Abstract

This research was carried out in March 2020 to identify the type and abundance of microplastics and the relationship between the abundance of microplastics and the size (weight and length) of Telescopium telescopium in the coastal waters of Karimun Island, Riau Islands Province. Tanjung Balai Karimun has densely populated settlements and has many tourist attractions, so it is suspected that a large amount of plastic used is wasted into marine waters and fragmented into microplastics. The method used in this research is the survey method. The results showed that the abundance of microplastics in T.telescopium ranged from 6.9 - 12 particles/individual. The types of microplastics found were fibre, film and fragments, with the dominant type being Fiber. The abundance of fibre type microplastics has a strong relationship with weight and a moderate to length relationship. The abundance of film and fragment microplastics had a weak relationship with weight and length.

Abstract

Selat Baru Village was one of several beaches on Bengkalis Island which was located in the northern part of Bengkalis Island. Selat Baru Beach is a tourist spot that has the most visitors every day, especially during the Eid holidays. In addition, there are rivers, ports, and boat crossings also taking place on Selat Baru Beach. The purpose of this study was to determine the content of sediment organic matter, the type and abundance of macrozoobenthos, and to determine the relationship between the organic matter of sediment and the abundance of macrozoobenthos in the New Strait coastal waters. The method used was a survey method, where the data collected was primary data which was then analyzed statistically and discussed descriptively. The results of measurements of oceanographic parameters from the research location have an average temperature of 28,67 oC, and pH of 7, a salinity of 26,33 ‰, transparency of 24,33 cm, and a current velocity of 0,1 m/s. The average sediment content obtained at station 1 was 1,42%, station 2 was 0,77%, and station 3 was 7,34%. The percentage of sand fraction has the highest percentage at station 1 substation 3 (95,56%) and the lowest at station 3 substation 3 (39,78%), while the highest percentage of mud fraction was at station 3 substation 3 (54,19%) and the lowest found at station 2 substation 1 (4,15%). The macrozoobenthos found were from the Bivalvia class (Corbicula sp, Lucinidae sp, Anomia sp) and the Gastropod class (Nucella sp, Rabdotus sp, Cerithidea sp) and the Malacostraca class (Hermigrapsus sp). The average abundance of macrozoobenthos found at station 1 was 4,22 ind/m2, station 2 was 4,22 ind/m2, and station 3 was 10,67 ind/m2. The result shows the effect of the sludge sediment fraction on the abundance of macrozoobenthos has a coefficient of determination (R2) with a value of 0,9015 and a correlation coefficient (r) with a value of 0,9495 meaning that 90,15% of macrozoobenthos abundance was influenced by sediment fraction and the rest was influenced by other environmental factors

Abstract

Coral reefs play a role in maintaining marine biodiversity by providing habitat for various aquatic organisms, including reef fish from the Pomacentridae family. This study aims to analyze the relationship between coral reef cover and the Abundance of Pomacentridae reef fish in the waters of Setan Island, West Sumatra. The underwater photo transect (UPT) method is employed for coral cover analysis, while the underwater visual census (UVC) method is utilized for collecting fish abundance data. The results showed that the average percentage value of coral reef cover at a depth of 3 m was 20.38%, and at a depth of 6 m, it was 17.51%, indicating a poor category for the percentage value of coral reef cover. Data collection was conducted at four different stations. The highest coral cover was recorded at Station I (31.35%), while the lowest was at Station IV (0.33%). The Abundance of Pomacentridae reef fish varied between stations, with the highest Abundance observed in areas with higher coral cover. Based on simple linear regression analysis, the percentage of live coral cover accounts for 56.19% of the variation in the abundance value of Pomacentridae coral fish (R² = 0.5619), with a strong correlation (r = 0.7496). This indicates that declining coral reef conditions can harm fish populations. This finding underscores the significance of coral reef conservation efforts in maintaining marine biodiversity and ecosystem balance

Abstract

Teluk Makmur in Dumai City is a coastal area experiencing ecological pressure due to human activities, such as tourism and industry. Changes in water quality in this region may affect the structure of the zooplankton community, which plays a crucial role in the food chain. This study aims to determine the species and abundance of zooplankton at various depths and stations. The research was conducted in November 2024 at Koneng Beach, Marina Beach, and Puak Beach. At each station, samples were collected at three depths (1 m, 3 m, and 5 m) using survey and purposive sampling techniques. Water quality parameters such as temperature, salinity, DO, pH, transparency, current, nitrate, and phosphate were also measured. Identification revealed five zooplankton species from the class Hexanauplia: Acartia sp., Calanus sp., Temora turbinata, Oithona sp., and Nauplius sp. The highest abundance was recorded at a depth of 5 m (41,542 ind/l), while the lowest abundance was found at depths of 1 m and 3 m (0 ind/l). Based on stations, the highest abundance was observed at Station I (27,694.67 ind/l) and the lowest at Station II (8,308.33 ind/l). One-way ANOVA test results showed no significant difference in zooplankton abundance either between depths or between stations (p > 0.05).

Abstract

Environmental damage is caused by coastal reclamation to advance the economic sector in Batam City. Reclamation can cause changes in the coastline of Batam City. This study aims to determine the extent of changes in the coastline that occurred in Batam City from 2003 to 2023 and to understand the pattern of ocean current circulation in Batam City before reclamation in 2003 and after reclamation in 2023. This study was conducted in January 2024. The method used for data analysis to observe changes in the coastline is the Digital Shoreline Analysis System. Numerical models available in the MIKE21 software to model water circulation in estuary beaches. The study results show that land additions dominated changes in the coastline of Batam City from 2003 to 2023. The sub-district with the most significant addition was Bengkong, with an addition of 816.58 m and an addition rate of 39.79 m/year, followed by Nongsa, with an addition of 279.05 m and an accretion rate of 13.59 m/year. The flow pattern during the ebb and flow before reclamation had a maximum speed of 0.27 m/s, while after reclamation, the maximum current speed increased to 0.33 m/s. It can be concluded that the progression of the coastline primarily drove the changes in Batam City's coastline from 2003 to 2023. Meanwhile, the increasing current speed can reach 0.33 m/s

Abstract

Industrial and shipping activities in coastal areas have the potential to increase heavy metal pollution, which can accumulate in marine organisms and impact food safety. On the west coast of Dumai, Geloina erosa and Cerithidea obtusa are widely consumed by the local community, making it important to study their heavy metal content. This study aims to analyse the levels of Pb, Cu, and Zn in the soft tissues of these two species and compare the differences between species and sampling locations. The study was conducted in February 2025 at two stations: Station 1 (Purnama) and Station 2 (Pangkalan Sesai). Samples were collected using purposive sampling and analysed using Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS). The results showed that the average Pb, Cu, and Zn content in G. erosa were 6.79 µg/g, 6.13 µg/g, and 8.36 µg/g, respectively, while in C. obtusa they were 7.09 µg/g, 6.27 µg/g, and 7.41 µg/g. Significant differences (p < 0.05) were detected in the Cu and Zn content in G. erosa, as well as Zn in C. obtusa, between stations. Pb and Cu were generally higher in both species at Station 2, while the highest Zn levels were found in G. erosa at Station 1 (9.12 µg/g) and C. obtusa at Station 2 (8.50 µg/g). The highest PTWI value was found in G. erosa at Station 1; however, all results remained within safe consumption limits. Therefore, both species are deemed safe for consumption, despite variations in heavy metal content between species and research locations
