Abstract

Fisheries management, which focuses on using fisheries resources to improve the livelihood of the fishing communities, has led to over-exploitation of fish resources on the east coast of North Sumatra. This has led to a decline in the potential of some fish species, which in turn has affected fishermen's incomes. This study aims to identify the socio-economic conditions of fishermen through the Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries Management (EAFM) and the factors that influence them. The data used are primary and secondary data, collected through observation, interviews, and literature studies. The study involved a sample of 64 fishermen from three locations along the eastern coast of Sumatra: Medan, Serdang Bedagai, and Deli Serdang. This research uses a descriptive qualitative method and the EAFM approach to analyze the social and economic conditions of fishermen in Medan, Deli Serdang, and Serdang Bedagai. The results of this study indicate that there has been a decline in the number of fishermen and the capture fisheries production at the research sites. The score of the social domain scored 55.55 (moderate), while the economic domain scored 66.67 (good) indicating effective but improvable management. The research results show that the indicators of stakeholder participation, utilization of local knowledge for fisheries management, asset ownership, and demand for fishery products are in the good category, while the indicators of fisheries conflicts and fishermen's household income are in the poor category, which needed to be the focus for improvement and enhancement.

Abstract

The application of organic agriculture in lowland rice farming is one of the interesting topics in an effort to reduce environmental pollution caused by the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides. This study aimed to determine the level of production and analyze the environmental impact of the soil from the application of organic and conventional agriculture in the Banyan District, Deli Serdang Regency. The results showed that 1) There was a significant difference between the production of harvested dry grain (GKP) of organic paddy and the production of harvested dry grain (GKP) of conventional lowland rice. 2) The level of soil fertility in organic and conventional lowland rice farming has low criteria

Abstract

The hazardous heavy metal lead (Pb) can infiltrate the human body through the food chain. This study aimed to determine the maximum allowed amount of lead (Pb) and the lead heavy metal content in the meat of kapah clams (Meretrix lyrata) from Pantai Labu, Deli Serdang Regency, North Sumatra Province. This study used stratified random sampling in three locations: Bagan Beach, Muara Serdang, and Putra Deli. Heavy metal lead (Pb) measurements were conducted using the Parkin Elmer Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry (AAS) method with an Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer. Maximum Tolerable Intake (MTI) or Maximum Weekly Intake (MWI) is divided by the amount of heavy metal lead (Pb) in Kapah Clam meat (Meretrix lyrata) to determine the permissible consumption limit. As a result, exceeding the MTI limit can lead to toxicity.
