Abstract: <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Community development in watershed area leads to rapid changes in natural resource utilization. The land use pattern that does not follow land conservation rules has caused degradation in the upstream area of watershed. This condition potentially produces water pollution and sedimentation in downstream which can influence community life in the coastal area. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Water pollution and sedimentation in the Mundu river estuary have influenced the fisheries and agriculture production growth in Mundupesisir Village which is located downstream of the Mundu Watershed. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> A qualitative research using descriptive and evaluative approaches was conducted to identify the economic and social impact of watershed management on coastal community. Analysis of economic impact was based on fisheries and agriculture production. Prosperity levels and community interactions were used to analyze social impacts. Government policy was also examined in terms of government roles in watershed management, especially with respect to implementation. The economic impact analysis indicates that the Mundu Watershed management has a significant influence on the decline of fisheries and agriculture production in Mundupesisir village. Moreover, the watershed has a significant social impact as shown by the declining prosperity level and land ownership conflicts. This study seems to show a discord between the national and local government policies. The Cirebon regional government has not executed the national government policies as stipulated in the UU No.32/ 2004 and Keppres No.9/1999. This study proposed recommendations to the Cirebon regional government concerning watershed management policies which include the establishment of Watershed Management and River Policy Coordination Team, the formulation of a master plan on watershed management planning which is appropriate with local natural and social economic condition, and provision of local regulation that protect coastal resources and community from inappropriate land utilization in the upstream area of the watershed.
