Abstract

The Keunekai waters around Weh Island, Indonesia, have become a prone coastal area because of degradation from climate anomalies and anthropogenic pressure. The high level of coral mortality caused by mass bleaching and fish bombing several years ago may have led to the deterioration of the water conditions and the disruption of the biogeo-chemical cycle, resulting in potential nutrient enrichment and algae blooms (eutrophication). This study aimed to de-termine the influence of nutrient ratios on phytoplankton abundance and monitor the existing waterconditions aroundKeunekai. Spectrophotometry analysis was used to determine the concentrations of the nutrients, and the Sedgewick-Rafter counting method was used to identify the species and abundance of the phytoplankton. A large variation in N content (ranging from 1.1 to 1.6 mg N/L) and, particularly, P content (ranging from 0.02 to 0.18 mg P/L) most likely reflected differences in the supply ratios of N and P, rather than differences in absolute N and P availability. Three taxa of phytoplankton and their relative abundance were identified in the study area: Bacillariophyceae (diatom) (72%), Cyanophyceae (3%), and Dinoflagellate (25%). It was found that P-limitation mostly controls potential algae blooms, which support the density of Dinoflagellates thatmay endanger the water.

Abstract

[Land Suitability Modeling for Fishery Resource Enhancement in the Padang Pariaman Regency, West Sumatera, Indonesia: GIS and Multi-Criteria Evaluation Approaches] Land suitability analysis is required for successful aquaculture planning. Due to the geographical setting of the Padang Pariaman Regency, aquaculture development is likely hindered by the vulnerable coastal area. Suitability assessment of aquaculture projects is crucial to specify the best method espousing sustainable development in the study area. This study aims to select the most proper location to be developed as a center of shrimp aquaculture in the Padang Pariaman Regency. This study employed the multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM), and analytical hierarchy process (AHP) approaches. This study combined the GIS-based analysis, AHP, and MCDM to yield the most proper location for aquaculture development. The three sub-models (engineering, water quality, and infrastructure) are overlaid using the weighted linear combination (WLC) technique. The infrastructure sub-model resulted in the highest coverage of highly suitable criteria with 61.74%. By contrast, the highest percentage of the unsuitable category was found in the water quality sub-model with 17.67%. Of particular concern, 87.5 % of the study area is suitable for aquaculture development. The remaining region is categorized as highly suitable with 11.93%, found in the eastern Padang Pariaman. Thus, we conclude that developing shrimp aquaculture in the study area is possible. Still, the future environmental impacts should be considered beforehand.

Abstract

Pollution in the ocean caused by anthropogenic activities has been a global issue. However, data on marine debris in Aceh Waters is limited. This study was conducted to identify the category, density, and source of marine debris on the Weh Island and Aceh Island beaches during the first monsoon transition period. Samples were collected in April 2022 at four stations, namely Laweung Beach in Sumatra Island (station 1), Aron Beach in Weh Island (Station 2), Nipah Beach and Alue Riyeung Beach in Aceh Island (Station 3 and Station 4, respectively). Samples collected in a 100 m-length transect were classified into nine categories: plastic, foamed plastic, cloth, glass and ceramic, metal, paper and cupboard, rubber, wood, and others. The result depicted that the highest density was plastic (0.602-1.022 items/m2), followed by foamed plastic (0.038 to 0.654 items/m2) and rubber (0.020 to 0.089 items/m2). Turning to its appliances, plastic was mostly used as packaging, such as bottles and cups for drinking water, while foamed plastic and rubber were used for cooling boxes and footwear. As the sea current shifted during the monsoon transition period, trash from ships passing the marine routes around the Aceh Waters is assumed to be transporting debris from various countries, such as Malaysia, Thailand, and China.
