Abstract

The Nias Islands are a group of islands located on the west coast of Sumatra. Nias Island is the main and largest island on the West Coast of Sumatra. Information on the distribution and potential status of mangroves in the Nias Islands has been reported, but it is limited to a narrow area and not yet comprehensive throughout the Nias Islands. This study aims to determine the distribution and ecological status of mangroves in the Nias Islands. The research location was divided into two observation areas, namely 15 points on Nias Island and 23 points on the southern part of Nias. The research was carried out in June 2019 and June 2021. Mangrove sampling was carried out using the "spot check" method which refers to Bengen (2004). The results showed that the mangroves found in the Nias Islands consisted of 22 primary mangrove species and 9 secondary mangrove species. Rhizophora apiculata, Rhizophora mucronata, and Xylocarpus granatum are the most abundant mangrove species and are commonly found in the Nias Islands. The thickness of mangroves in the Nias Islands ranges from 15 – 880 m. The density of mangroves found reached 350-4,360 ind/ha. Mangrove cover reaches 0.08-31.62 m2/ha. The results of the analysis of the significant value of mangrove species show that Rhizophora mucronata and Rhizophora apiculata have a large influence and role in the mangrove vegetation community on Nias Island. Mangroves in the Nias Islands are categorized as damaged–good. The good category was found in South Nias, Belukar Bay, and Bengkuang Bay, while the damaged category was found in Lahewa Bay and Dalam Bay

Abstract

Marine and fisheries resources in the waters of Nias Regency are one of the sectors that drive the community's economy, especially in coastal areas. Coral reefs are one of the marine ecosystems in Nias Regency that have high ecological and economic value. This research aims to evaluate the environmental conditions of coral reefs in the Nias Regency Water Area, especially in the seascape tourism zone around the waters of Onolimbu Island and Musi Island as research locations. The research was conducted from March to May 2023 in the coastal waters of Nias Regency to collect ecological and socio-economic data. Coral cover analysis was carried out using underwater photo methods and classified based on condition categories set by the Ministry of Environment. The condition of coral reefs at this research location is in the damaged to moderate category (23.47-45.13%) with an average abundance of 31.54% and is included in the medium category. The percentage of coral reef life form types consists of Dead Coral Algae (DCA) (34.86%), Hard Coral (31.81%), Sands (15.73%), Recent Dead Coral (5.84%), and the rest are Rubble, Other Biota and Rock. Coral Reefs, Coral Cover, Nias Regency
