Abstract

Rote Island and its surroundings are included in the Savu Sea Marine National Park (TNP) area and are administratively included in the Rote Ndao Regency, East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) Province. The waters of the area have high potential for coral reef ecosystem resources and are an important for the marine biota. But when the condition is under pressure due to anthropogenic and natural influences. Therefore it is necessary to carry out routine observations related to the condition of the community structure and its potenstial natural recruitment. Observations were made on 26-28 September 2021 at 12 observation stations. The observation method used was the belt transect method with 3 repetitions (20 m) with an area of 60 m2. Data collection using SCUBA equipment at a depth of 5-7 m on the reef flat. The results of the study found a total of 37 hard coral genera and the highest species richness was in Daiama 2 (30 genera) and the lowest was in Oelua and metina (13 genera). The dominant hard coral genera found were the Porites genera. Furthermore, the potential for natural recruitment of hard coral tillers reaches 21%. The highest potential for natural recovery is at Sotimori 1 (station 3) and the lowest at Boni (station 12). In general, the hard coral community structure at the observation site is in a stable condition with good natural recruitment potential.

Abstract

Coral reef ecosystem is an ecosystem that plays a vital role as spawning floor, feeding floor and nursery ground for marine biota. This study aims to determine the survival and in growth rate of Acropora sp and Porites sp sp corals transplanted using frame media. This research was done in Kecinan Coastal Waters, Malaka Village, Pamenang District, North Lombok Regency. West Nusa Tenggara. The method used in this study an experimental method with 2 month observation, which repeated in every 2 weeks. Coral growth rate is observed twice, at the beginning of coral planting and at the end of the observation. The frame media used were 4 units a size of 1 x 1 m2, which placed 30 coral fragments each. So the total number of coral fragments observed was 120 in the media frame at the same depth. Acropora sp corals that were able to survive until the end of the study reached 96.67% while Porites sp sp corals reached 86.67%. The growth rate of Acropora sp was obtained at a value of 0.51 cm/month, while for Porites sp sp was 0.37 cm/month. The two transplanted corals had different growth forms so that they had different growth rate values. Acropora sp coral had a branching growth form with a hollow and porous limestone structure while Porites sp sp had a massive growth form with a denser and harder limestone skeletal structure.

Abstract

The coral reef ecosystem in Indonesia boasts the highest biodiversity and serves as the center of the Coral Triangle's diversity. Despite its richness, Indonesia's coral reefs face increasing threats from various factors, primarily anthropogenic. Regular biophysical surveys of coral reef ecosystems are therefore necessary to monitor their current conditions and guide management efforts. This study aimed to assess the condition of coral reefs by examining the percentage of coral cover in the Gili Balu Marine Conservation Area, Sumbawa NTB. The research was conducted in January, 2022, using the Point Intercept Transect (PIT) method at 10 observation points. The transects measured 50 meters in length and were repeated three times at each location. The results indicated that the coral reefs were in good condition at the South Belang Island Station (57%) and West Pasareang Island (69.67%), according to Kepmen LH No. 4/2001. However, moderately damaged reefs were observed at North Belang Station (38%), Kenawa Island (30%), East Belang Island (30%), and Mandiki Island (28.67%). Coral reefs classified as severely damaged were found at Southwest Namo Island Station (17.33%), North Pasareang (16.67%), South Kalong (11%), and North Namo (9.67%). Overall, the dominant condition of coral reefs in the Gili Balu Conservation Area was categorized as moderately to severely damaged. Conservation efforts, including protection in areas with good conditions and rehabilitation in damaged areas, are recommended as follow-up actions to support coral reef sustainability in Gili Balu.
