Abstract

This study examines the relationship between zoobenthos diversity, sediment characteristics, and mangrove density in three fishery harbors in Bireuen District: PPI Peudada, PPI Jeumpa, and PPI Jangka. Data were collected using quadrat and line transects with purposive sampling. Peudada showed the highest zoobenthos diversity (H'=0.71) with low dominance (D=0.27) and medium sand substrate. Jeumpa and Jangka were dominated by tolerant species and coarse sand. True mangrove regeneration was more developed in Jeumpa and Jangka, while Peudada was dominated by non-mangrove vegetation. There is a strong relationship between sediment type, zoobenthos diversity, and mangrove structure. Fine sediments favored benthic diversity, while coarse sediments supported mangrove growth. The findings highlight the importance of integrated coastal ecosystem management to sustain ecological functions in fishery ports. Keywords: Bireuen; Coastal Ecosystem; Mangrove; Sediment; Zoobenthos

Abstract

The improvementt of entrepreneurship competency is an initiative to empower the young generation of school dropouts to achieve financial independence through entrepreneurship. This program is motivated by the high dropout rate in Indonesia due to family economic constraints. The main objective of this community service activity is to equip participants with practical entrepreneurial knowledge and skills, as well as develop an innovative entrepreneurial mindset. The method of implementing activities was in the form of intensive training, business mentoring, and the formation of weekly discussion groups. A total of 50 young school dropouts participated in this activity. The provided materials included the basics of entrepreneurship, financial management, digital marketing, and product development. This program provides access to initial capital through a partnership scheme with microfinance institutions. The results achieved were the formation of 10 small business groups, the birth of 15 young entrepreneurs who started businesses, and the creation of a support system network between participants. This program contributes to reducing unemployment among young school dropouts and improving the socio-economic status of participant families. Sustainability is carried out through a continuous mentoring system and periodic evaluation to ensure the development of participants' businesses.

Abstract

Intensive whiteleg shrimp farming has the potential to degrade water quality through the accumulation of organic matter and nutrients in coastal ecosystems. This study aimed to evaluate differences in water quality between estuarine and marine waters in Bireuen Regency, Aceh, and to associate them with plankton and bacteria as ecological indicators. The research was conducted from July to August 2025 at three estuarine and three marine stations, analyzing physical, chemical, and biological parameters. Results showed that estuarine waters had higher TSS (9–16 mg/L), NH₃ (0.80 mg/L), BOD (4.6–7.1 mg/L), and COD (32–33 mg/L) than marine waters, associated with the presence of Nitzschia spp., Ceratium hirundinella, Brachionus rotundiformis, Aeromonas hydrophila, and Vibrio parahaemolyticus. In marine waters, although DO and salinity were more stable, eutrophication indicators included Noctiluca spp., copepods (Acartia, Oithona), V. alginolyticus, and Photobacterium damselae. These findings indicate that estuaries act as pollution hotspots while marine waters are also affected, emphasizing the need for ecosystem-based management of shrimp aquaculture effluents.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the physicochemical characteristics and microbiota communities in the Paya Nie Ecotourism Reservoir as a basis for water quality management for sustainable fisheries cultivation. Sampling was conducted at ten points representing the western, central, and eastern parts of the reservoir. Parameters measured included temperature, clarity, turbidity, pH, salinity, dissolved oxygen (DO), ammonia, phosphate, nitrate, COD, BOD, plankton density, and Escherichia coli. The results showed that most parameters were still in accordance with quality standards (PP No. 22 of 2021), especially pH (7.03–7.97), ammonia (0.001–0.028 mg/L), phosphate (2.6–3.9 mg/L), and nitrate (0.02–2.0 mg/L). However, DO levels at several stations were low (1.67–3.33 mg/L), while COD (500–926 mg/L) and BOD (1.00–2.47 mg/L) exceeded the threshold, indicating a high organic pollution load. The highest E. coli value was recorded at Station X (744.33 CFU/100 ml), indicating contamination from domestic activities. The dominant plankton species were Euglena sp. and Eudorina sp., indicating the waters are classified as productive but potentially eutrophic. The results of this study emphasize the need for waste management, cage density regulation, and routine water quality monitoring to maintain ecosystem balance and support the sustainability of fish farming in the Paya Nie Reservoir.

Abstract

This study aimed to identify the concentration of heavy metals, lead (Pb) and cadmium (Cd), in sediments and oysters (Bivalvia), as well as to examine their relationship with mangrove ecosystem characteristics in Kuala Ceurape (Bireuen) and Udeung Village (Pidie Jaya). Heavy metal concentrations were analyzed using the Indonesian National Standard (SNI) methods, while mangrove species identification was conducted through field vegetation surveys. The results showed that Pb concentrations in sediments ranged from 3.67–15.29 mg/kg with an average of 7.38 mg/kg in Udeung and 8.65 mg/kg in Kuala Ceurape. Cd concentrations in sediments were higher, ranging from 4.69–11.95 mg/kg (average 7.38 mg/kg) in Udeung and 3.54–11.69 mg/kg (average 8.65 mg/kg) in Kuala Ceurape. In oysters, Pb concentrations were recorded at 4.36–9.53 mg/kg in Udeung and 2.16–6.71 mg/kg in Kuala Ceurape, while Cd showed greater accumulation, reaching 17.07–18.13 mg/kg (average 12.71 mg/kg) in Udeung and 1.96–11.21 mg/kg (average 5.16 mg/kg) in Kuala Ceurape. Compared to FAO/WHO and CCME standards, Pb levels in sediments remained below the threshold, but Pb and Cd in oysters and Cd in sediments exceeded safe limits. Vegetation identification indicated the dominance of Rhizophora apiculata, which plays an important role in heavy metal trapping. These findings suggest that mangrove ecosystems function as natural filters of heavy metals, yet bioaccumulation in edible biota such as oysters may pose potential health risks to coastal communities.

Abstract

The rapid development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology presents both opportunities and challenges in the educational sector, particularly for high school students who often lack a comprehensive understanding of its potential as a learning tool. This community service activity aimed to enhance the digital literacy and AI utilization skills of students at SMA Negeri 1 Peusangan Siblah Krueng, Bireuen Regency. Using a quasi-experimental method with a one-group pretest-posttest design, the activity involved 50 eleventh-grade students selected through purposive sampling. The intervention consisted of interactive counseling on AI concepts and hands-on training using various AI applications like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Canva AI. Data were collected through questionnaires, observations, and documentation. The results showed a significant increase in students' understanding of AI concepts, ability to formulate effective prompts, and skills in operating AI applications independently. The average post-test scores across all assessed aspects, such as basic understanding, prompt engineering, and practical skills, increased substantially compared to pre-test scores. Students also demonstrated high enthusiasm and a positive attitude toward using AI in learning. This training successfully equipped students with the knowledge and skills to utilize AI as an effective, responsible, and productive learning aid, supporting their readiness for educational transformation in the digital era.
