Abstract

Intensive whiteleg shrimp farming has the potential to degrade water quality through the accumulation of organic matter and nutrients in coastal ecosystems. This study aimed to evaluate differences in water quality between estuarine and marine waters in Bireuen Regency, Aceh, and to associate them with plankton and bacteria as ecological indicators. The research was conducted from July to August 2025 at three estuarine and three marine stations, analyzing physical, chemical, and biological parameters. Results showed that estuarine waters had higher TSS (9–16 mg/L), NH₃ (0.80 mg/L), BOD (4.6–7.1 mg/L), and COD (32–33 mg/L) than marine waters, associated with the presence of Nitzschia spp., Ceratium hirundinella, Brachionus rotundiformis, Aeromonas hydrophila, and Vibrio parahaemolyticus. In marine waters, although DO and salinity were more stable, eutrophication indicators included Noctiluca spp., copepods (Acartia, Oithona), V. alginolyticus, and Photobacterium damselae. These findings indicate that estuaries act as pollution hotspots while marine waters are also affected, emphasizing the need for ecosystem-based management of shrimp aquaculture effluents.

Abstract

Stunting remains a major public health issue in Aceh Province, including Bireuen Regency, which records a prevalence of 26.5%. One of the main contributing factors is the improper provision of complementary feeding (MP-ASI), particularly regarding nutritional composition and the limited use of local food ingredients. This community service program aimed to enhance the capacity of Posyandu cadres in Pante Karya Village to develop locally sourced complementary foods as a strategy to prevent stunting. The methods included education sessions, hands-on MP-ASI preparation training, and post-training mentoring through field visits. The results showed an increase in cadres’ knowledge and skills in designing nutritionally balanced MP-ASI menus, with an average knowledge improvement of 35%. Participants successfully utilized local food ingredients such as fish, tempeh, and vegetables as sources of protein and micronutrients. This program demonstrates that participatory and practical-based training effectively improves cadre capacity and contributes to sustainable stunting prevention efforts at the community level.
