Abstract

The Mandalika Specific Economic Zone (SEZ) is a potential tourism industry for the province of West Nusa Tenggara, which has recently received very high attention due to the construction of the international MotoGP circuit. The construction of the MotoGP circuit has become an attraction for domestic and foreign tourists and has increased the number of tourists. The increase in tourism activity has negatively impacted the Mandalika SEZ's coastal waters, such as a decrease in water quality, including the water of Siwak Bay. Water quality monitoring can be done by using phytoplankton as a bioindicator. The study of phytoplankton species diversity as a bioindicator of water quality has never been carried out in the Siwak Bay waters. This research was conducted to analyze the status of Siwak Bay waters based on the phytoplankton diversity index. Samplings were carried out based on a purposive sampling method. This research was conducted for three months, from March to June 2023. The study found seven classes, 59 genera, and 127 phytoplankton species. The abundance of phytoplankton in Siwak Bay was 1025,185 ind/L. The highest abundance was the genus of Trichodesmium. The species diversity index was 3,33. Based on the species diversity index, it can be said that the waters of Siwak Bay are not polluted.

Abstract

Microplastics (MPs) have become an interesting topic of discussion especially after many studies reported their presence in aquatic ecosystems. Pollution by microplastic particles in aquatic systems is a critical issue the world that has the potential to damage aquatic ecosystems. Therefore, this study aims to identify the abundance and characteristics of MPs in water, sediment and seagrass in tourist areas. Samples were obtained from three location categories, first the port, second the hotel area and third the residential area located in the Gili Trawangan tourist area, Lombok, Indonesia. After optimization of extraction, characterization was carried out using a stereo microscope to identify MPs. The results show that the average abundance of MPs in the three location categories is, 13.25 ± 17.21; 19.25 ± 23.30; and 16.50 ± 18.52 particles/L at water, 22.00 ± 30.84; 20.00 ± 30.80; and 6.00 ± 8.49 particles/kg dry weight (dry weight) sediment, and 17.50 ± 15.69; 16.25 ± 22.56; and 8.25 ± 8.46 particles/individual at seaweed. Then from this abundance, the types of MPs were found in the form of fragments, fibers, films and pellets, where the dominant colors are black, yellow, blue, red and green, with the highest size < 500 µm. From this study it is necessary to see the impact of MPs on seaweed and the aquatic environment around Gili Trawangan.
