Abstract

Serinting Beach, located within the Mandalika Special Economic Zone (SEZ), is an intertidal area with high biological potential for tourism. However, studies on its Echinodermata community remain limited. The existence of this community is crucial as an indicator of coastal ecosystem health and holds potential for developing educational ecotourism, such as reef walking tours. This research aims to analyze the species richness and composition of the Echinodermata community, along with its ecological indices (diversity, evenness, and dominance). Data was collected in March 2025 using the transect-quadrat method, employing three transects perpendicular to the coastline and 15 quadrats, each measuring 2 × 5 m². The study results revealed 21 Echinodermata species, consisting of 10 genera and 9 families from four classes: Asteroidea, Ophiuroidea, Echinoidea, and Holothuroidea. The community composition was dominated by Ophiocoma scolopendrina (43.90%), Echinometra mathaei (21.33%), and Echinometra sp. (16.77%). The diversity index (H') was 1.59; the evenness index (E) was 0.62; and the dominance index (D) was 0.28. Tripneustes gratilla populations were found in low numbers and are suspected to be under pressure due to traditional reef gleaning activities. The findings of this study are expected to serve as a basis for enviromental management and the development of educational tourism, like reef walking tours, in the intertidal zone of the Mandalika SEZ.

Abstract

Serinting Beach is located within the Special Economic Zone of Mandalika, where ongoing massive tourism facility development may impact the intertidal coral communities. The intertidal zone of Serinting Beach is also a primary location for reef gleaning, which impacts corals in the intertidal area. Considering that corals are the foundational components of reef ecosystems, the prospective development of this designated super-priority tourism area may exert significant impacts on the intertidal coral communities. This investigation aimed to delineate the coral community structure within the intertidal zone of Serinting Beach, situated in the Mandalika Special Economic Zone (SEZ). Sampling was executed via the transect-quadrat method. Measured variables encompassed coral life forms, genera, families, and the respective colony counts. The study identified 323 coral colonies distributed among 17 genera and 9 families. Compositions of three predominant genera were Heliopora 25.39%, Favites 24.77%, and Porites 22.91%. The Faviidae family exhibited the highest compositional abundance, contributing 37.15%, followed by Helioporidae 25.39% and Poritidae 23.53%. Furthermore, eight distinct coral life forms were documented in the intertidal zone, with massive coral representing the predominant form at 35.60%, followed by coral encrusting 26.01%, and blue coral 25.39%. Ecological indices indicated a moderate level of coral diversity (H'=1.98), accompanied by an unstable evenness index (E=0.70) and a low dominance index (C=0.19).

Abstract

Gold mining activities can cause environmental degradation and have negative impacts on human health. This study aimed to analyze mercury concentrations in blood cockles (Anadara granosa) in the Essential Ecosystem Area (EEA) of the Bagek Kembar Mangrove, Sekotong, West Lombok. Sampling was conducted using 10 x 10 meter quadrants, and the data were analyzed using a Cold Atomic Absorption Analyzer of Mercury (CAAAM). Based on the analysis results, mercury concentrations in the flesh of Anadara granosa were in the range of 0.0057 to 0.0394 mg/kg, with the highest average concentration recorded at the station closest to the tourist area (0.0357 mg/kg). Despite this, the mercury levels remain below the safety threshold established by National Agency of Drug and Food Control (BPOM) Regulation No. 9 of 2022, which is 1.0 mg/kg. Therefore, regular environmental monitoring and increased public awareness about the dangers of mercury use are strongly recommended tu support the long-term preservation of marine ecological system and safeguard the safety of seafood consumption. Future research is suggested to assess the safe daily intake limit of Anadara granosa for local communities based on the detected mercury levels, in order to evaluate potential health risks to consumers.

Abstract

Mangrove are coastal ecosystems that play a crucial role in maintaining environmental stability, protecting shorelines, and providing essential habitats for diverse species of flora and fauna. Mangrove ecosystems also play a vital role in mitigating climate change by absorbing and storing atmospheric carbon. This study was conducted with the objective of estimate the carbon stock in mangrove seedlings and sediments within the Essential Ecosystem Area (EEA) of Bagek Kembar, Sekotong, West Lombok. Mangrove seedlings sampling was conducted using the destructive (harvesting) method and analyzed in accordance with the Indonesia National Standard (SNI), while mangrove sediments sampling was carried out using a corer and analyzed using the Loss on Ignition (LOI) method. The results showed that natural mangroves had seedlings carbon stock of 3.44 tons C/ha, whereas rehabilitated mangroves had seedlings carbon stock of 2.95 tons C/ha. Carbon stock at sediment in natural mangroves was 591.49 Mg/ha, and for sediments at rehabilitated mangroves was 575.39 Mg/ha. The average seedlings carbon stock in the EEA Bagek Kembar Sekotong West Lombok was 3.19 tons C/ha, while the average sediments carbon stock was 583.41 Mg/ha. These findings highlight the significant carbon storage potential of mangroves ecosystems, particulary in seedlings and sediments. Although mangrove seedling possess relatively small biomass, they make a meaningful contribution to future carbon stock.

Abstract

The intensive harvesting of Mangrove Crabs (Scylla serrata) has led to a significant decline in the population density of Scylla serrata in mangrove areas. Overfishing has resulted in a decrease in both the number and size of individual Mangrove Crabs and has altered the structure and composition of the population. This research aims to understand the morphometric characteristics of Scylla serrata, which will help sustain the population and protect mangrove areas as the native habitat for Scylla serrata and other organisms. Therefore, this study contributes to conservation and sustainable management efforts to ensure biodiversity. This type of research is descriptive-exploratory and aims to identify and analyze the size variations of Scylla serrata. The study was conducted at four points in the Essential Ecosystem Area (EEA) of Bagek Kembar Mangrove Forest, Sekotong, West Lombok, in both natural and rehabilitated zones. The results of this study found that the ratio of female to male Mangrove Crabs is 36:32, with females being more dominant in number. The morphometric characteristics of Mangrove Crabs in the Bagek Kembar Essential Ecosystem Area showed relatively uniform sizes across all sampling points, but some characteristics such as dactyl length, weight, and dactyl width showed significant differences, which may be influenced by the physiological condition of Scylla serrata and habitat conditions.

Abstract

The Ophiuroid has an important role in intertidal area. Many scientific papers show predation (partial loss of arms) on Ophiuroid. Predators of the Ophiuroid include sea urchins, sea stars, demersal fish, shrimp, and crabs. Ophiuroid that have a larger disc diameter can prey on species that have a smaller disc diameter. This study aims to describe the predation intensity of the Ophiomastix annulosa using the cruising method and analyze the correlation between disc diameter and predation intensity at the Serinting Beach, Special Economic Zone (SEZ) of Mandalika. The results showed that disc diameter and predation intensity on O. annulosa varied greatly. The size of the disc diameter found ranged from 1.01-2.55 cm. Most disc diameters were found at 1.55-1.84 cm. A total of 45% of the sample brittle star experienced predation. Predation intensity was mostly found at loosing one arm. There was no correlation between O. annulosa disc diameter and predation intensity at Serinting Beach Mandalika.

Abstract

Mangrove ecosystems have a crucial role in absorbing and storing carbon, which contributes to controlling greenhouse gas emissions, especially carbon dioxide (CO₂) as the largest contributor to greenhouse gases. This research aims to measure sediment organic carbon stocks (SOCS) in the Muara Gembong mangrove area, Bekasi, West Java. Sediment samples were taken by purposive sampling from three locations with different mangrove characteristics, namely Station 1, Station 2 and Station 3. Samples were analyzed using the Loss on Ignition (LOI) method to determine the organic carbon content in the sediment. The research results showed that the highest carbon stock 669.95 tonnes/ha was found at Station 1, while the lowest carbon stock 2 501.78 tonnes/ha was at Station. In general, organic carbon content increases in deeper sediment layers. The dominant sediment texture is silty and silty loam, which supports carbon storage capacity. This research highlights the importance of preserving mangrove ecosystems as an effort to mitigate climate change through optimizing carbon storage in mangrove sediments.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the horizontal distribution of birds based on habitat type, namely fish ponds, rehabilitated mangroves, and natural mangroves, located in the Bagek Kembar Mangrove Area. Observations were conducted in June-July at the Bagek Kembar Mangrove Area, Sekotong. This research uses a transect method, following the paths found at three observation locations. Bird observations were conducted twice, in the morning (06:30-09:30 WITA) and evening (15:30-18:30 WITA). The results recorded 57 species, with the dominant habitat for finding bird species being the natural mangrove area, which has a fairly dense and diverse vegetation structure. The horizontal distribution of birds in the Bagek Kembar Mangrove Area is illustrated using CANOCO for Windows 4.5 with a PCA (Principal Component Analysis) diagram. This study concludes that bird diversity is higher in natural mangrove habitats compared to fishpond and rehabilitated mangrove habitats, making this area important for supporting conservation and the development of birdwatching ecotourism.
