Abstract

Sea turtle populations have declined due to habitat destruction and the widespread collection of eggs for commercial purposes. This study assessed the characteristics and suitability of semi-natural hatchery habitats for Olive Ridley Sea Turtles (Lepidochelys olivacea) at Batu Hiu Beach, Pangandaran, West Java, Indonesia, from June 1-July 31, 2023. The survey method and purposive sampling were employed to determine nesting sites based on turtle landing points.Biophysical habitat measurements were analyzed descriptively and statistically using one-way ANOVA and Tukey's post hoc test to compare sand temperature, sand humidity, and air humidity. An L. olivacea landed at site 4, laying 73 eggs in a natural nest with 34 cm nest depth and 24 cm nest diameter. Semi-natural nests measured 37 cm nest depth and 26 cm in nest diameter. The sand type at Batu Hiu Beach was characterized by black sand grains and fine sand substrate with a percentage of 51.02%. The temperature within the hatchery ranged from 25.3°C to 42.1°C.  with average of 29.7 ± 1.88 °C.The sand humidity in the hatchery ranged from 2% to 14%, with an average daily humidity of 10 ± 0.22 %. The air humidity within the hatchery ranged from 56% to 94%, with a daily average of 85 ± 0.05 %. Based on all the analyzed parameters, the hatchery at Batu Hiu Sea Turtle Preservation were suitable with the nest criteria by Technical Guidelines for Sea Turtle Conservation Management by DKP for the hatching of L. olivacea eggs, with a hatching success rate of 85%.Keywords: Lepidochelys olivacea, temperature, humidity, sand type, hatching success

Abstract

Kepulauan seribu archipelago is home to Kelapa Dua Island, a potential marine tourism destination and habitat for diverse marine life. The survival of marine biota hinges on suitable physical and chemical water parameters, encompassing temperature, pH, salinity, and dissolved oxygen (DO). This study aims to evaluate water quality and litter distribution on Kelapa Dua Island within Kepualauan Seribu National Park. Results reveal that the water quality largely aligns with established standards; however, specific points surpass limits, notably lower salinity at stasion 3 (26%o), and higher pH at station 2 (9.35). Despite meeting quality standards, the island's status as a populated area and tourist destination raises concerns about potential alterations to water quality. Furthermore, observations on litter distribution indicate a status categorized as B (0-4/m) and C (4-10/m), highlighting a relatively low level of litter presence. The interaction of human activities, both as inhabitants and visitors, may contribute to fluctuations in water quality. Understanding these dynamics is crucial for sustainable management, ensuring the preservation of Pulau Kelapa's ecological integrity as a cherished marine environment and tourist attraction. This study provides insights into the delicate balance between human interactions and environmental preservation in the context of Pulau Kelapa, Kepualauan Seribu.Keywords:Water qualityLitter DistributionKelapa Dua IslandKepulauan Seribu
