Currently, coastal areas are facing various pressures, resulting in degradation of the areas. The pressures come not only from anthropogenic factors but also from natural factors. However, coastal areas have coastal ecosystems which can potentially be developed into marine ecotourism areas. It is necessary to formulate a model of ecotourism conservation based on biodiversity. The study was conducted at Tambaan Beach, Pasuruan City to prepare a model of ecotourism conservation based on gastropod diversity in the mangrove forest, the presence of mudskipper, Total Suspended Solid, and type of sediments. The objective of this study is to develop a model that is suitable for the development of marine ecotourism areas that can be conserved so that they can be sampled for marine ecotourism areas elsewhere. The
study employed the DPSIR (Driver-Pressure-State-Impact-Responses) model to determine the process and interaction of the relationship between the coastal environment and the surrounding humans. The results indicate that the conservation management of marine ecotourism areas based on biodiversity is essential not only for the current generation but also for future generations
