Abstract

Mules Island and its surroundings are included in the Savu Sea National Park (TNP) area and administratively included in the Manggarai Regency, East Nusa Tenggara Province (NTT). The waters of the area have a high potential for coral reef ecosystem resources and are important support for the marine life. However, the current condition of anthropogenic pressure continues to increase due to an increase in the number of people living on the coast and small islands. One of the pressures that are currently a big issue is the existence of marine debris, where studies related to its impact and distribution on coral reef ecosystems are still very few. The purpose of this study was to determine the distribution and types of marine debris in the coral reef ecosystem on Nucamolas Island and its surroundings. Observations were made on 1-3 November 2021 at 12 stations. The research method used is the belt transect method with an area of 500 m2. Data collection was assisted by SCUBA diving equipment at a depth of 5-7 m on the coral reef flat. The results of this study found that the dominant marine debris in the coral reef ecosystem was organic waste (64.3%) and a group of macro debris (71,4%). Based on the type, the dominant species found were logs (37%), which physically damaged the coral, especially when currents and waves were moving. The distribution of marine debris at the study site was only found at 8 stations while the other 4 were not found.

Abstract

The area of mangrove ecosystems in West Nusa Tenggara Province continues to decline each year. One of the threatening factors that substantially contribute to such condition is socioeconomic activities of human beings in fulfilling their needs. An effort that can be made primarily to preserve the mangrove ecosystem is to quantify the economic value of environmental services provided by the mangrove ecosystem as a whole, so that the existence and sustainability of the mangrove ecosystem could be maintained. This research aims to calculate the total economic value of mangrove ecosystem services which indicate the four categories of ecosystem services including supporting services, provisioning services, regulatory services and cultural services. The research was carried out using a survey method by collecting data and information from location of this study to obtain actual data regarding the existence of the mangrove ecosystem. The results of the analysis show that the total economic value of mangrove ecosystem environmental services is 963,888,060/year. This value is divided into provider services (supply services) amounting to Rp. 153,002,250, regulatory services (arrangement services) Rp. 598,339,702, supporting services (support services) Rp. 2,243,250, and cultural services (cultural services) Rp. 210,308,857. The magnitude of the total economic value of mangrove ecosystem environmental services can be a reference for the government in determining compensation for services if there is degradation to mangrove ecosystem resources in the area.

Abstract

Indonesia possesses approximately 51,000 km² of coral reef ecosystems, yet their condition continues to decline due to both human activities and natural factors. One affected area is the Gili Matra Marine Tourism Park (TWP), particularly the Gili Air dive sites, where significant coral reef degradation has been observed. This study aims to determine the percentage of coral lifeforms and assess the accuracy of Sentinel-2A satellite imagery in mapping coral reefs in the area. Field data were collected using the Underwater Photo Transect (UPT) method and analyzed with CPCe software. Sentinel-2A imagery was processed through sunglint correction water column correction and unsupervised classification using ENVI 5.3 and ArcGIS 10.8. The results show coral reef conditions in Gili Air range from moderate to poor, with the highest live coral cover at Air Slove and the lowest at Hans Reef. A total of eleven coral lifeform types were identified. Image classification produced four benthic habitat classes with an overall accuracy of 60.5% and a Kappa index of 18.3%, meeting the minimum standard set by the Indonesian National Standard The study demonstrates that integrating UPT data and Sentinel-2A imagery is effective for mapping coral reefs, although higher-resolution imagery is recommended for better substrate differentiation.
