The aims of this study were to explore the antibacterial potential of cloacal mucus olive ridley sea turtle (Lepidoehelys olivacea) and identify bacteria Escherichia coli, Salmonella spp. and Bacillus spp in sand nest of Olive ridley sea turtle semi-natural nest Banyuwangi Sea Turtle Foundation (BSTF). Those bacteria challenged with cloacal mucus olive ridley sea turtle through diffusion test using paper disc. Based on the results of this research, E. coli, Salmonella spp. and Bacillus spp. were isolated from sand samples of turtle nests failed to hatch in BSTF semi-natural hatchings. Cloacal mucus olive ridley sea turtle has antibacterial potential against the three bacteria, those are E. coli, Salmonella spp. and Bacillus spp. inhibited by cloacal mucus with diameter inhibitory of 6.535 mm, 6.56 mm and 7.83 mm respectively.
