2. INTRODUCTION The sea area of South Bangka Regency is about 10,640 km2 or approximately 2/3 of the total administrative area of South Bangka Regency. The length of the coastline is 273 km , making South Bangka has a cooperative advantage in the management of coastal natural resources, including mangroves. South Bangka has an area of 1955.16 ha of mangrove forest spread over several places, including in Tukak Sadai Village, Lepar Island, and Pongok Island. Mangroves in the Tukak Sadai area of 750.56 ha are protected forest . Currently, the utilization of the Tukak Sadai area as a tourism place is only about 0.6%.

3. Ecotourism is a sustainable tourism activity that can provide economic value to the community and local government, but still strives to maintain natural sustainability, protect ecosystems, and preserve socio-culture in an area (Ari and Putra, 2020; Swangjang and Kornpiphat , 2019). Through natural activities, tourists are invited to see nature more closely so that they love nature more, in addition to thoroughly introducing socio-culture to ecotourism areas, including mangroves ( Swangjang and Kornpiphat , 2019).

4. Research Purposes According to the Regulation of the Ministry of Forestry (2010), the status of protected forest can be used as a natural tourism area with the provisions of a maximum area of 10% of the total area. Considering that only 0.6% of the tourism conditions have been utilized by the people and government of South Bangka , the community and local government want to make the Tukak Sadai area a wider and more comprehensive ecotourism area. The current utilization is only in the form of fish cages and local tourism. Therefore, this study was conducted to analyze the potential for the development of the Tukak Sadai mangrove forest as ecotourism.

5. Research Location The research location is the mangrove forest in Tukak-Sadai Subdistrict, South Bangka . Social activity is seen in some spots such as making the tracks and doing performances for tourist attractions in Tukak Village.

6. Research Method The method to obtain the data was done by putting the tracks vertically toward the coastal line Based on the sampling intensity of 0 . 1 %, there are 20 tracks in Sadai and 10 tracks in Tukak . Each of them was divided into three zones (proximal, medial, and distal) for the repetition. One sample plot sized 5m x 5m is set up in each zone. Each quadrant is measured with some parameters which are adjusted to the eco-tourism criteria The characteristics and access of the area are directly observed in the field. The data analysis uses the matrix of suitability for eco-tourism in the mangrove category, according to Yulinda (2007). Then, the score of the Tourism Suitability Index (TSI) is calculated and adjusted to the mangrove suitability classes.

7. Data Analysis To analyze the data on vegetation density, this research uses a formula Density (D) = the total number of individual/quadrant unit The identification of macroscopic biota is visually observed in the research location and then is analyzed in the Forest Ecological Laboratory in the Faculty of Forestry, Universitas Gajah Mada .

13. Conclusion From the analysis result and discussion, it can be concluded that the score of the Tourism Suitability Index (TSI) in Tukak is 60,71% and in Sadai is 68,75%. It means that the score belongs to suitability class S4 (conditionally suitable). To get a higher TSI score, future research may add the number of sample plots (to increase sampling intensity) in the same place.
