Abstract

Background: Bontosua Island, located in the Spermonde Archipelago, is one of the strategic and historical islands in the region. The island plays a vital role in ecosystem conservation efforts by the local community, who are committed to preserving their natural environment. With dynamic ecosystem conditions, it is essential to understand the seabed cover and biodiversity on the island to support more effective conservation efforts. Methods: This study was conducted from March to September 2022 to mark the seabed cover of Bontosua Island and understand the relationships between coral reef fish species and the ecosystem. The method used was a stationary visual census, followed by descriptive analysis and one-way ANOVA to assess the biodiversity and diversity of coral reefs. Findings: The results showed a total of 1,306 coral reef fish from 9 families with 63 species identified, including the families Chaetodontidae, Serranidae, Lutjanidae, Haemulidae, Lethrinidae, Scaridae, Acanthuridae, and Siganidae. The families with the highest citations were Scaridae, Acanthuridae, and Siganidae. The highest coral reef fish were found in the north, west, and southwest of the island, where live coral areas are more dominant. Conclusion: This study shows that Bontosua Island has significant coral reef diversity, and certain areas, such as the north and southwest sides, have higher reported fish. These findings indicate the importance of these areas in conservation efforts. Novelty/Originality of this article: This study provides a comprehensive picture of the seabed cover and coral reef fish diversity in Bontosua Island, which has yet to be widely discussed in previous studies. These findings provide a scientific basis for more targeted conservation strategies and help improve understanding of the dynamics of coral reef ecosystems in the Spermonde Islands

Abstract

Background: The coastal waters of Maros, encompassing ponds, estuaries, and open seas, exhibit diverse environmental conditions influencing primary productivity and phytoplankton abundance. Understanding these variations is crucial for sustainable management of coastal ecosystems and the optimization of aquaculture activities. This study analyzed primary productivity and phytoplankton abundance across three distinct Methods: ecosystems: ponds, estuaries, and seas in the coastal waters of Maros. Sampling was conducted using a stratified approach, measuring key environmental parameters such as nutrient concentrations, salinity, and temperature. Phytoplankton abundance was quantified using microscopy, while primary productivity was assessed through light-dark bottle techniques. Results: The findings revealed significant differences in primary productivity and phytoplankton abundance among the ecosystems. Ponds exhibited the highest primary productivity due to elevated nutrient input from anthropogenic activities, while estuaries displayed moderate productivity influenced by fluctuating salinity and nutrient mixing. The sea, despite having lower productivity, showed higher phytoplankton diversity due to stable environmental conditions. Each ecosystem was dominated by distinct phytoplankton species adapted to their specific environmental characteristics. Conclusion: This study highlights the substantial impact of environmental factors on primary productivity and phytoplankton distribution in the coastal waters of Maros. The findings provide insights into the ecological dynamics of these ecosystems, emphasizing the importance of tailored management strategies to balance aquaculture practices and ecosystem sustainability. Novelty/Originality of this article: This research provides a comprehensive comparative analysis of primary productivity and phytoplankton abundance across three interconnected ecosystems in Maros, offering novel insights into their ecological interactions and implications for sustainable aquaculture and coastal management.

Abstract

Background: Turtles are endangered marine reptile species due to various factors, including hunting, habitat loss, and predation. Therefore, practical conservation efforts are essential to protect turtle populations. One effective conservation strategy is to transfer turtle eggs to safe semi-natural nests. Method: This study was conducted in Turtle Village, Pinrang Regency. Leatherback and Green Turtle eggs were collected from natural nests along the coast and transferred to semi-natural nests. Observations were made to measure the hatching success rate of the eggs, and factors such as temperature, incubation period, predators, microorganism development, and changes in egg position were also recorded and analyzed. Findings: The results showed that the hatching success rate of eggs in semi-natural nests reached 80.23%. The highest hatching percentage was 86.36%, and the lowest was 68.33%. Factors that influenced hatching success included temperature and incubation period while hatching failure was caused by predators, microorganism development, and changes in egg position. Conclusion: This study shows that semi-natural nests in Turtle Village have a high hatching success rate with supportive environmental conditions and proper egg transmission. This indicates that conservation efforts through egg transfer to semi-natural nests can effectively increase turtle populations. Novelty/Originality of this study: It contributes to turtle conservation by demonstrating the effectiveness of semi-natural nests in increasing the hatching success rate of Leatherback and Green Turtle eggs. This approach can serve as a model for turtle conservation programs in other areas facing similar challenges.

Abstract

Background: Among the Spermonde Archipelago is strategically important and predominantly medieval islands is Bontosua Island. In order to preserve the health and vitality of the ecosystems, the local communities on this island actively participate in environmental conservation. With the help of this study, the bottom cover of the waters surrounding Bontosua Island, Pangkajene Regency, and the archipelago will be mapped, and the relationships between various types of bottom cover will be ascertained. Methods: From March to September of 2022, the study was carried out. Images from the Sentinel-2A satellite were obtained on July 29, 2021. Using the Lyzenga procedure and the values ki/kj = 0.876875437 and a = -0.280796034, water column adjustment was carried out. The Unsupervised Classification approach was used to classify the images, and the Rapid Reef Assessment (RRA) method was used to verify the bottom water cover in the field. Findings: With a total area of 69.42 hectares, the results revealed seven dominating objects: deep sea, sand, dead coral, dead coral with algae, and coral debris (11.17 ha), living coral (17.32 ha), broken coral (12.73 ha), sand (4.43 ha), seagrass (12.61 ha), and dead coral with algae (11.16 ha). Conclusion: In the waters surrounding Bontosua Island, live coral constituted the greatest portion of the bottom cover, accounting for 25% of the total, while sand made up the least amount, just 6%. Novelty/Originality of this Study: The study on Bontosua Island's water bottom cover is novel due to its use of Sentinel-2A satellite imagery combined with the Lyzenga procedure and Unsupervised Classification approach, offering high-resolution mapping of underwater ecosystems. Additionally, the study's comprehensive classification and verification process through RRA provides detailed insights into the distribution and health of various bottom cover types, contributing to enhanced environmental conservation efforts in the Spermonde Archipelago.

Abstract

Small-scale fisheries play a strategic role in the blue economy and food security in coastal regions. In Mallusetasi District, fishers still rely on traditional and environmentally friendly fishing gear, yet they remain vulnerable to changes in coastal ecosystems, including shrimp farming activities. This study aims to analyze the perceptions of small-scale fishers regarding the impact of shrimp pond waste on their income. A total of 40 respondents were selected through purposive sampling, and data were analyzed using a Likert scale and Spearman correlation. The Likert scale analysis produced a total score of 552, indicating that fishers perceive a decline in catch volume and income due to waste discharge and expansion of shrimp farms. However, the Spearman correlation test revealed no statistically significant relationship between shrimp farming activities and the income of small-scale fishers. These findings indicate a discrepancy between environmental perceptions and actual economic conditions, suggesting that fishers are able to adapt and maintain their income through various coping strategies. Further investigation is required to better understand the socio-economic adaptation dynamics of small-scale fishers amid the pressures of coastal aquaculture activities.
