Abstract

Background: Water is an essential element for the survival of all living organisms. Human activities are closely intertwined with the availability and quality of water. However, environmental degradation resulting from waste generated by mining, energy, and mineral extraction activities poses significant threats to water quality, particularly in river systems. One such affected area is Kabaena Island, where mining operations have contributed to the deterioration of river and marine water quality. Objective: This study aims to examine the impact of mining waste pollution on the health, livelihood, and environment of communities on Kabaena Island. Methods: This research employed a qualitative descriptive design, utilizing online research methods (ORM) to collect and analyze secondary data in the form of text and images. Results: Data obtained from community reports indicate that 71% of residents have experienced health problems associated with mining waste exposure. Furthermore, 83% of the population reported a decline in income, and 94% perceived significant environmental degradation linked to nickel mining activities. Conclusion: Water pollution on Kabaena Island, Southeast Sulawesi, is primarily attributed to waste generated by nickel mining operations, which contaminates both river and marine ecosystems. The presence of heavy metals exceeding safety thresholds poses serious risks to ecological integrity, public health, and the socio-economic well-being of local communities.

Abstract

Background: Indonesia, as the largest archipelagic country in the world, possesses approximately two-thirds of its territory in the form of marine areas, with a total area of around 3.25 million km². Of this, 2.55 million km² constitutes the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). Indonesia has the right to utilize natural resources both living and non-living within its waters, which span an estimated 7.81 million km². This vast maritime potential offers significant opportunities for the development of the marine and fisheries sector, which serves as a key pillar in national economic growth. Objective: This study aims to examine the relationship between climate change and the prevalence of environmentally-based diseases among coastal fishing communities in Abeli District. Method: This research employed a descriptive-analytical design with a cross-sectional approach. Data collection was conducted through structured interviews involving 200 randomly selected respondents using a standardized research questionnaire. Data were analyzed to explore the correlation between perceived climate change (such as increasing air temperatures) and reported cases of environment-related diseases. Results: The majority of respondents (61.5%) were within the 41–60 year age group. Out of 200 respondents, 32 reported having contracted dengue fever. Among these, 2 respondents (1.0%) perceived an increase in air temperature, while 9 (4.5%) did not. Additionally, 7 respondents reported having malaria, and 5 experienced skin diseases. Of those with skin diseases, 2 (1.0%) perceived a rise in temperature, while 3 (1.5%) did not. These results indicate patterns in the perception of climatic changes associated with the incidence of environmentally-influenced diseases. Conclusion: The findings suggest a significant relationship between climate change and the prevalence of environmentally-based diseases within coastal fishing communities in Abeli District. Therefore, it is imperative to implement effective mitigation strategies through enhanced public health education and the strengthening of health infrastructure to address the challenges posed by climate change. Keywords: Climate Change, Disease Prevalence, Fishing Communities, Coastal, Marine and Fisheries
