The interaction between algae and coral is one of the most important of ecological processes in coral reef ecosystems. They are one of the main food sources in a large number of herbivorous animals in coral reef ecosystems. Makroalgae is also a major competitor in degrading coral reefs at a time when macroalgae gains dominate the coral reefs. Algae growth is relatively very fast, so it can be used as an indicator in the initial study to determine the processes that affect populations and coral reef communities. The purpose of this study is to determine the distribution of macroalgae cover on coral reefs in the Nusa Penida, Bali using the transect quadrant (1x1m2)x 100m method. This study shows that the lowest macroalgae cover at Crystal Bay and the highest in Buyuk can be concluded that the high macroalgae cover is made possible by the large supply of nutrients from the land which becomes the supplier of organic materials that increases the fertility of waters, meanwhile in the waters close to the high seas obtain additional nutrients derived from the lifting of the water mass (upwelling). Data and information are needed for the interest of regional planning towards the future related to the management and utilization of marine resources potential in the coastal area in Nusa Penida, Bali.Interaksi antara alga dan karang merupakan hal terpenting dari proses ekologi pada ekosistem terumbu karang. Mereka merupakan salah satu sumber produsen primer pada sejumlah besar hewan herbivora pada ekosistem terumbu karang. Makroalga juga menjadi pesaing utama dalam mendegradasi terumbu karang pada saat kelimpahaan makroalga mendominasi terhadap terumbu karang. Pertumbuhan alga tergolong sangat cepat, sehingga dapat digunakan sebagai indikator dalam studi awal untuk mengetahui proses yang mempengaruhi populasi dan komunitas terumbu karang. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah mengetahui sebaran tutupan makroalga pada terumbu karang di daerah utama wisata penyelaman Nusa Penida, Bali dengan menggunakan metode transek kuadran dengan ukuran (1x1m2) x 100 m. Penelitian ini menunjukan bahwa tutupan makroalga terendah pada Crystal Bay dan tertinggi di Buyuk dapat ditarik kesimpulan jika tingginya tutupan makroalga dimungkinkan oleh besarnya suplai nutrien daratan yang menjadi pensuplai bahan organik yang meningkatkan kesuburan perairan. Sedangkan pada  perairan yang dekat dengan laut lepas mendapat tambahan nutrien yang berasal dari pengangkatan massa air (upwelling). Data dan informasi ini diperlukan untuk kepentingan perencanaan pengembangan wilayah ke depannya yang terkait dengan pengelolaan dan pemanfaatan potensi sumberdaya laut di wilayah pesisir di Nusa Penida, Bali.

Coral reefs are the most productive ecosystems on Earth. They ensure the conservation of biodiversity and are a live habitat for 25% of all marine organisms. The main relationship on the coral reef is the symbiosis between corals and algae from the genus Symbiodinium (commonly called zooxanthellae). The authors of this publication have characterized and described the factors limiting the occurrence of coral reefs, including: water temperature, salinity, access to sunlight, contamination, physicochemical and hydromechanical parameters of water. Moreover anthropogenic threats to coral reefs have been specified, including diving tourism, ecological disasters (e.g. oil spills) and the development of marine aquaristics. Rapid changes in the basic living conditions are dangerous for corals and their symbionts and may cause the unsuitability of the new environment resulting in diseases such as coral bleaching. Corals bleaching is a disease associated with the break of the coral and algae relationship which results in a coral reef death on a global scale. Awareness of these negative factors, often related to human activity, may allow us to better understand the ecological processes that are the basis of reef functioning and might enable us to prevent and oppose to the changes and ecological recessions of coral reefs.

Abstract. Kartikasari A, Pristianto T, Hanintyo R, Ampou EE, Wibawa TA, Borneo BB. 2021. Representative benthic habitat mapping on Lovina coral reefs in Northern Bali, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 22: 4766-4774. Satellite optical imagery datasets integrated with in situ measurements are widely used to derive the spatial distribution of various benthic habitats in coral reef ecosystems. In this study, an approach to estimate spatial coverage of those habitats based on observation derived from Sentinel-2 optical imagery and a field survey, is presented. This study focused on the Lovina coral reef ecosystem of Northern Bali, Indonesia to support deployment of artificial reefs within the Indonesian Coral Reef Garden (ICRG) programme. Three specific locations were explored: Temukus, Tukad Mungga, and Baktiseraga waters. Spatial benthic habitat coverages of these three waters was estimated based on supervised classification techniques using 10m bands of Sentinel-2 imagery and the medium scale approach (MSA) transect method of in situ measurement.The study indicates that total coverage of benthic habitat is 61.34 ha, 25.17 ha, and 27.88 ha for Temukus, Tukad Mungga, and Baktiseraga waters, respectively. The dominant benthic habitat of those three waters consists of sand, seagrass, coral, rubble, reef slope and intertidal zone. The coral reef coverage is 29.48 ha (48%) for Temukus covered by genus Acropora, Isopora, Porites, Montipora, Pocillopora. The coverage for Tukad Mungga is 8.69 ha (35%) covered by genus Acropora, Montipora, Favia, Psammocora, Porites, and the coverage for Baktiseraga is 11.37 ha (41%) covered by genus Montipora sp, Goniastrea, Pavona, Platygyra, Pocillopora, Porites, Acropora, Leptoseris, Acropora, Pocillopora, Fungia. The results are expected to be suitable as supporting data in restoring coral reef ecosystems in the northern part of Bali, especially in Buleleng District.

Abstract. Coral reefs serve as natural barriers that protect adjacent shorelines from coastal hazards such as storms, waves, and erosion. Projections indicate global degradation of coral reefs due to anthropogenic impacts and climate change will cause a transition to net erosion by mid-century. Here, we provide a comprehensive assessment of the combined effect of all of the processes affecting seafloor accretion and erosion by measuring changes in seafloor elevation and volume for five coral reef ecosystems in the Atlantic, Pacific, and Caribbean over the last several decades. Regional-scale mean elevation and volume losses were observed at all five study sites and in 77 % of the 60 individual habitats that we examined across all study sites. Mean seafloor elevation losses for whole coral reef ecosystems in our study ranged from −0.09 to −0.8 m, corresponding to net volume losses ranging from 3.4  ×  106 to 80.5  ×  106 m3 for all study sites. Erosion of both coral-dominated substrate and non-coral substrate suggests that the current rate of carbonate production is no longer sufficient to support net accretion of coral reefs or adjacent habitats. We show that regional-scale loss of seafloor elevation and volume has accelerated the rate of relative sea level rise in these regions. Current water depths have increased to levels not predicted until near the year 2100, placing these ecosystems and nearby communities at elevated and accelerating risk to coastal hazards. Our results set a new baseline for projecting future impacts to coastal communities resulting from degradation of coral reef systems and associated losses of natural and socioeconomic resources.

According to the 1993 colloquium on the ‘Global status of coral reefs', our understanding of the global role of coral reefs is inadequate. To increase our understanding, an accurate large-scale mapping and monitoring programme is necessary. Historically, coastal zones have been mapped using traditional surveying tools such as topographic maps, nautical charts, existing aerial photographs and direct observations. Although less expensive than digital imagery, exclusive use of these traditional tools may not be practical for monitoring large or remote coral reef ecosystems accurately. Researchers are attempting to develop an adequate coral reef mapping system based on digital remote sensing, but are impeded by issues such as effects of the intervening water column and spectral distinction of bottom types. The two variables discussed, which will contribute to our understanding of the global role of coral reefs, are: 1) remote sensing of submerged coral reefs in general; and 2) remote sensing of coral bleaching in particular. A summary of radiative transfer theory is presented and case studies of attempts at mapping remotely the geographic extent and health of submerged ecosystems, as well as a discussion of the remote estimation of water depth and quality. Problems in the translation and delivery of information to the end user are presented, and possible solutions suggested.

Abstrak Echinodermata berperan penting pada ekosistem terumbu karang sebagai bagian dari jejaring makanan. Mereka dapat bersifat herbivora, karnivora, dan/atau omnivora. Kerusakan terumbu karang di Pantai Meras akhir-akhir ini dapat mengancam Echinodermata. Informasi tentang diversitas Echinodermata di Pantai Meras masih sedikit. Oleh karena itu, penelitian tentang diversitas Echinodermata perlu dilakukan di Pantai Meras, Kecamatan Bunaken, Sulawesi Utara. Pengambilan sampel pada tiap lokasi dilakukan pada saat surut terendah dengan menarik 3 garis transek (masing-masing 100 meter) secara vertikal dari garis pantai ke arah laut. Petak kuadrat (1 x 1 meter) diletakkan dengan jarak antar kuadrat yaitu 10 meter. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Echinodermata hidup pada habitat padang lamun, pasir dan terumbu karang baik yang hidup maupun mati. Total species yang ditemukan yaitu 8 spesies yang termasuk anggota dari 3 kelas. Kelas Asteroidea (bintang laut) sebanyak 3 spesies, Echinoidea sebanyak 4 spesies dan Kelas Holothuroidea sebanyak 1 spesies. Diversitas Echinodermata di Pantai Meras adalah antara rendah hingga sedang dengan nilai indeks diversitas Shannon-Wiener (H’) berkisar antara 0,48 – 1,31. Kata kunci: Diversitas Echinodermata, Pantai Meras, Sulawesi Utara Abstract Echinoderms have important role in coral reef ecosystems as part of the food webs. They may be herbivores, carnivores, and/or omnivores. Coral reefs destruction in Meras Beach lately can threaten Echinoderms. There was little information about Echinoderms diversity of Meras Beach. Therefore, research on Echinoderms diversity needs to be done on the Meras Beach, Bunaken District, North Sulawesi. Sampling was carried out at each location at the lowest tide. There were 3 line transects (each 100 meters) located vertically from the shoreline towards the sea. The square plots (1 x 1 meter) placed distance between plots was 10 meters. The results showed that Echinoderms occupied different habitat i.e. sea grass, sand, live and/or coral reefs. Total species found 8 species belong to members of the 3 classes. Asteroidea Class (starfish),  Echinoidea Class and Holothuroidea were respectively 3 species, 4 species and 1 species. Echinoderms diversity on the Meras Beach were low to moderate with Shannon-Wiener diversity index (H ') was 0.48 to 1.31.

Background Effective biodiversity monitoring is fundamental in tracking changes in ecosystems as it relates to commercial, recreational, and conservation interests. Current approaches to survey coral reef ecosystems center on the use of indicator species and repeat surveying at specific sites. However, such approaches are often limited by the narrow snapshot of total marine biodiversity that they describe and are thus hindered in their ability to contribute to holistic ecosystem-based monitoring. In tandem, environmental DNA (eDNA) and next-generation sequencing metabarcoding methods provide a new opportunity to rapidly assess the presence of a broad spectrum of eukaryotic organisms within our oceans, ranging from microbes to macrofauna. Methods We here investigate the potential for rapid universal metabarcoding surveys (RUMS) of eDNA in sediment samples to provide snapshots of eukaryotic subtropical biodiversity along a depth gradient at two coral reefs in Okinawa, Japan based on 18S rRNA. Results Using 18S rRNA metabarcoding, we found that there were significant separations in eukaryotic community assemblages (at the family level) detected in sediments when compared across different depths ranging from 10 to 40 m (p = 0.001). Significant depth zonation was observed across operational taxonomic units assigned to the class Demospongiae (sponges), the most diverse class (contributing 81% of species) within the phylum Porifera; the oldest metazoan phylum on the planet. However, zonation was not observed across the class Anthozoa (i.e., anemones, stony corals, soft corals, and octocorals), suggesting that the former may serve as a better source of indicator species based on sampling over fine spatial scales and using this universal assay. Furthermore, despite their abundance on the examined coral reefs, we did not detect any octocoral DNA, which may be due to low cellular shedding rates, assay sensitivities, or primer biases. Discussion Overall, our pilot study demonstrates the importance of exploring depth effects in eDNA and suggest that RUMS may be applied to provide a baseline of information on eukaryotic marine taxa at coastal sites of economic and conservation importance.

Gili Matra Aquatic Tourism Park has two conservation targets, namely biological targets and social, cultural and economic targets. Coral reef ecosystems, apart from being a conservation target, are also an attraction for tourists to visit. This research was conducted to determine the condition of the coral reef ecosystem to be used as the basis for the management of conservation areas. The research was conducted by collecting coral reef data either through surveys or secondary data from the results of previous studies. Coral reef survey using the standard Line Intercept Transect method. The survey results show that the condition of coral reefs in the utilization zone is better than the core zone. Live coral cover in the utilization zone reached 71% so it was categorized as good, while in the core zone it only reached 8% so it was categorized as bad. Coral reefs in the core zone are unable to recover even though the number of tourists has decreased during the Covid-19 pandemic. Therefore, the location of the core zone on Gili Air needs to be evaluated further so that the effectiveness of Gili Matra TWP management can be improved.  Key words: coral reefs; Gili Matra; Conservation

Mapping of the potential of coral reefs on the coast of the Madura Strait is evaluated. The coral mapping purposes are to evaluated a total area of the coral reefs in line with the current condition. The index of the area of coral reefs on the coast of the Madura Strait was also compiled to produce a database of the parameters that affect to the coral reefs growths. The imaga data processed is using Landsat. Maping data processing methos is using Lyzinge Algorithm since the area has shallow water area characteristics. The area of coral reef substrate identified according to the processed image is 10.478.032 Ha. The Landsat 7 satellite imagery has an ability to detect the characteristics of shallow waters using blue channels with wavelengths of 0.45-0.52 µm and green channels with wavelengths of 0.52-0.60 µm. However, to determine the condition and how severe the damage to coral reefs, detection with satellite imagery is not enough so that direct observation is needed through scuba diving activities. Scuba diving is carried out to determine the condition of coral reefs. Roughly, coral reef ecosystems in the objects are categorized as moderate to damaged. The damage to this coral reef ecosystem identified at the depths of 5 and 10 meters. Pemetaan potensi terumbu karang dilakukan di area pesisir Selat Madura. Pemetaan ini dilukan dengan memanfaatkan data citra satelit dari Landsat 7 dan pengolahan data menggunakan metode Algoritma Lyzinge. Studi ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui cakupan luas dari sebaran terumbu karang serta kondisi terumbu karang. Indeks dari area terumbu karang dipetakan dan disusun untuk selanjutkan digunakan sebagai basis data yang berisi tentang informasi yang mengadung parameter – parameter yang berpengaruh terhadap pertumbuhan terumbu karang. Dalam penelitian ini, terumbu karang ditemukan di perairan dangkal yang jernih. Citra satelit Landsat 7 memiliki sensor yang dapat mendeteksi karakteristik perairan dangkal dengan memanfaatkan saluran/ kanal biru dengan panjang gelombang 0,45-0,52 µm dan saluran/ kanal hijau dengan panjang gelombang 0,52-0,60 µm. Namun, untuk mengetahui kondisi dan tingkat kerusakan terumbu karang, pendeteksian dengan citra satelit tidaklah cukup sehingga diperlukan pengamatan secara langsung melalui aktivitas penyelaman scuba. Hasil yang diperoleh dari penelitian ini adalah luas substrat terumbu karang adalah 10,478.032 Ha. Hasil dari scuba diving menunjukkan bahwa secra umum ekosistem terumbu karang di perairan Selat Madura berada dalam kondisi sedang hingga rusak. Kerusakan ekosistem terumbu karang ini terjadi pada kedalaman 5 dan 10 meter.
