Abstract

Coastal ecosystems play a crucial role in supporting biodiversity, but are increasingly threatened by heavy metal pollution from industrial and domestic activities. The mangrove species Avicennia alba can absorb heavy metals through phytoremediation processes, making it a promising bioindicator of environmental contamination. This study aimed to analyze the concentrations and variations in the accumulation of lead (Pb) and copper (Cu) in A. alba roots, stems, and leaves along the western coast of Dumai City, Riau Province. Fieldwork was conducted from January to February 2025 at two sampling sites: Pangkalan Sesai Village (Station 1) and Purnama Village (Station 2). Heavy metal concentrations were determined using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry (AAS) following wet digestion. Environmental parameters were also measured, including temperature, salinity, and pH. Data analysis involved descriptive statistics, non-parametric tests, and independent t-tests. The results indicated that Pb and Cu were present in all plant parts. The highest concentration of Pb was found in the stems (7.05 µg/g), while Cu was most concentrated in the roots (5.38 µg/g). No statistically significant differences were observed among plant parts (p > 0.05); however, a significant spatial difference in Pb concentrations between the two stations was detected (p < 0.05). These findings suggest that anthropogenic activities and local water quality conditions likely Influence the observed variations. Overall, A. alba demonstrates strong potential as a bioindicator species for monitoring heavy metal contamination in coastal environments.

Abstract

Global warming is caused by increased greenhouse gas emissions, particularly CO₂, and can be controlled through carbon sequestration by vegetation, including mangrove forests. The study was conducted in January and February 2025 in the mangrove area of Penempul Village, Sungai Sembilan District, Dumai City, Riau Province, to determine the density in relation to biomass, carbon stock, and CO₂ absorption, as well as to investigate the relationship between density and biomass, carbon stock, and CO₂ absorption. The method used in this study was a survey method with a purposive sampling technique, which involved measuring the diameter of mangrove tree trunks at chest height (DBH). Mangrove biomass calculations were performed using allometric equations, and biomass was converted into carbon stock and CO₂ absorption. The study results indicated the presence of 11 mangrove species, with average estimated biomass, carbon stock, and CO₂ absorption values of 521.84 tons/ha, 245.25 tons/ha, and 899.35 tons/ha, respectively. The ANOVA results showed significant differences (p > 0.05) between the three stations regarding biomass, carbon stock, and CO₂ absorption. Mangrove density had a weak correlation with biomass, carbon stock, and CO₂ absorption, with a correlation coefficient of 0.299.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of storage temperature on microbial growth in several pro coffee variants and to investigate the impact of storage temperature on the quality of pro coffee containing B. cereus SN7. The coffee variants used were original, latte, original jelly, and latte jelly at temperatures of 10, 25, and 37°C for 7 days of storage. Microbial growth was observed using the total plate count method, while the pro coffee quality was analysed using the organoleptic test. The results showed that low storage temperatures can inhibit microbial growth and maintain the quality of pro coffee. The lowest total number of microbes was found in the original variant with a storage temperature of 10°C, with a value of 0.11 × 103 CFU/mL, and the highest total number of microbes was found in the latte jelly variant with a storage temperature of 25°C, with a value of 3.476 × 103 CFU/mL. In the organoleptic test, the highest value was found in the latte variant coffee at a storage temperature of 10°C, categorized as 'very like', with a value of 35% for taste, 30% for aroma, and 30% for colour. The effect of temperature on the product quality of several probiotic coffee variants containing B. cereus SN7 showed a significant difference (p < 0.05) in microbial growth and the quality value of the probiotic coffee. Statistical analysis showed the effect of temperature on the product quality of several pro coffee variants containing B. cereus SN7.

Abstract

Microplastics are plastic particles smaller than 5 mm that are difficult to degrade and tend to persist for long periods. This study aims to analyze the types and abundance of microplastics, as well as differences in abundance and their relationships in water, sediment, and blood clams (Anadara granosa). This study was conducted in the waters off Sinaboi Beach, Rokan Hilir Regency, and continued at the Marine Chemistry Laboratory, Department of Marine Science, Faculty of Fisheries and Marine Sciences, Universitas Riau. The method used was a survey employing a purposive sampling approach. The results of this study indicate that the composition of microplastic types found in the waters of Sinaboi Beach included fibers, fragments, films, foams, and granules (pellets); however, in the sediments and blood clams, only granules (pellets) were found. The average abundance of microplastics in water, sediment, and blood clams was 1,467 particles/L, 1,299 particles/g, and 6,844 particles/g, respectively. Statistical analysis showed that the abundance of microplastics in water, sediment, and blood clams based on sampling stations did not differ significantly (p > 0.05). Microplastic abundance in blood clams differed significantly from that in water and sediment (p < 0.05), whereas the comparison between water and sediment showed nearly equivalent abundance levels (p > 0.05). The strongest relationship was found between microplastic abundance in blood clams and sediment, showing a moderate positive correlation

Abstract

The objective of this study is to identify the species and abundance in the water, sediment, and the lokan clam to determine differences in abundance among the water, sediment, and the lokan clam and to examine the relationship between abundance in the water and sediment and the abundance of the lokan clam. This study was conducted from October to December 2025 in the waters off Sinaboi Beach. The methods used in this study were a survey and purposive sampling, with samples collected directly at the study site. Sample analysis was performed at the Marine Chemistry Laboratory, Department of Marine Sciences, Faculty of Fisheries and Marine Sciences, Universitas Riau. Samples were collected from three types of test materials: water, sediment, and lokan clam from the waters off Sinaboi Beach. The results of the study showed that environmental parameters ranged from 7.38–8.20 for pH, 29–31°C for temperature, 24–29‰ for salinity, and 0.50–1.21 m/s for current velocity. Four types of microplastics were found in the water, sediment, and lokan clam: fibers, fragments, films, and foam. The average microplastic abundance in water was 0.45 particles/L. In sediment, it was 1.74 particles/g. The average microplastic abundance in lokan clam was 2.20 particles/g. Statistical analysis indicates a significant difference in microplastic abundance in water, sediment, and the lokan clam (p < 0.05). Microplastic abundance in sediment and the lokan clam shows a stronger correlation because clams are filter-feeding organisms that accumulate microplastics from sediment

Abstract

Mangrove forests play a crucial ecological role in coastal ecosystems. One of its ecological functions is that mangroves absorb and store carbon, thereby reducing carbon emissions. The increase in atmospheric CO2 levels is a result of human activities, both directly and indirectly. This study aims to assess mangrove stand density, determine differences in mangrove stand density and carbon stocks between stations, and examine the relationships between mangrove stand density and biomass, carbon stocks, and CO2 absorption in the mangrove area of ​​Selat Baru Village, Bengkalis Regency, Riau Province. This research was conducted in November 2024 in Selat Baru Village, Bengkalis Regency, Riau Province. The method used in this study was a survey. To determine the relationship between mangrove tree density and carbon stock, a regression test was performed. Mangrove Stand Density ranged from 877.78 - 1,211.11 ind/ha. Mangrove biomass ranged from 22.62 to 30.16 tons/ha. Carbon Stock ranges from 10.63-14.19 tons/ha. CO2 absorption ranges from 38.98-51.98 tons/ha. The density of mangrove stands and carbon stocks show a moderate relationship, as indicated by the correlation coefficient (r) of 0.736.

Abstract

Mangroves play an important role in maintaining coastal stability and supporting ecological functions in coastal waters. This study aimed to analyze differences in the growth of Rhizophora apiculata and R. mucronata under different sediment types at the Marine Station of Universitas Riau, Dumai. Observations were conducted for 10 weeks at two stations, namely sandy mud and mud sediments, using 24 mangrove seedlings with an initial height of ≥ 60 cm. The results showed significant differences in growth between mangrove species and between observation stations (p < 0.05). In sandy mud sediment, R. apiculata exhibited better growth (64.33 ± 3.92 mm; 7.20 ± 0.46 mm), whereas in mud sediment, R. mucronata showed more optimal growth (72.36 ± 7.54 mm; 7.87 ± 0.52 mm). Seedling survival reached 100% at both stations. These findings indicate that the suitability of mangrove species to sediment characteristics is an important consideration in mangrove rehabilitation efforts

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the types and abundance of microplastics in water and sediment between research stations and to examine differences in microplastic abundance across sediment depths in the coastal waters of Tanah Merah Village, Meranti Islands Regency. Samples were taken from three different locations: residential areas, fishing ports, and mangrove areas. The number of water and sediment samples from the three research stations was 27. Water quality parameters, including temperature, salinity, pH, and current velocity, were measured to assess the condition of the aquatic environment. The results showed that four types of microplastics were found, namely fragments, fibers, films, and pellets. The abundance of microplastics in seawater had an average value of 0.86 particles/L, with fragments being the most dominant type. Meanwhile, the abundance of microplastics in sediment had an average value of 1084.33 particles/kg of sediment, with fibers dominating. Based on sediment depth, the highest microplastic abundance was observed at station three in the 0-10 cm layer, with an average of 1010 particles/kg of sediment. The abundance of microplastics in water and sediment shows a significant difference. This is because there is a significant relationship between the abundance of microplastics in water and sediment

Abstract

This study aims to analyse the concentrations of Total Suspended Solids (TSS) and sediment organic matter, as well as their relationship, in the coastal waters of Bokor Village, Kepulauan Meranti Regency. The research was conducted from December 2024 to January 2025 using a survey method at three observation stations selected based on varying levels of human activity. TSS analysis was performed gravimetrically according to the Indonesian National Standard (SNI 6989.3:2019), while sediment organic matter was analysed using the Loss on Ignition (LOI) method. The results showed that TSS concentrations ranged from 10.4 to 17.56 mg/L and were within the good-quality standard for marine waters. The concentration of sediment organic matter ranged from 3.0% to 5.7%, which is categorised as low. A simple linear regression analysis indicated a weak positive correlation between TSS and sediment organic matter. This suggests that suspended solids account for only 10.1% of the variability in sediment organic matter, with the remaining variation influenced by other environmental factors.
