Abstract

Seagrass plays an important role in aquatic resources, such as to support the sustainable management of small-scale fisheries, ensuring the availability of seagrass stocks for generations of local communities to cultivate in a sustainable manner. The purpose of this study is to provide information on the seagrass health status to support sustainable small-scale fisheries in the South Misool Regional Waters Conservation Areas which is located within the Raja Ampat Marine Protected Area of  West Papua. The research was conducted in January 2019 in the Yefgag, Yellu and Harapan Jaya island. A total of ten quadratic transects measuring 1x1 m were laid perpendicularly to the coastline adapted from the seagrass watch method to collect the seagrass data, i.e. the species and the frequency of seagrass found, the dominance and the percentage of seagrass cover. Additional data on fish species were collected by interviewing the local fishermen directly. The relationship between seagrass cover and the number of fish species was analyzed. Th results showed that there were eight species of seagrass found in three observation stations, i.e. Halophila ovalis, Halodule uninervis, Halodule pinifolia, Halophila minor, Syringodium isoetifolium, Cymodocea serrulata, Cymodocea rotundata and Enhalus acoroides. According to the standard criteria for the health status of seagrass beds, the three locations are classified as less rich/less healthy. It because the seagrass coverage was in the range of 30-59%. The relationship between the percentage of seagrass cover and the number of fish species resulted equation of  Y = 15,923x + 0,3174 with R2 = 0,763. It means that the percentage of seagrass cover affects the abundance of fish species by 76,3% with the remaining being influenced by other variables, such as water quality.

Abstract

Marine tourism is a type of special interest tourism, namely by managing and utilizing marine and coastal landscapes, both those that are managed directly such as swimming, boating, snorkeling, diving, or indirectly such as picnics and beach sports. Nusmapi Island has the potential to be developed as a marine tourism object which has the potential for waters and coral reefs that are in good condition. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between the level of public perception and the socio-economic conditions of the local community on Nusmapi Island. In October-November 2020 this research was carried out on Nusmapi Island, Manokwari Regency. The descriptive exploratory method is by conducting a survey to the research location. The data collected were analyzed descriptively by tabulating and displayed in the form of pictures, tables, and graphs to provide an explanation of the information obtained in this study. The relationship between the level of perception and socio-economic and cultural aspects of society was analyzed by multiple regression. The variables of age, gender, education, main occupation, and additional work were positively correlated with community perception, while length of stay and ethnic origin were negatively correlated with perceived level. The correlation value between the 7 independent variables (X1-X7) and the dependent variable (Y) is 0.839 which is included in the very strong category. The value of the coefficient of determination 61% explains the variables in the resulting regression model, the remaining 39% is influenced by other factors outside the model. Age is a significant social variable on people's perceptions of the development of marine tourism on Nusmapi Island. The community as the main component in development has an important role in developing local potential that comes from nature, socio-culture or improving the community's economy through the development of marine tourism.
