Abstract

Plastic waste poses a significant threat to the global environment, particularly in coastal and marine ecosystems. Among its various forms, mesoplastics, measuring between 5 and 25 mm have attracted considerable attention. This study aims to identify and analyze the types, weights, quantities, compositions, and densities of mesoplastics found along Manggar Beach, a tourist destination in Balikpapan City, East Kalimantan. Sampling was conducted in two periods: April (Period I) and August (Period II) of 2022. A purposive sampling method was applied using a 100-meter transect line divided into 5x5 meter lanes, followed by the placement of 1x1 meter quadrats. In Period I, four types of mesoplastics were identified as film, fiber, fragments, and styrofoam, while only film was detected in Period II. A total of 43 mesoplastic particles (weighing 9.45 grams) were recorded in Period I, compared to just 5 particles (0.15 grams) in Period II. By weight, styrofoam made up the largest proportion (49%) in Period I, whereas film accounted for 100% in Period II. The average mesoplastic density observed in this study was 0.38 particles per square meter.

Abstract

Mangrove (bakau) is one of the coastal plants that might function socially, ecologically and economically. One of the coastal areas of East Kalimantan that has experienced damage due to human activities is in Bontang City, specifically Telok Bangko. Therefore, planting bakau seedlings is one of the efforts to maintain the bakau ecosystem in the coastal areas of Bontang City. The purpose of this community service activity is to increase knowledge and understanding of the importance of mangrove in coastal areas by planting mangrove seedlings. This community service activity was carried out on September 29, 2024 in the Telok Bangko mangrove tourism area, Bontang City. The method used in this activity was lecture and followed by direct practice in the field. The results of this activity were 500 mangrove seedlings (Rizophora mucronata) were planted at the location of the activity by students and academics of Mulawarman University. The results of this activity could increase knowledge and understanding for each participant in determining the right planting location, type, how to plant mangroves and evaluate activities. This activity is also expected to benefit the community both economically and ecologically in the Telok Bangko mangrove area. The process of evaluating activities must be carried out to support the success of this activity, such as maintenance, periodic data collection (monitoring) of mangrove seedlings (% survival rate) that have been planted by participants.Mangrove (bakau) merupakan salah satu tumbuhan pesisir yang dapat berfungsi secara sosial, ekologi dan ekonomi.

Abstract

Formalin is a chemical compound that is often added to fish and seafood. When formalin exposure enters the human body, it is very dangerous for human health. The purpose of this study was to detect the formalin content in fish and seafood samples from several local markets in the city of Samarinda. The research method was descriptive observational on 149 test samples of fish and seafood salted. Detection of formalin content in fish and seafood was detected by the rapid test kit. When the test sample changed to red and purple color, the sample was indicated to be positive for formalin. It was found that 10 out of 13 fish samples and 4 out of 4 seafood samples were positive for formaldehyde. The types of fish and seafood containing formalin in this study were layang, sarden, teri, baronang, pedak, haruan laut, kepala batu, kaca-kaca, tenggiri, hiu, cumi, udang ebi, udang papay and baby cumi. This study suggests that consumers should be more careful to buy fish and seafood that contain formaldehyde.

Abstract

Education is one indicator of a country's progress, because it has improved the quality of human resources. One of the Educational activities in the university is joint practicums to improve students' understanding of critical thinking patterns and values. The purpose of this practicum was to examine and analyze the ability of essential patterns of thinking, level of understanding of theory and method, and student learning outcomes as well in the study programme of Marine Science, Mulawarman University. Practicum activities were conducted in Malahing village, Bontang City in November 2022. A total of 52 students took part in the activities. All data in this activity were collected from initial critical thinking skills tests (pre-test) and after (post-test), score from practicum’s report, and participants' perceptual responses in the form of online questionnaires. It was found that the student's critical thinking skills in this activity were in the moderate category based on N-Gains score (0,46). In General, the percentage of understanding and student learning outcomes was in good category (71-84). Based on the student responses, about 92.3% of students were enthusiastic and happy with the practicum learning method. Thus, joint practicum activities might influence increasing student understanding and grades.

Abstract

Human activities in the Somber River area of Balikpapan, such as settlements, industry, shipping, and fisheries, have the potential to cause cadmium (Cd) contamination, threatening the mangrove ecosystem and aquatic biota. This study aimed to determine the concentration and contamination level of Cd in the sediments of the Somber River, Balikpapan. Sediment samples were systematically collected from four stations representing different anthropogenic influences, using a hand corer (50 cm depth). Cadmium concentration was analyzed using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry (AAS) following acid digestion. It was found that the Cd concentrations ranged from 0.04 to 1.01 µg/g, with an average of 0.37 ± 0.29 µg/g dry weight. All values were below the national sediment quality guideline. The accumulation of Cd showed an increasing trend with greater sediment depth. The calculated Contamination Factor (CF) indicated low to moderate contamination levels at all stations. Overall, the sources of Cd along the Somber River originate from both natural processes and anthropogenic activities from the land.

Abstract

This study evaluates the performance of Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) and Least Squares (LS) methods in tidal analysis across four strategic locations representing Indonesia's diverse tidal regimes: Belitung, Bontang, Melonguane, and Natuna. Eight principal tidal components (O1, K1, M2, S2, N2, K2, P1, Q1) were analyzed. The results demonstrate that the Least Squares method is significantly superior, achieving an RMSE reduction of 79.2% to 94.0% compared to FFT. While tidal classifications based on Formzahl numbers remained consistent across both methods—identifying diurnal types in Belitung and mixed-prevailing semidiurnal types elsewhere—the LS method provided more precise harmonic constants. These findings recommend the LS method for high-accuracy operational tidal modeling and sea-level prediction in Indonesian waters.

Abstract

Macrozoobenthos serves as a sensitive bioindicator for changes in aquatic environmental conditions, particularly in coastal areas vulnerable to anthropogenic pressures. This study aims to identify species composition and analyze the abundance of macrozoobenthos in the Summer Beach area, Muara Badak, Kutai Kartanegara Regency. Sampling was conducted from January to April 2024 at three stations using the line transect and quadrat plot method. The results identified 14 macrozoobenthos species belonging to 10 genera from the class Gastropoda (Babylonia formosae, Eunaticina albosutura, Murex tribulus, Telescopium telescopium, Indothais blanfordi, Cerithidea cingulata, Turritella terebra, Brunneifusus ternatanus, Nassarius olivaceus, Olivella biplicata) and 4 genera from the class Bivalvia (Tegillarca granosa, Geloina expansa, Heteranomia squamula, Chamelea gallina). Ecological index analysis showed moderate diversity (H’), high evenness (E), and low dominance (C) values at all stations. Correlation analysis revealed a strong relationship between phosphate concentration and macrozoobenthos abundance, while the relationship with nitrate was very weak. These findings indicate that phosphate is a key parameter influencing the macrozoobenthos community structure at the study site.
