Abstract

Most of coastal waters of West Sumbawa are wave-exposed areas. As part of Alas Strait this region is located between Lombok and Sumbawa Island. On the land and coastal areas, mineral mining (i.e. gold) activities are operated massively by large private company (i.e. PT. Newmont Nusa Tenggara) and traditional mining by local communities. These activities (especially for traditional mining) are expected to increase the content of heavy metals in the marine and coastal waters surrounding. A residual of mining processing will produce heavy metals disposal. In this study, the distributions of heavy metals (i.e. Hg, Cr6+, Cu, As, Ni, Zn, Pb, and Cd) were measured in the water column and bed sediments of coastal waters of West Sumbawa. This study was conducted during dry season in July 2011. The results show the heavy metal concentrations in water column were mainly within the permissible limits (based on Keputusan Menteri Lingkungan Hidup No. 51, 2004). Except for Cu, the concentration was highest found on most of the stations. The heavy metal contents in bed sediment were low, but varied among sampling points. Furthermore, Cu content in bed sediment also found remarkably high (101,7 mg/Kg) with additionally Zn content was closed (10,6–105,5 mg/Kg) within the permissible limits (based on criteria by Australian and New Zealand Environment and Conservation Council – ANZECC, 2000).

Abstract

West Sumbawa regency located in West Nusa Tenggara Province is potential areas for seaweed cultivation like Euchema cottonii. Currently, the center of seaweed farming activities located in the Gulf of Kertasari and Poto Tano. Market demand for commodities of E. cottonii tends to be increase, and therefore new areas of cultivation are required to be developed, through a study of physics, chemistry and biology of marine aspect is needed to assess the farming area suitability.The methodto determine the suitabilityarea is using GIS (Geographical Information System) analysis. The resultshowed thatPoto Tano District has 805 ha of suitable area for cultivation. While, Taliwang and Jereweh District consist of the area about 70 ha and 86 ha. Total land suitable for the cultivation of seaweed approximately 961 ha.

Abstract

Marine fish community is very sensitive to environmental changes. So the number of species, abundance, and biodiversity index can be used as a reference to assess the quality of the aquatic environment. The aim of this study was to describe fish biodiversity in Belitung Timur, Bangka Belitung Islands, Indonesia. Three islands were visited i.e. Pekandis Island, and Keran Island, Gosong Semut (Gosong refers to sandbar) for reef fish survey and for the economical fish study we also visited fisheries landing sites (i.e. Teluk Pering, Tanjung Batu Pulas, and Pantai Burung Mandi). The underwater visual census was used for in situ surveys of reef fish, and the fish species landed in fisheries landing site also been checked. Forty-two families of economical fish that had been landed by local fishermen were identified, and ten families of reef fish were found in reef systems of research location. A total of 10 families were recorded from three islands in Belitung Timur Regency. In addition, 42 families of commercial fish were also observed in fish landing sites from the coastline of Belitung Timur Regency, Bangka Belitung Islands.
