Abstract/Notes The satellites and GIS based utilizations have been widely used as tools to assist the managers, stakeholders and government to develop the sustainable marine protected areas (MPA). MARXAN is one of the tools to classify and determine the zoning which is based from the values of the features presents within area studied. The Gili Sulat and Gili Lawang, Lombok, is one of the established local marine protected areas in Indonesia. In June 2007, IMRO has assessed the area to determine and provide new scientific perspectives in the development of the Gili Sulat- Gili Lawang MPA. A MARXAN approach was done to determine new zoning within MPA, based on in-situ data surveys and other collected data. The target area for “No Take Zone” is 30% of the total area. The result, MARXAN showed potential area to be select as “No Take Zone”. The area it self covers the coral reef, mangroves and sea grass bed ecosystems.
It has to be noticed that the MARXAN results are not a decision, but more likely to provide advices and recommendations in developing of zoning within the MPA.
