Abstract

The coral reef ecosystems around Gili Noko Island, Bawean, Indonesia serve as one of the main sources of livelihood for the local community and provide essential habitat for various marine biota, particularly reef fish. This study aimed to assess the structure of the reef fish community in the area. The research was conducted from April to June 2024 using the Underwater Visual Census (UVC) method. The results recorded the presence of seven reef fish families: Acanthuridae, Apogonidae, Balistidae, Caesionidae, Chaetodontidae, Ephippidae, and Scaridae. The fish abundance index across all station points ranged from 1.50 ind/m² to 1.65 ind/m², indicating a relatively high abundance. The reef fish diversity index (H') at all stations was categorized as high, the evenness index (E) also fell within the high category, while the dominance index (D) was categorized as low. These findings suggest that the reef fish community structure in the waters around Gili Noko Island is both diverse and evenly distributed, with no single species dominating the ecosystem.

Abstract

Bangsring Village, Banyuwangi Regency, Indonesia is a coastal tourism area with high ecological and economic potential; however, tourist visitation has declined significantly since 2020, highlighting the need for locally grounded and resilient livelihood innovations. This study aims to evaluate the feasibility and community relevance of lobster aquaculture as a tourism-supporting livelihood strategy using a Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR) framework. The CBPR process was implemented through collaborative problem identification, participatory planning, joint environmental assessment, and community-led implementation involving the Pesona Bahari Community Group. Water quality parameters and site characteristics were jointly analyzed to inform technology selection. Based on these findings, a circular bottom (base) net-cage system was selected due to its suitability for moderate current conditions, benthic substrates, and its ability to mimic the natural habitat of lobsters. Program implementation included cage construction and deployment, seed stocking, daily maintenance using natural feed, and harvesting after approximately 100 days of rearing. The outcomes indicate increased community capacity in environmentally responsible lobster aquaculture practices and successful production of marketable-sized lobsters under local conditions. Beyond economic diversification, lobster farming activities also function as an educational and experiential attraction, strengthening the integration between aquaculture and coastal tourism. This study contributes a context-specific CBPR-based model for integrating small-scale lobster aquaculture with coastal tourism development. The approach demonstrates practical applicability and potential replicability for other coastal communities seeking sustainable livelihood diversification without compromising ecosystem integrity.
