Abstract

Nirwana Beach is one of the leading coastal tourism destinations in Padang City, offering significant potential for development as an educational and sustainable tourism area. However, the management of this area still faces various challenges, such as low community participation, limited environmental education facilities, and the lack of integration of conservation programs into tourism activities. This study aims to analyze conservation and environmental education strategies at Nirwana Beach to support sustainable coastal area management. The study was conducted using a quantitative approach using questionnaires with 100 respondents, supported by field observations and interviews with key informants. Data were analyzed descriptively and then followed by a SWOT analysis approach. The results showed that tourist awareness and concern for the environment were high (score >4.0), but educational facilities and community involvement were still limited. The SWOT analysis resulted in a total score of strengths (1.30), weaknesses (0.35), opportunities (1.22), and threats (0.52), placing conservation and education strategies in Quadrant I (aggressive strategies). The main recommended strategies include developing educational programs based on direct experience, providing environmental information facilities, involving local communities, and promoting the area as an environmentally friendly tourism destination. With its dominant potential strengths and opportunities, this area needs to be managed through multi-stakeholder synergy to create a tourist destination that is not only economically attractive, but also contributes to environmental conservation and public education

Abstract

Ectoparasites pose a significant threat to the health and productivity of vaname shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) in aquaculture settings, particularly in tropical regions. This study aimed to assess the prevalence, intensity, and dominance of ectoparasites in vaname shrimp ponds in Padang Pariaman, West Sumatra. This study was conducted from March to May 2024 in vaname shrimp ponds in Padang Pariaman, West Sumatra. Sampling was carried out at five different pond stations, and water quality assessments were carried out. Ectoparasites were identified, and their prevalence, intensity, and dominance were measured. Station II had the highest prevalence (100%), intensity (69 ind/shrimp), and dominance of ectoparasites from all other observation stations. The dominant types of ectoparasites were Epystylis sp. (37.81%), Zootamnium sp. (18.65%), and Vorticella sp. (20.64%). Water quality at five Vaname shrimp pond stations showed significant variations, especially in pH, COD, and ammonia parameters, with some values exceeding the quality standard. Station V was identified as the most critical location with the highest COD (90.08 mg/l) and ammonia (0.188 mg/l) values and pH below the optimal threshold. It is important to implement better pond management strategies to improve shrimp health and productivity while minimizing the ectoparasites on aquaculture systems in tropical regions.Keywords:Vaname shrimpEctoparasitesAquaculture managementWater quality

Abstract

Indonesia's coastal areas boast high biodiversity, yet their communities still face economic constraints. Turtle conservation has the potential not only as a conservation effort but also as a basis for economic empowerment of coastal communities. This study aims to identify forms of community involvement in turtle conservation that impact economic welfare; and to develop strategies for economic empowerment of coastal communities based on turtle conservation through a participatory and collaborative approach. The study was conducted in Apar Village, Pariaman City, using exploratory descriptive quantitative methods using SWOT analysis. Data were collected through questionnaires, interviews, and documentation. The results indicate active community involvement in conservation activities such as nest monitoring, hatchling releases, tourism education, and souvenir production, which have begun to have positive economic impacts. The SWOT analysis indicates the strategy's position in the Strength–Opportunity (SO) quadrant with a difference score of +1.79 (internal) and +1.58 (external). This indicates that community strengths can be utilized to seize opportunities for conservation-based economic development. Suggested strategies include integrated ecotourism development, entrepreneurship training, strengthening local institutions, and cross-stakeholder collaboration. This study concludes that turtle conservation in Apar Village has dual potential as an instrument for environmental conservation and a driver of the local economy in a sustainable manner.
