement and the analysis of water quality parameters in Labuang Sasi Waters indicated that the waters are in good condition and can support the life of the marine biota.
