Shrimp is a fishery commodity that has nutrients and nutrients, this makes the demand for shrimp high enough to meet the needs of the community or consumers. The high demand has become an opportunity for several coastal communities, especially the people of Muara village, Cikeusik sub-district who have started cultivating shrimp ponds. The existence of a business will definitely have an impact on the environment. The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of the existence of shrimp ponds on environmental conditions on the coast of Muara village, Cikeusik sub-district. The method used in this research is descriptive qualitative research with an ethnomethodological approach. The research was conducted in June 2021. The research locus was in Muara village, Cikeusik-Pandeglang sub-district. Research informants included 10 shop owners around shrimp ponds, 7 shrimp farmers, and 20 residents living on the coast of Muara village. The process of selecting key informants and informants rolled like a snowball. To increase the validity of the data, researchers conducted checks, checks, and crosschecks, as well as prolonging time with informants. The data collection method used participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The data were analyzed using four qualitative research steps including data collection, data classification according to the theme/problem formulation, data filtering, and drawing conclusions. Based on the results of data analysis, it can be concluded that the motives of the community choosing shrimp farming as a job are the difficulty of finding work, and shrimp farming has a negative impact on the coastal environment, namely, damage to coastal corals, felling of pandanus and coconut trees, the emergence of large holes on the coast and threats environmental pollution and abrasion.
