ABSTRAK Echinodermata merupakan salah satu phylum yang memiliki peranan penting di perairan terumbu karang, seperti ditemukan di Perairan Pulau Menjangan Kecil. Peranan Bulu Babi di ekosistem terumbu karang berkaitan dengan pengendalian ekspansi algae. Penelitian dilaksanakan pada tanggal 19 dan 20 November 2016, dengan tujuan untuk mengetahui penyebaran Bulu Babi serta kelimpahan Bulu Babi pada kedalaman dan antar lokasi yang berbeda. Metode yang digunakan adalah metode eksplanatif. Stasiun pengukuran terdapat di zona muka dan belakang pulau yang terdapat terumbu karang, masing-masing stasiun dengan kedalaman yang berbeda. Pola penyebaran Bulu Babi dapat diketahui menggunakan formula ID= S2/  , berdasarkan rumus tersebut diketahui nilai ID (indeks dispersion) tiap kedalaman di dua lokasi yang berbeda. Hasil ID pada Lokasi A berbeda pada kedalaman 0-90cm dan 90-140cm ID < 1, sedangkan kedalaman 140-170cm dan >170cm ID > 1. Hasil ID lokasi B pada empat kedalaman yang berbeda yaitu ID>1. Berdasarkan hasil ID tersebut dapat diketahui bagaimana pola penyebaran. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa Bulu Babi di Pulau Menjangan Kecil sebagian besar hidup mengelompok pada kedalaman yang ekosistem terumbu karang masih cukup baik. Kata Kunci: Pulau Menjangan Kecil; Penyebaran; Kelimpahan; Bulu Babi ABSTRACT Echinoderm is one of the phylum that has an important role in the waters of the coral reefs, as found in the waters of the Menjangan Kecil Island. The role of the sea urchins in the coral reef ecosystem is related to the control of algae expansion. The study was conducted in 19th  and 20th  November 2016, with the objective of knowing the spread abundance of sea urchins at different depths and locations. The method that used was explanative method. The measuring stations are located in the back and forth zones of coral reefs, each with different depths. Spread pattern of sea urchins can be known using the formula ID = S2 / x ̅, based on the formula is known value of ID (dispersion index) each depth at two different location. Result ID at Location A at 0-90 cm and 90-140 cm is ID <1, while at 140-170 cm and > 170 cm is ID> 1. The result of location ID B on four different depths is ID> 1. Based on the ID results can be known how the pattern of dissemination. This indicates that the sea urchins in Menjangan Kecil Island live mostly in groups at the depths of which coral reef ecosystems are still quite good. Keywords: Menjangan Kecil Island; Dispersal patterns; Abundanc;  Sea Urchins

Poncan Godang Island is included in the appropriate category based on the suitability of land for the Sibolga tourist area, with the presence of tourism activities that can also affect the amount of biodiversity in it. Considering the importance of coral reefs for biodiversity and sea urchins which also have a role in coral reef ecosystems, it is necessary to conduct research on the condition of sea urchins population and the percentage of coral reefs on Poncan Godang Island. Sea urchin and coral reef data were collected using the Line Intercept Transect (LIT) method by monitoring directly on the transect line along 50 meters. The results obtained indicate that the population of sea urchins in the waters of Poncan Godang Island, North Sumatra can be described, that sea urchins do not affect the coral reef ecosystem because at stations 1 and 5 there is no sea urchin and the percentage of coral cover is classified as bad, but at station 3 there are 32 individuals with coral reef cover conditions, while at stations with The percentage of good coral cover is that at station 4 there are only 25 individuals, as well as at station 2 where the percentage of coral cover is higher than station 3 and there are no sea urchins

Remote Estimation

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.

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.

Coral reefs are ecosystems with high productivity while being very vulnerable to environmental changes. The oil spill incident in Balikpapan Bay in 2018 still caused damage to the coral reef ecosystem in Tanjung Jumlai, Penajam Paser Utara Regency, East Kalimantan due to the use of dispersants in handling oil spills. Research on the condition of coral reefs is carried out to ensure the sustainability of the benefits of ecosystem products and services provided by coral reef ecosystems to communities around Balikpapan Bay. Coral reef research has been carried out at three transect station locations in the Tanjung Jumlai reef area. This research is aimed to determine the distribution, abundance, and structure of coral reef ecosystems in these waters. The study was conducted in October 2019. Data collection was carried out using the Point Intercept Transect (PIT) method. The results showed that the average percentage of coral cover was 55.7% with a good coral cover category. Substrate covering the bottom of the coral reef ecosystem is dominated by Acropora Tubulate and Acropora Branching from the biotic component, and Dead Coral with Algae and Rubble from the abiotic component. Diversity index value (H') in the waters is categorized as low species richness. This research has been identified only 10 genera in the study area where 9 genera are hard coral species. Similarity Index value (E) included in the medium category and dominance index value (D) belong to the medium category which means that there are no species that are very dominant in the observation area. Water quality at station 1 representing all observation stations shows results that the study area are still appropriate for marine biota according to Minister of Environment Decree 51/2004, except for nitrate content. Sediments also show no trace of hydrocarbons.Coral reefs are ecosystems with high productivity while being very vulnerable to environmental changes.

Ekosistem terumbu karang adalah ekosistem laut yang sangat rentan oleh kerusakan lingkungan. Terumbu karang di perairan Bilik, Taman Nasional Baluran merupakan contoh ekosistem terumbu karang yang mengalami ancaman kerusakan lingkungan akibat perubahan iklim dan aktivitas manusia. Salah satu metode yang dapat digunakan untuk memonitor kesehatan terumbu karang adalah dengan melihat kelimpahan megabentos dalam ekosistem terumbu karang. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini memiliki tujuan untuk mengetahui kesehatan ekosistem terumbu karang dengan melihat kelimpahan megabentos di perairan Bilik, Taman Nasional Baluran. Metode yang digunakan dalam inventarisasi megabentos adalah dengan Benthos Belt Transect dan analisis video di Blok Sijile dan Blok Jeding di Perairan Bilik. Hasil pengamatan menunjukkan bahwa di Blok Sijile tidak ditemukan ekosistem terumbu karang dan megabentos. Sementara itu di Blok Jeding ditemukan ekosistem terumbu karang dengan megabentos berupa bulu babi dan bintang laut biru. Kelimpahan bulu babi di dan bintang laut biru adalah 0-0,14 individu/m2. Kondisi tersebut menunjukkan bahwa kesehatan ekosistem terumbu karang di Blok Jeding perairan Bilik Sijile masih baik, namun perlu mendapat perhatian khusus karena sebagian area terumbu karang mengalami pemutihan akibat aktivitas perikanan yang tidak ramah lingkungan.MEGABENTHOS ABUNDANCE AS CORAL HEALTH INDICATORS IN BILIK WATERS, BALURAN NATIONAL PARK, INDONESIA. Coral reef ecosystems are marine ecosystems that are prone to environmental damage. Coral reefs in Bilik waters, Baluran National Park, are examples of coral reef ecosystems that are threatened by environmental damage due to climate change and human activities. One of the methods for health monitoring of coral reefs is by looking at the abundance of megabenthos in coral reef ecosystems. Therefore, this study aims to determine the health of coral reef ecosystems by looking at the abundance of megabenthos in Bilik waters, Baluran National Park. We used Benthos Belt Transect and video analysis to identify the spatial distribution and number of megabenthos in Sijile Block and Jeding Block, Bilik waters. The results showed that in Sijile Block, there were no coral reef neither megabenthos ecosystems. Meanwhile, in Jeding Block, there was a coral reefs ecosystem with megabenthos in the form of sea urchins and blue starfish. The abundance of sea urchins and the blue sea star in Jeding Block was about 0-0.14 individual/m2. These conditions indicate that the health of the coral reef ecosystem in Jeding Block, Bilik waters was still in good condition, even though it still needs special attention related to coral bleaching as a consequence of fisheries activities that are not environmentally friendly.

Increasing degradation coral reefs ecosystem has created many concerns. Reduction of this damage can only be done with good and proper management of coral reef ecosystem based on existing condition. The condition of coral reef ecosystem can be determined by assessing its community structure. This study investigates community structure of coral reef ecosystems around Saebus Island, Sumenep District, East Java, by using satellite imagery analysis and field observations. Satellite imagery analysis by Lyzenga methods was used to determine the observation stations and substrate distribution. Field observations were done by using Line Intercept Transect method at 4 stations, at the depth of 3 and 10 meters. The results showed that the percentage of coral reef coverage at the depth of 3 and 10 meters were 64.36% and 59.29%, respectively, and included in fine coverage category. This study found in total 25 genera from 13 families of corals at all stations. The most common species found were Acropora, Porites, and Pocillopora, while the least common species were Favites and Montastrea. Average value of Diversity, Uniformity and Dominancy indices were 2.94, 0.8 and 0.18 which include as medium, high, and low category, respectively. These results suggest that coral reef ecosystems around Saebus Island is in a good condition.
