Abstract

This research examines the intricacies of forest and critical land rehabilitation planning within river watershed areas. Through a multidisciplinary approach integrating ecological assessments, socio-economic analysis, and stakeholder engagement, the study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of existing rehabilitation efforts and propose strategies for enhancing ecosystem resilience, biodiversity conservation, and sustainable development. The analysis reveals significant patterns of forest degradation, critical land erosion, and habitat loss within river watershed areas, driven by socio-economic factors, unsustainable land use practices, and institutional constraints. Despite these challenges, existing rehabilitation efforts have shown promising outcomes in terms of ecosystem health improvement, water quality enhancement, and socio-economic benefits to local communities. Moving forward, addressing these challenges requires integrated approaches that prioritize ecosystem-based solutions, stakeholder collaboration, and adaptive management strategies. Policy integration and coherence between forest and watershed management sectors are essential for promoting synergies and maximizing co-benefits across different policy domains. Moreover, targeted conservation strategies, sustainable land use practices, and governance mechanisms are critical for addressing socio-economic drivers of degradation and promoting inclusive decision-making processes.

Abstract

Semujur Island, located in Kebintik Village, Pangkalan Baru Subdistrict, Central Bangka Regency, covers an area of approximately 40 hectares and is home to 47 households, the majority of whom are fishermen. The island is known as a center for fishing activities and grouper cultivation and has potential for marine tourism through its diverse coral reefs and reef fish. This study aimed to analyze changes in coral reef area using Sentinel-2A satellite imagery and to assess the influence of sea surface temperature on these changes. Ground truth data were collected in March 2023, consisting of 60 samples classified into four categories: coral reef, dead coral, seagrass, and sand. Image analysis included sunglint correction, water column correction, and supervised classification using the Maximum Likelihood Classifier method. The results indicated a decrease in coral reef area from 104.61 hectares in 2016 to 99.91 hectares in 2023, representing a reduction of approximately 4.5%. Analysis of sea surface temperature data showed an increasing trend, contributing to coral reef degradation. These findings highlight the urgent need for sustainable management efforts to protect the coral reef ecosystem of Semujur Island.
