Abstract

The Cuku Nyinyi Mangrove Ecotourism Area in Sidodadi Village, Pesawaran Regency, Lampung has strong potential for marine ecotourism based on mangrove, seagrass, and coral reef ecosystems. However, increasing pressure from human activities and changing environmental conditions have led to the degradation of coral reefs, highlighting the need for rehabilitation efforts involving local communities. This community service program aimed to improve the knowledge and skills of ecotourism managers and local residents in coral reef transplantation using the spider-web method as an effort to support conservation and sustainable marine tourism development. The program was implemented through educational sessions on coral reefs, training in the use of diving equipment (SCUBA), construction of transplantation media, coral fragmentation, attachment of coral fragments to spider-web frames, and placement of the media on the seabed at a depth of approximately 5 meters. Activity data were collected through field observations, documentation, and informal discussions and interviews with participants. The results showed active community participation throughout all stages of the program and increased understanding of the importance of coral reef rehabilitation. The transplantation structures were successfully installed, and initial maintenance was carried out by removing algae to reduce competition with coral fragments. The main challenges included participants’ limited experience in using diving equipment and dynamic water conditions. Overall, this program had a positive impact on improving community capacity, strengthening conservation awareness, and supporting the development of educational tourism attractions in the Cuku Nyinyi Ecotourism Area.

Abstract

Mangroves as buffer ecosystems possess a natural capacity to trap pollutants originating from both terrestrial and marine sources, including microplastics. This study aimed to identify and map the characteristics and distribution of microplastics in the sediments of the Pasir Sakti mangrove ecosystem. The study employed a descriptive–quantitative approach combining laboratory and geospatial analyses. Sediment samples were collected from five stations using purposive sampling and analyzed through granulometric analysis, microplastic extraction using a NaCl solution, and morphological identification of microplastics using a microscope. Ecological parameters, including water quality and mangrove vegetation structure, were measured in situ. The distribution of microplastics was visualized as thematic maps using a Geographic Information System (GIS). The results of water quality analysis showed temperatures ranging from 29.7 to 31.9 °C, salinity of 9–11 ppt, relatively high water pH values of 8.76–10.8, acidic soil pH values of 3–6.7, low water transparency of 22–30 cm, and very high TDS concentrations of 6,825–7,967 ppm. The sediment at the study site was predominantly classified as sand. The mangrove vegetation was dominated by Avicennia sp., with a density ranging from 0.24 to 0.67 individuals/m². A total of 259 microplastic particles were identified, comprising film, fragment, foam, fiber, and pellet types. Film was the dominant microplastic type, with a total of 160 particles.
