Sea urchin is one of the abundant resources in Indonesia. It is an economical organism because its eggs have been exported. Wakatobi island is one regency at southeast Sulawesi which exploitation it for seafood. The sea urchin has been used intensively however worrisome to be degraded. This study aims to asses the sustainability status of sea urchin based on biology, ecology, and technology. The study used RAPFISH Method (Rapid Appraisal for Fisheries Sustainability) and AHP (Analytical Hierarchy Process). The results showed that the value of the sustainability index of Biology is 85.10 (very good), Ecology 88.39 (very good) and technology 67.54 (good). All value of sea urchin management sustainability index is 82, 40 (very good). Management strategy needs to keep sea urchin sustainability controlled the fishing size, fishing gear modifications, limiting fishing capacity and create regulation of sea urchin fishing.
