Abstract

Marine debris has become a serious threat for the coastal and marine environment. Their presence can degrade the quality of marine environments and also has negative impact on several aspects of people lives especially public health and aesthetics. Several efforts have been made, both short (to mitigate the impacts) and long terms (to manage them properly) efforts. Strategic action in waste management is very important in order to manage marine debris in Manado City; this is the objective of the research. In order to achieve the objective, several aspects on situation and condition of marine debris in Manado Bay has been described, and this include composition and density of debris at the coastal area, the quantity of the debris, waste management on land, the status of public awareness, the impact and degradation of marine debris in nature, institutional regulation, and waste management and planning. These aspects were analyzed to identify strengths and weaknesses before strategic actions for management are developed. The results showed that the composition, density, and quantity of marine debris in Manado Bay increased from 2017 to 2019. Waste management on land has been going well, the government institutions dealing with waste have been adequately arranged. Five strategic actions for waste management in Manado City to prevent the input of the waste to Manado Bay are proposed, they are: a) encouraging people to reduce the use of plastic-based products; b) involving people and community institution in waste management on land; c) increasing the activities of the community and community institution in keeping the environment (river, beach) clean; d) inviting the community and community institutions in working together to develop action programs which will be implemented jointly; and e) improvising the waste management according to existing regulations which include marine debris in specific management target and also incorporating rivers and other areas in waste management according to regulation.

Abstract

Mitigation of marine debris in Manado City, the city which is situation in front of the Manado bay, is very important in order to prevent its effect on the coastal communities and as well as for the aesthetics point of view. That activities can directly protect the ecosystem of Bunaken Marine Park (BMP), and can become an important part of the marine waste management activities especially in supporting the commitment of Indonesian government to reducing plastic waste in the sea by 70% by 2025. For this reason, a marine waste management is needed and it should be prepared based on the academic study that are comprehensive and holistic as well as effective and efficient, and also suitable for environmental condition in Manado City. The study was aimed to formulate best options for the existing marine waste management in Manado City. By using qualitative-descriptive and content-analysis methods, four aspects of managemet were studied, and they are 1) public awareness, 2) institutional arrangements, 3) regulations, policies and management plans, and 4) waste management guidelines. The data obtained were quantitatively and qualitatively analyzed. The public awarenes was qualitatively analyzed by using two indicators, community concern and community preference. The existing marine waste management was presented based on studied aspects and the best option was proposed as recommendation for marine waste management in Manado City.

Abstract

Cukuh Raya Beach coastal water is potentially polluted by organic materials from shrimp ponds. The purpose of this study was to determine the content of organic materials (ammonia [NH3], nitrate [NO3], phosphate [PO4], and fatty oil) discharged into the coastal waters and to examine the role of eco-enzymes in reducing the organic material levels. Two points of sampling were selected, i.e., 10 and 100 m from the pipeline outfall discharge of shrimp ponds. An experiment was carried out to compare the level of organic content before and after the eco-enzyme solutions were given. Sampling and technique analysis of seawater were done following the Indonesian National Standards. The data were analysed using the Indonesian quality standards for marine biota and the pollution index. The results showed that seawater samples from the coast contained organic waste, with the highest levels at 10 m from the outfall. The level of organic content decreased after the addition of eco-enzyme solutions. The conclusion is that the organic materials (ammonia, nitrate, phosphate, and fatty oil) were found in water samples in the waters of Cukuh Raya Beach and were moderately polluted by ammonia (NH3). The addition of an eco-enzyme solution can reduce the concentration of organic materials.

Abstract

Understanding the dynamics of surface currents in the Bangka Strait is crucial for various maritime and coastal activities. This strait connects Likupang, a super-priority tourism destination, with other islands in North Sulawesi. These activities include navigation safety, inter-island transportation, fisheries, search and rescue operations, and marine pollution control. This study investigated the characteristics of currents in the strait using a hydrodynamic model called Delft3D. The result revealed that the currents exhibit a tidal pattern, with dominant westward flow during floods and eastward flow during ebb. Maximum sea current velocity during spring tide in the second transition monsoon occurred in September 2022, with an average speed of 102.67 cm/s. Current ellipse analysis confirmed the tidal type of the currents.

Abstract

Coral reef community in Manado Bay is under pressure due to human activities in areas in and around Manado. In order to be able to wisely manage the bay area and the coral reefs in it, information about present conditions is needed. The use of marine organisms as bioindicators is one way to find information about the condition, and organisms such as foraminifera have the potential to be used as some species share the same requirement for water quality as the corals. Sampling for the foraminifera was carried out at 10 locations, and the depth of water ranged from 2.5 m to 7.0 m. The samples obtained were washed through a 63 μm sieve and dried. The separation of foraminifera tests from other sediments was done under a stereomicroscope and they were then identified to genus level. A total of 40 genera was identified among 3194 specimens. To get the FoRAM Index value, the foraminifera was categorized into three functional groups. 8 genera were categorized as symbiont-bearing group, 8 as opportunistic group, and 29 as heterotrophic group. FoRAM Index was found to be varied from 2.06 to 9.19 which indicated that Manado Bay water condition is also varied among the sampling area. In general based on the data obtained, it is assumed that water in Manado Bay is conducive for coral reef growth.

Abstract

Macroalgae is one of the potential biological resources in Indonesian waters that has many important roles, from an ecological to an economic perspective. The aim of this research is to analyse the structure of macroalgae communities found in the waters of Kumeke Island, East Bolaang Mongondow Regency, Indonesia. The method used in this research is a survey with descriptive data analysis. Determining the sampling station point is carried out by purposive sampling, namely by selecting an area based on the presence of macroalgae. Macroalgae sampling used the line transect method with a quadratic sampling technique with a size of 1.5 x 1.5 m. The research results showed that the types of macroalgae found were 11 species, consisting of 3 species of Chlorophyta, 4 species of Phaeophyta, and 4 species of Rhodophyta. The density of macroalgae species is dominated by Rhodophyta (38%), Phaeophyta (31%), and Chlorophyta (30%). The total density of macroalgae is 9–46 ind/m². The diversity index ranges from 1.154 to 2.234 in the medium category, the uniformity index ranges from 0.481 to 0.932 in the high category, and the dominance index ranges from 0.114 to 0.338 in the low category.

Abstract

The difference in fishermen's catches each year tends to fluctuate at different fishing locations; this is due to the still low efficiency and productivity of fishing efforts. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the performance of tuna handline businesses operated in fish aggregating device areas at fishing grounds in FMAs 713 and 714. The results show that in the period of 2020-2023, the development of catch rates each year fluctuated, while the average value of catch rates for each vessel based on the highest season occurred in the East Season and the lowest in the Transition Season I. Likewise, the average catch rate based on the time of the month of capture is highest in June, July, and November. The results of the analysis of production factors that influence the catch are the time of the month of fishing, fuel use, ice use, and number of crew members, while the factors of trip length, ship GT, and engine capacity do not have a direct influence. The information from this evaluation is very much needed by fishermen and stakeholders to optimise the performance of tuna handlines in fish-aggregating device areas.

Abstract

Rumpon, as a fish-aggregating device, has long been used by tuna handline fishermen in Bone Bay, South Sulawesi Province, Indonesia. Information on the characteristics of tuna handline fishing in the area is very limited and is very much needed as study material for tuna fishing strategies and fisheries policies. This research aims to understand the results of handline catches and sustainable solutions for tuna fisheries in rumpon areas. The data used is the result of observations using 19 ships based at PPI Lonrae and data collection for 5 years (2018-2022). The results show that the composition of the main catch is dominated by yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares), bigeye tuna (Thunnus obesus), and skipjack tuna (Katsuwonus pelamis). In general, the size of fish that are not suitable for catching for the yellowfin tuna, bigeye tuna, and skipjack tuna, consecutively, is 54.0%, 45.1%, and 31.9%. This finding further clarifies that the percentage of tuna and skipjack tuna that are not suitable for catching is still very large. Continuous and large-scale fishing of juvenile tuna could cause fish resources to continue to decline in the future. Technically, what fishermen need to understand is, in addition to the strategy of lowering fishing gear deeper, the time of fishing and the type of bait used.
