In addition to SWOT analysis was conducted to determine the institutional capacity of the village and which would be responsible for restoring coastal ecosystems. The results show that the order of handling on coastal ecosystem damage was firstly mangrove forest, secondly coral reef, thirdly estuary area and fourthly seagrass area. Institutions responsible for handling the level of damage to coastal ecosystems was a village government, which was supported by the regional work units (SKPD) at the district level. Besides that, the role of government, private and community became the key to success on the successful implementation of restoration.
