Abstract

Mandeh Bay is threatened by sedimentation issue caused by the rapid development of marine tourism area which strongly impacts to the environmental degradation. Due to the semi-enclosed area of Mandeh Bay, the tidal current has a significant role in triggering vertical and horizontal transports within the bay. This study aimed to determine the characteristic of tidal current during the southwest monsoon. We developed a hydrodynamic model based on Navier-Stokes equations using a flexible mesh and tidal forecast in which the validation is performed by ADCP data. The simulation results will be used as the basic data to develop a model which depicts the elliptical pattern of tidal current constituents. Offshore rotary tidal currents which are originally semidiurnal reiterate the elliptical pattern every 6 hours and 12 minutes. The strongest semidiurnal current speeds are observed in the bay mouth ranged from 0.1-0.5 m.s-1. The tidal constituent ellipses are oriented more meridionally and in several areas oriented zonally. The current speed of is the highest at all which the speed is averagely one third of magnitude. While, the two main diurnal tidal constituents ( and ) have the maximum speeds approximately one fifth of magnitude. Thus, the domination of semidiurnal constituents may trigger sediment distribution and accumulation within the bay because of its twice tidal oscillations entering the bay.

Abstract

Bordered with the Indian Ocean, Simeulue Islands is one of the outermost islands in Indonesia located in the west part of Aceh Province. Simeulue waters are productive areas due to the unpolluted condition yet and great of biomass. Three regions were particularly observed, those are Simeuluecut, Ganting, and Labuhan Bajau. In those areas, the existing marine tourism activities might influence the coral reef ecosystem studied. This study aimed to evaluate the condition of coral and coral reef fish in those three particular regions before mass bleaching event in 2016 triggered by ENSO. Point Intercept Transect (PIT) method was employed to record the percentage cover of coral, species diversity, and coral reef fish. Ganting waters was a moderate ecosystem area whith the percentage coverage was up to 45.62%. However, in Simeuluecut and Labuhan Bajau waters, the coral reef communities were excellent with coral percentage coverage reached 83.12% and 81.25 %, respectively. The highest  abundance genera of coral reef fish was observed in Simueluecut waters. This condition was changed oppositely in 2016 when mass bleaching threatened Simeulue waters due to temperature anomaly triggered by ENSO phenomenon. The temperature increases almost 3oC for 6 months that undoubtedly induced bleaching that about 50% of coral colonies were dramatically declined in coral coverage and coral recruitment.

Abstract

Nowadays, Mandeh Region has developed significantly as the center of marine ecotourism in West Sumatra Province. Many local and international tourists were visiting this site. Due to those conditions, many threats emerged, such as mass tourism evoking damages and pollutions. This study aimed to examine the feasibility of the Mandeh Region for tourism activity and identify the impacts of mass tourism. A direct survey has been conducted. We assessed water quality, accessibility, and social conflicts using a scoring method. A modified matrix categorizing some parameters as the underlying data for marine tourism sustainability was used. We also developed Smartline and CVI model to assess the vulnerability level along Mandeh coastal bay. Local zonation was recommended to reduce more environmental damages. We examined the feasibility of the Mandeh region as a place for ecotourism that reached 71.12 %, indicating this area is sufficiently feasible. The absence of local regulations before the Mandeh region was established as the center of marine ecotourism resulted in mass tourism phenomena that elevated marine litter accumulation. Moreover, the development of many resorts near the coast has recently played a role in triggering pollution and damage. Advanced regulation and management are necessary to diminish negative impacts on both the environment and society.

Abstract

Highlight ResarchThe cause of local coral bleaching in Manjuto Beash has been addressed.The influence of ebb-tide cycles on salinity mixing and stratification was analyzed.Spatial analysis Digital Shoreline Analysis System (DSASv5) was conducted to determine the coastline changes in Manjuto Beach.Flow model flexible mesh was simulated to determine the flow pattern within Sungai Pinang Bay.AbstractIn October 2019, the local community reported the occurrence of coral bleaching of a colony of Acropora sp. at Manjuto Beach, Pesisir Selatan Regency experienced bleaching. It was published in several local news, becoming a trending topic among local and central government authorities and coastal communities. There were many inaccuracies about the cause of this phenomenon. This study aimed to identify the causes of local coral bleaching in Manjuto Beach based on oceanographic perspectives. The water quality data collected using TOA DKK water quality checker in the surrounding Manjuto Beach were assessed descriptive-statistically. This study also analyzed the spatial changes of the coastline using DSASv5. A time series of tidal data was also used to analyze the tidal range-induced salinity stratification. A flow model with a flexible mesh was also simulated to determine the water mass movement and longshore current patterns in Manjuto Beach. Dissolved oxygen (DO), temperature, and salinity showed anomalies compared to the water quality standard to support marine life. During both flood and ebb tides, it ranged from 5.8-11.2 mg/L, 28-28.3oC, and 25-28 o/oo, respectively. The other parameters measured (pH, conductivity, turbidity, and density) were suitable for marine biota. The findings show that tidal range has a unique influence on salinity stratification. The intrusion of groundwater supply resulted in lowering of salinity, inducing local coral bleaching in Manjuto Beach. Changes in salinity levels were also triggered by tidal current ranging from 0-0.31 m/s resulting in cumulative salinity shock. Currently, Manjuto Beach is experiencing accretion ranging from 2.36-3.17 m/year, altering the water coverage through the flood-ebb cycles. Those states cause cumulative sun rays' exposures and salinity shock induced by flood-ebb cycles. That is why local coral bleaching event is undoubtedly avoided.
