Abstract

This study aimed to examine the community structure of Trichoptera larvae in the Bone River, Gorontalo (Indonesia), by evaluating family-level composition, dominance patterns, and spatial variation across five sampling stations (St.1-St.5). Trichoptera larvae were collected using standardized sampling methods, identified to the family level, and analyzed using multiple diversity metrics, including the Shannon, Simpson, Evenness, and Margalef indices. Differences in taxon richness among stations were assessed using rarefaction analysis, while community structure patterns were further explored using multivariate approaches based on Bray–Curtis dissimilarity, non-metric multidimensional scaling (NMDS), and hierarchical cluster analysis. A total of 754 individuals representing eight families were identified. Hydropsychidae strongly dominated the community, accounting for more than 70% of the total individuals. Diversity indices revealed spatial variation in community balance, with Station 5 exhibiting the highest diversity and evenness values, indicating a relatively more balanced community structure. Rarefaction analysis suggested that differences in richness were not solely driven by sampling effort. Multivariate analyses based on Bray-Curtis dissimilarity, hierarchical clustering, and NMDS demonstrated spatial differentiation in community composition along the river gradient, largely associated with variations in family dominance. Water quality parameters (temperature, pH, and dissolved oxygen) were within national quality standards, indicating conditions generally supportive of aquatic life. The observed variation in community structure therefore likely reflects local habitat dynamics rather than broad physicochemical stress. This study provides baseline data on Trichoptera communities in the Bone River and highlights the ecological importance of Hydropsychidae in shaping community structure, supporting the potential application of Trichoptera as biomonitoring indicators in riverine ecosystems.  Keywords: Trichoptera, River, Community Structure, Spatial Variation, Biomonitoring

Abstract

Dulanga Beach in Bongo Village, Gorontalo Regency, holds considerable coastal tourism potential but has not been developed optimally. This study assessed the tourism suitability index and carrying capacity of Dulanga Beach as a basis for sustainable tourism development. A field survey was conducted at three stations, measuring ten beach tourism suitability parameters: water depth, beach type, beach width, bottom substrate, current velocity, beach slope, water clarity, coastal land cover, dangerous biota, and freshwater availability. Data were analysed using a weighted coastal tourism suitability index following Yulianda (2019). Dulanga Beach was classified as highly suitable (S1) for coastal tourism, with station suitability indices of 2.75–2.83 (all TSI ≥ 2.5). The utilizable beach length was 377.77 m, with a maximum carrying capacity of 30 persons per day. These results indicate that Dulanga Beach has strong potential for sustainable coastal tourism development, with physical characteristics that support beach recreation activities

Abstract

The capture fisheries sector plays an important role in the economy of coastal communities, but the welfare of fishermen remains vulnerable due to income fluctuations and limited household financial management. This study aims to analyze the relationship between income and savings ratio with the welfare level of fishermen in the coastal area of Gorontalo Bay. The study uses a quantitative approach with a survey method of 111 fishermen selected using the Slovin formula with a 10 percent error rate. Data were collected through structured interviews using questionnaires, then analyzed descriptively and through Spearman's correlation test. The results show that most fishermen have an income ≥ Gorontalo City minimum wage, but the majority do not have savings. The general welfare level of fishermen is in the high category based on indicators from the Central Statistics Agency. The correlation test showed that income had a positive and significant relationship with welfare (correlation coefficient of 0.486; significance of 0.000), while the savings ratio showed a positive but insignificant relationship (correlation coefficient of 0.149; significance of 0.120), indicating that savings did not yet reflect the welfare of fishermen's households in real terms. These findings confirm that the welfare of fishermen is more closely related to income than to savings.

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis hubungan antara pemanfaatan aset perikanan dengan tingkat pendapatan nelayan di Teluk Gorontalo. Pemanfaatan aset dalam penelitian ini didefinisikan sebagai kepemilikan dan penggunaan aset fisik serta teknologi penangkapan, yang mencakup kapal, alat tangkap, cool box, dan GPS. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan metode survei terhadap 111 nelayan yang dipilih secara purposive sampling. Data dikumpulkan melalui kuesioner dan wawancara, kemudian dianalisis menggunakan statistik deskriptif dan uji korelasi Pearson. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa alat tangkap yang paling banyak digunakan adalah pancing ulur (56%), dan sebagian besar nelayan telah memanfaatkan cool box (80%), sementara penggunaan GPS masih relatif rendah (29%). Sebanyak 54% nelayan memiliki pendapatan setara atau di atas Upah Minimum Regional (UMR). Hasil uji korelasi Pearson menunjukkan adanya hubungan positif dan signifikan antara pemanfaatan aset perikanan dan tingkat pendapatan nelayan dengan nilai koefisien korelasi sebesar 0,486 (p < 0,05) yang berada pada kategori sedang. Temuan ini mengindikasikan bahwa peningkatan pemanfaatan aset cenderung diikuti oleh peningkatan pendapatan, meskipun terdapat faktor eksternal lain yang turut memengaruhinya.

Abstract

Coastal areas are essential for economic activities but are also vulnerable to environmental changes caused by human activities. Remote sensing technology can help monitor shoreline changes efficiently and accurately related to the spatial-temporal dynamics of the local area's coastline, which is needed to develop an effective coastal management strategy. By using the Modified Normalized Difference Water Index (MNDWI) water index method for shoreline extraction, the results show that the addition of coastal areas (accretion) as part of the dominant process for coastal equilibrium in almost all coastal regions in Gorontalo City during the 2000-2022 period, experienced trend acceleration significantly during the 2015-2022 period with an increase in the accretion rate of 60.15%. The accretion rate in this period has resulted in an increase in the land area of the coastal zone by 425.44% compared to the accretion that occurred during the 2000-2015 period. The findings of this study can be used as a basis for further research regarding the impact of human activities on coastal ecosystems and the effectiveness of coastal management strategies for Gorontalo City.Keywords: Google earth engine; coastal equilibrium; landsat; sentinel-2; MNDWI

Abstract

The Bone River faces potential pollution due to human activities in the surrounding area. To ensure this, macrozoobenthic is used as a bioindicator, utilizing the characteristics of its constituent communities, which show sedentary behaviour, limited mobility, and sensitivity to water conditions. This research aims to examine the composition of the macrozoobenthic community which reflects the water quality of the Bone River. The research was conducted from May to August 2023 at three observation stations. Water quality evaluation used the Hilsenhoff Family Biotic Index (FBI) methodology. The findings revealed a collection of 1,040 individuals representing 43 macrozoobenthic genera, with Trichoptera, Ephemeroptera, and Diptera widely distributed along the river. A dominance index of 0.2 indicates that there is not a single macrozoobenthic species that dominates, while an FBI value ranging from 3.71 to 5.47 indicates that there is pollution in the Bone River.Keywords: Bioindicator; Family Biotic Index; Macrozoobenthic; River; Water quality
