Abstract Sunda strait is one of the strategic waters in Indonesia situated at the Indonesian archipelagic sea lane passage. The water is also known as one of the national strategic regions as governed in the Presidential Decree of 32/2019 about marine spatial planning. The coasts of the region have been developed as industrial areas, marine tourism and associated facilities, fisheries, agriculture, mining, etc. Despite the huge economic potency, Sunda Strait has high coastal hazards due to volcanic and tectonic activities. The Krakatau volcanic eruption in 1883 generated a tsunami run-up to ∼35 m high causing catastrophic damage along the coasts of Banten and Lampung and more than 36.000 people were reported killed. More recently, the eruption and flank collapse of the Anak Krakatau volcano generated a tsunami in the Sunda Strait causing severe damage, extensive inundation, and more than 430 deaths. Likewise, the Sunda Strait has a high potency of tsunami impacts generated by the earthquake sourced from the subduction zone known as megathrust. These conditions must become a valued lesson learned to all of us to raise awareness and preparedness through mitigation-based disaster management. Thus, we can reduce the impacts of the disaster and the high investment for post-disaster rehabilitation and reconstruction.

AbstractSeagrass meadows are an important component of coastal ecosystems globally, and they capture and store organic carbon in living biomass and sediments. Geographical estimates of blue carbon in seagrass habitats are regionally biased, with limited information from the Indo-Pacific region, including Indonesia. Seagrass extent in Indonesia is declining rapidly, and it has been suggested that marine protected areas (MPAs) are an important instrument to support protection of seagrass ecosystems and their services. Thus, this study is aimed at quantifying and comparing sedimentary carbon stocks and sources of organic carbon from seagrass meadows located in undisturbed areas outside MPA, disturbed areas outside MPA, and within MPA in three small islands in Indonesia. The sediment carbon stocks from this study ranged from 19.81 to 117.49 Mg C ha−1, with the highest stock measured inside MPA (77.15 ± 1.38 Mg C ha−1), followed by undisturbed outside MPA (36.08 Mg C ha−1), and the lowest stock at disturbed outside MPA (21.86 ± 0.31 Mg C ha−1). The predominant source of organic carbon in disturbed meadows was from coastal POM (particulate organic matter, ~ 36%), while in MPA and undisturbed sites, the main source was from seagrass, with ~ 38% and ~ 60% contributions, respectively. The results of this study add more data and information on seagrass blue carbon potential from three different islands with different degrees of disturbance in Indonesia.

Abstract Mangroves, as one of the important blue carbon ecosystems, store large amounts of organic carbon. In the last decades, carbon stock assessment in mangrove ecosystems has been increased intensely following international agreements targeted at reducing global carbon emission. Many studies have investigated carbon stock potential in mangrove ecosystems, however, little is known about carbon stocks of mangroves growing in carbonate setting in small islands. These marine mangroves usually receive little or no terrestrial input, thus may have limited nutrient availability to support their growth. Meanwhile, their contribution to a global carbon inventory cannot be neglected. Here, we assessed biomass carbon stock of marine mangroves in Kepulauan Seribu, Jakarta, by using published allometric equations. Data collection was conducted in seven small islands; Burung Island, Kongsi Island, Pari Island, Lancang Besar Island, Lancang Kecil Island, Pramuka Island, and Rambut Island. The total average aboveground carbon stock was 46.68 Mg C ha−1, with Rhizopora sp. as the dominant species. The highest carbon stock was measured in Pari Island (72.1 ± 30.4 C ha−1), followed by Lancang Kecil Island (62.4 ± 38.6 Mg C ha−1), Kongsi Island (54.1 ± 27.0 Mg C ha−1), Rambut Island (52.1 ± 21.6 Mg C ha-1), Burung Island (47.9 ± 21.0 Mg C ha−1), Lancang Besar Island (31.3 ± 13.8 Mg C ha−1), and the lowest was in Pramuka Island (6.8 ± 4.8 Mg C ha-1). Mangrove aboveground carbon in these islands were comparable to those in other areas. Having thousands of small islands, Indonesia thus has a significant contribution to global climate change mitigation.

Water availability and management for water security on small islands are critical. The purpose of this research is to uncover the water resources issue at a small island community level as well as discourse on the potential threats and sustainable management for water security. Tunda Island, located in the Java Sea, is one of 81 small islands in Banten Province, Indonesia. Data were collected through focus group discussions, open interviews with key persons, direct field observations, and secondary data gathering. Moreover, we analyzed time series climate data, particularly rainfall and population growth projections, based on data from official Indonesian government sites. The monthly mean precipitation is ranging from a low of 48 mm/month in August to a high of 292 mm/month in January. A “surplus of water” occurs from November to May, while months with a “deficit of water” occur from June to October. The majority of the community is unaware of the water security issue due to a lack of information and knowledge in the community. Some threats to the sustainability of water resources would be caused by two factors, both anthropogenical and natural: rising water demand, diminishing groundwater reserves due to population growth and tourism activities on the island, drought, sea level rise, and seawater intrusion as climate-related impacts due to increasing population growth and tourism activities on the island and drought, sea level rise and seawater intrusion as climate-related impacts. Developing community knowledge and awareness of water security is the main issue that should be handled first, coinciding with sustainable management practices that consider water use efficiency, the use of alternative water sources (e.g., rainwater harvesting), and protecting and restoring coastal ecosystems, especially for the future tourist destination.

Abstract The fishing port is an important supporting facility for achieving high-quality of fishery production. Maintaining the quality of fishery products is needed by optimizing the function of fishing ports as they are the cutting edge and a prime mover in the management and utilization of fish resources and port environment, ranging from preproduction, production, processing, and marketing. On the other hand, the fishing port has various environmental problems such as waste management, water quality degradation and liquid waste management. The objective of this study is to identify the solid waste input to a fishing port by using remote sensing approach. The research was conducted in Karangantu Fishing Port (Pelabuhan Perikanan Nusantara Karangantu), located in Serang, Banten. This study shows that the high-resolution satellite imagery was proven to be able to estimate the solid waste input to the fishing port area. The result shows that solid waste input to Karangantu Fishing Port was estimated to be 142.95 tons in 2020, which was derived from office activities, shipping activities, and tourist activities surrounding fishing port area. The method approach from this study is expected to support environmental management in the other fishing port areas.

Abstract Marine debris pollution has become an important issue in recent years. It has an impact on marine environment and marine life, as well as effecting human health. The objective of this study was to identify the composition of waste that was produced from the fishermen’s activities. The research was conducted in Cikidang Fishing Port, Pangandaran. The data of waste types from fishing vessel were grouped based on the vessel’s dimension. The result show that plastics dominated the waste composition, and based on the vessel dimension when compared the amount of waste generated, the amount of waste from one day fishing (small vessel) was greater than the ten days fishing (big vessel). The amount of waste generated from small vessel was 0.009 tons-1.vessel-1.year-1, meanwhile from big vessel was 0.09 tons-1.vessel-1.years-1. This indicates that the fishers habit to dispose waste not in the right place can become a potential source of marine debris pollution. Maintaining the quality of fishery products is very important starting from improving the fisherman behaviour to the fishing port facilities to achieve the sustainability fishery product.

Abstract The interaction between offshore waves and complex reef bottom profiles determines the hydrodynamic processes within the reef beaches, for instance, Sea-Swell (SS) wave dissipation, Infragravity (IG) wave generation as well as wave-induced currents and setups. These hydrodynamics phenomena are important to several ecological processes and control the associated shoreline erosion and flooding. Hence, a good understanding of the dynamics is needed that wave observations are challenging and expensive otherwise. Here we present a short term (12 hours) investigation of non-directional spectral waves using a series of HOBO pressure sensors. Six pressure sensors were deployed at 3 locations along the fringing reefs of Tunda Island, Banten Province - Indonesia. The wave spectra were estimated from the surface water fluctuations using linear wave theory for each hourly burst data. During observation, the Tunda waters were calm with significant wave heights were less than 10 cm with peak wave periods of ∼12 s at all sites. Despite the short period measurement due to memory issue, the result demonstrated the ability of HOBO pressure sensors to measure non-directional wave spectra at shallow water.

Abstract As an attempt in the improvement of economic interest and areal quality, Sunda Strait is appointed as a National Strategic Area. The strait is quite a busy passage for commerce vessels and also acts as link between provinces. The 2018 tsunami event that affect this area has reminded us the importance of coastal area planning based on disaster mitigation. Panimbang District is one of the areas heavily affected by the tsunami, where the population reside and having their livelihoods around the coast, hence coastal area planning of Panimbang is very much needed. This research was conducted to see the condition of Panimbang District coastal area after the tsunami and how the existing national planning policies is in sync with planning policies at regional level in terms of disaster mitigation. Results of spatial analysis show that coastal areas have not adapted and mitigated optimally, we can see some settlements and tourist areas around coastal area are not heeding the policy on protecting coastal areas, this could happened due to lack of law enforcement or lack of socialization to the local community. This paper might provide recommendation to the local government in arranging coastal protection to keep the residential areas and essential infrastructure safe by making the structural and non-structural approaches.

Abstract Citarum River, which ended up in Muaragembong, Bekasi Regency-West Java Province, is known recently as one of the most polluted rivers globally, including pollution caused by plastic litter. This research was conducted in the surrounding river, estuary, and mangrove ecosystem in Muaragembong, which aimed to determine macro debris and analyze its impact on the coastal ecosystem. Marine debris sampling in the mangrove ecosystem was done by line transect, while the net using for marine debris sampling surrounding river and estuary. The result showed that debris composition in Muaragembong consisted of 80% inorganic and 20% organic, where plastic debris dominated with 50-81% and was distributed throughout the estuary and mangrove ecosystem. The highest density was found in the mangrove ecosystem in the Kali Mati Estuary (Pantai Sederhana Village) with 222.67 waste/m2, while the heaviest waste was found in the Bendera Estuary (Pantai Bahagia Village) 4,663.64 grams/m2. This condition explained the lack of marine debris management in the Muaragembong estuary, where most inorganic debris originated from household litter. This research also supports data and information for baseline Indonesia’s marine plastic debris due to comprehensive data needed to reduce 70% of marine plastic debris by 2025.

The fishing ground is identical and closely related to chlorophyll-a abundance in the waters, associated with its fisheries potential. This research has been conducted to determine the concentration and distribution of chlorophyll-a in the seas, especially in the Fisheries Management Area (FMA) 712 encompassing the Java Sea. The analysis used monthly time-series data collected from the satellite imagery over the last 11 years, taken through the ERDDAP website. The mean concentration of chlorophyll-a in the study area was 1.13 mg/l in June 2013. Based on 11 years of data processing, it can be concluded that the highest concentration of chlorophyll-a occurred in the west monsoon season from November to April, where increased rainfall caused the nutrient wash from terrestrial to the open waters. The lowest chlorophyll-a concentration happened in the east monsoon season from April to November, where the dry season arrived. The existence of pelagic fishes in FMA 712, such as Sardinella Lemurs and Sardinella Fimbriata, in waters highly influenced by the chlorophyll-a concentration, while Thunnus Sp. and Exocoetidae Sp. not affected significantly to the existence of chlorophyll-a concentration and its distribution.

Marine debris pollution can threaten the sustainability of natural resources in coastal regions ecosystem. Marine debris is worldwide issue now and Indonesia considered as a second biggest polluter of plastic to the world ocean. Massive efforts have been applied to tackle marine debris, both by the central government and provincial level, to manage these problems and minimize the impact on the coastal ecosystem. Various types of marine debris threaten the mangrove and seagrass ecosystem by covering its roots and leaves, slowing down its growth rate, and even killing them. The aim of this research is to identify the composition of marine debris in estuary waters and mangrove ecosystem. The research activity was conducted in Muaragembong, Bekasi Regency, which is considered part of Jakarta Bay as the source of the marine debris site. The result showed that the marine debris composition during the east monsoon (July) was dominated by plastic with 71%, while during the transition east-to-west monsoon (November) ranged from 59% and equally distributed surrounding estuary waters and mangrove ecosystem. Fifteen types of macro plastic were found in waters in July, larger than those found in November (13 types). The predominant type of macro plastic is Styrofoam, followed by crackle plastic, sachets, and straws, most of which are single-use plastics that are transported to the estuary and then trapped in the mangrove ecosystem.

Abstract Climate change phenomenon has occurred equally and globally all over the world during the last century, including Indonesia, which known as an archipelagic country with more than 17.000 islands, where most of the island considered as small islands. Lembeh Island known by its high biodiversity in marine resources, especially coral reef which associated with other coastal ecosystems such as mangrove and seagrasses and create a healthy environment. Seagrasses as a blue carbon ecosystem can be functioned as a carbon absorber from the atmosphere and storage in the sediment, and supported the climate change mitigation act in Indonesia. Based on field observation, Lembeh Island region has seven species from possible twelve seagrass species found in Indonesia. Enhalus acoroides and Thalassia Hemprichii dominated the seagrass existence in Lembeh Island with certain characteristics live in a sandy substrate, muddy area or coral reefs. Seagrass in Lembeh Island has potency on biomass carbon as much as 0.96 ± 1.327 MgCha−1 (mostly autochthonous), which lower than the potency of carbon stored in sediment reached more than 40 MgCha−1 (mostly allochthonous). Seagrass ecosystem play an important role in climate change mitigation act and should be supported, developed and collaborated with other coastal ecosystems sucha as coral reefs and mangroves.

Abstract Natural disasters in coastal areas and small islands in Indonesia occurred several times in the last decade. Banten Province coastal region was directly affected by the tsunami waves last December 2018 due to the Anak Krakatau Volcano’s activities, covering Pandeglang and Serang Regencies. Regional and spatial planning in a coastal buffer zone is mandated by laws and regulations, both central and local, but still sometimes neglected. The spatial analysis was carried out by identifying land use/cover in Banten Province coastal area using high and medium resolution images acquired from the Google Earth website. The results of the land use/cover map observations, which validated with field data, showed that the built-up area from the tourism sector in the form of buildings, facilities, and infrastructures dominate the coastal buffer zone, both in Pandeglang and Serang Regencies, especially in Anyer District (22.3 ha), Carita District (10.7 ha), and Cinangka District (7.2 ha). Moreover, human settlements and supporting public facilities also contribute and dominate the built-up area on the coastal buffer zone in Panimbang District (15.8 ha) and Sumur District (6.4 ha). Implementation of a coastal buffer zone in a vulnerable area such as Banten Province should be evaluated to minimize the impact in the future.

Abstract Derawan Island, with an area of 35.99 hectares, is a small island in Derawan Archipelago, located in Berau Regency, East Kalimantan Province. The waters in the Derawan archipelago rich in biodiversities such as coral reefs, mangroves, and seagrasses, so designated as a conservation area in 2016 and currently known as marine tourism destinations in Kalimantan, which contribute to the economy. Tourism in the Derawan islands increased significantly along with supporting infrastructures such as hotels, restaurants, and jetties. A study on jetty facilities conducted by comparing the changes of jetties infrastructure in Derawan island, wherein 2003, the jetties area was 6,977 m2, while in 2018, about 66,011 m2. Changes of jetties area mostly occurred in the western and southern parts of the island due to safety reasons, bathymetry, and hydrodynamic conditions. This condition raised an issue concerning water quality, aesthetics, and natural condition, decreasing its beauty and impact on the tourism sector. Spatial analysis for jetty distribution using GIS carried out and resulted in recommendations where the maximum number of jetties needed was five units with a length of about 70 m towards the sea. This recommendation may also be used to provide an alternative location for a jetty in Derawan Island in the future.

Abstract Derawan Island is an island with an area of 45 ha, it categorized as a small island and part of Derawan Islands archipelago located in East Kalimantan province. It designated as a conservation area by the decision of Berau District Head No. 516 of 2013 concerning the Reservation of Coastal Conservation Areas and Small Islands. Derawan Island, also known as the National Tourism Destination (DPN) based on its coral reefs diversity that considered adjacent to the Coral Triangle Initiative (CTI). The increase of Tourist visits to Derawan Islands since 2000, which affected land cover changes in Derawan Island coast such as for lodging, jetty and other infrastructure. Changes in land cover together with natural coastal processes causing abrasion in the west, and east sides, while accretion in the southeast side of the island. Land cover change especially built-up area from 2003 to 2018 is 6.25% per year. Observations and analyzes using DSAS (Digital Coastline Analysis System) conducted in 2003, 2011 and 2018 illustrates coastline change which shown by abrasion an accretion along Derawan Island. Abrasion trends increased from 2003, 2011 and 2018 with the highest abrasion rate up to 12.4 m / year, which occurred on the west side, while the highest accretion rate was 2.46 m / year on the southeast side. Based on several considerations and conditions, it is highly recommended that the coastal border for utilization in the islands is around 15 m.
