This study aims to determine and analyze models of coastal villages based on fisheries agribusiness and to assess the status and index of fisheries business sustainability in supporting the development of coastal villages in Donggala Regency, Central Sulawesi. Sampling in this study consisted of the main actors and fisheries business actors in Donggala Regency. Sustainability status will be analyzed using Rapfish with five dimensions developed at the target location based on considerations that can reflect existing conditions. The results show that the sustainability of fishery resource utilization in the Coastal District of Donggala from the five dimensions is shown in the kite diagram which a whole is in the range of 25-50% indicating that the sustainability status of fisheries business in the Coastal District of Donggala is less sustainable. The lack of attention to the preservation of ecosystems and supported by the increasing activity in coastal areas (land and water) causes the low income of fishermen to catch fish and fish cultivators thus threatening the sustainability of resources.
