Coral reef ecosystem in the one of the coastal ecosystems which have an important role both ecologically and economically. Coral reef in Ihamahu Village have been damaged at lagoon area due to pressure of community activities. This research was carried out at Laguna Besar and Slope Reef (Labuang) Laguna Kipuo, Ihamahu Village, East Saparua District, Central Maluku on March to August 2018. The purposes of the research were: to analyze the suitability and support capacity of the area for coral reefs rehabilitation in lagoon as well as to analyze social support of the community for the management of coral reefs rehabilitation area. The primary data was collected directly through observing the condition of coral reefs and supporting parameters of coral transplantation, distributing questionnaire, and interviewing the community of Ihamahu village, while the secondary data was collected through relevance literature from some previous research. The result showed that the condition of coral reefs was damaged. The parameters used to analyze the suitability of coral transplantation showed that both areas were suitable for coral transplantion. The area of coral reefs rehabilitation at station 1 was 4.45 ha which is able to accommodate 988,980 artificial block substrates, while stasion 2 had 0.90 ha with 200,000 artificial block substrates. The result also showed that 100% of Ihamahu Villagers supported this program.

ABSTRAK
Ekosistem terumbu karang merupakan salah satu ekosistem pesisir yang peranan penting baik secara ekologi maupun ekonomi. Terumbu karang telah mengalami kerusakan pada daerah laguna Negeri Ihamahu akibat tekanan aktivitas masyarakat. Penelitian dilakukan di perairan Negeri Ihamahu tepatnya di Laguna Besar dan Slope Reef (Labuang) Laguna Kipuo, Negeri Ihamahu, Kecamatan Saparua Timur, Kabupaten Maluku Tengah pada Maret-Agustus 2018. Tujuan penelitian ini yaitu menganalisis kesesuaian daerah rehabilitasi terumbu karang di Laguna dan menganalisis daya dukung dalam pengelolaan daerah rehabilitasi terumbu karang di daerah Laguna. Pengumpulan data primer diperoleh melalui pengamatan secara langsung meliputi kondisi terumbu karang, parameter penunjang transplantasi karang, penyebaran kuisioner, dan wawancara langsung masyarakat di Negeri Ihamahu. Data sekunder dikumpulkan melalui literatur-literatur dari berbagai penelitian terkait sebelumnya. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa kondisi terumbu karang berada pada kategori rusak. Parameter yang dipakai untuk menganalisis kesesuaian transplantasi karang menghasilkan kedua lokasi sudah sesuai untuk dilakukan transplantasi karang. Luas lahan rehabilitasi terumbu karang pada stasiun 1 adalah 4,45 Ha dengan daya dukung sebanyak 988.890 substrat buatan, stasiun 2 sebanyak 200.000 substrat buatan dengan luas areal rehabilitasi 0,90 Ha. Kegiatan rehabilitasi dengan teknik transplantasi ini didukung 100% oleh masyarakat.
