Abstract

One of the dangerous heavy metals that can build up in aquatic biota is mercury (Hg). The purpose of this study was to evaluate the environmental health condition in possibly polluted areas near Pelangan Village, Sekotong Subdistrict, West Lombok, and to ascertain the heavy metal level in Gracilaria sp. Using samples taken from Pelangan, Elak-Elak, and Mentigi, the Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS) method was used to analyze non-essential heavy metal pollution in Gracilaria sp. According to the findings, Gracilaria samples taken from the Sekotong Subdistrict's coastline area had the greatest levels of mercury pollution, with 0.05 mg/kg in Elak-Elak and 0.14 mg/kg in Pelangan. On the other hand, samples of Gracilaria sp. from the Mentigi coast in North Lombok did not exhibit any mercury contamination (0.00 mg/kg). The levels of mercury accumulation in Gracilaria sp. are classified as dangerous since they surpass the 0.03 mg/kg maximum permissible limit for mercury in consumable products established by the Indonesian National Standard (SNI 7387:2009). Additionally, Gracilaria substrate samples from Pelangan had a mercury contamination level of 0.05 mg/kg, greater than that of Mentigi and Elak-Elak (both at 0.00 mg/kg). The proximate content of Graciaria sp was influenced by the sampling location but was not influenced by mercury contamination.

Abstract

Macroalgae are multicellular lower plant organisms that live in water, especially in marine waters. Macroalgae better known as marine algae are macroscopic algae that can reach several meters in length. Macroalgae are a highly diverse group of organisms in terms of morphology, level of structural complexity, and size. They play an important role in maintaining ocean water quality, reducing coastal erosion, and providing habitat for a wide variety of marine life. This study aimed to identify the macroalgae species present in the Sire Beach area and determine the ecological index of macroalgae in the Sire Beach area. This study was conducted from October to December 2024. Data collection was carried out using the transect method along the coastline with a transect size of 50 m perpendicular to the coastline. The macroalgae data found in this study are categorized into three classes, seven orders, seven families, nine genera, and 15 species of macroalgae. The macroalgae types found include eight species of the phylum Chlorophyta, four species of the phylum Phaeophyta, and three species of the phylum Rhodophyta. Chlorophyta (green algae) is the most common type of macroalgae in Shira Beach. The diversity index (H\') in this study was 2.47, indicating a moderate diversity of macroalgae. The evenness index value obtained is 0.91 which indicates that the evenness value is high. The dominance index in this study is 0.11 which indicates that the level of dominance is low. The obtained Margarev's wealth indicator is 3.69, indicating that the richness of the seeds is moderate.
