The amount of garbage found around the waters of Ternate City on the shelter of houses on stilts shows that the management of waste is poorly managed. This can damage coastal ecosystems and lead to environmental pollution that affects human health as a result of the low availability of environmental service providers and low levels of awareness. To reduce the disruption that arises it will require action in reducing the economic losses resulting from the declining quality of the coastal environment. This study aims to identify people's perceptions and concerns that affect the amount of people's willingness to pay (WTP) to improve the quality of Ternate city waters through contingent valuation method (CVM). Data analysis used is correlation analysis with total 257 respondents from different administration site is city center already reclaimed and neither. Analysis of WTP in efforts to increase quality of coastal waters city of Ternate with CVM suggests that the willingness to pay (WTP) is Rp15.000/KK/month. WTP amount is influenced by frequency of waste gabbage, perception of sea pollution, perception of odor, perception of color, quantity of garbage at sea, frequency of cleaning the sea, aesthetics of the sea, concern of pollutant sources and the willingness to contribute to programme. The value of the economic benefits by increasing water quality coastal of Ternate city waters is Rp105.840.000/year which indicates good potential for funding from the community to support the efforts to increase water quality of the Ternate city coastal waters.
