Abstract: The life of coastal communities is always associated with water. Anafre River estuary is one of the river estuaries that empties directly into the Gulf of Yos Sudarso. The amount of particles swept away and buried in estuary sedimentation Anafre inflicts not only the river but the Gulf of Yos Sudarso. Declining water quality of the Gulf of Yos Sudarso is caused by the influx of water from the Anafre River, whereas all Anafre River watersheds are located in close proximity to residential areas. This study aims to determine the level of public knowledge on the effects of sedimentation and community based management. Data are collected by field observations and interviews with the community, and analyzed using the qualitative descriptive method. The results showed that the community plays an active role in the maintenance and utilization of the Yos Sudarso area, because the gulf of Yos Sudarso serves as transportation routes, tourist areas, and workplaces (fishermen). The maintenance of water environment in river estuaries and the gulf is based on the principles of awareness and cooperation without ignoring the people's culture.
