Abstract

Saung Mangrove Ecotourism in Tengket Village, Arosbaya District, Bangkalan Regency has considerable potential as a conservation-based tourism destination. However, it has not yet been supported by distinctive local souvenirs or tourism attractions that actively engage the local community. This community service program was conducted to introduce the ecoprint technique to the Tengket Berdaya Tourism Awareness Group (Pokdarwis) as an alternative for developing creative economy products based on local vegetation. The program employed a Participatory Action Approach (PAA) comprising socialisation, training, hands-on practice, monitoring, and evaluation. Program effectiveness was assessed through pre-test and post-test instruments, while participants' practical skills were evaluated through direct observation during the training sessions. The results showed that the participants' average score increased from 66.0 to 96.7 after the training. In addition, participants successfully produced various ecoprint products using local vegetation, demonstrating their potential as distinctive souvenirs for Saung Mangrove Ecotourism. The training also created opportunities to develop experience-based tourism activities while strengthening community-based creative economic initiatives.
