scholarly journals Environmental Sensitivity Index Analysis for coastal protection of oil spill in Fakfak, Papua, Indonesia

2021 ◽  

<p>This study was conducted to analysis of the Environmental Sensitivity Index (ESI) for anticipating the effect of oil spills on the environment in coastal areas. The study location is the coastal area and waters of the Karas District, Fakfak Regency, West Papua Province, Indonesia. The purpose of the study is to determine the priority of areas that are sensitive to oil spills. This method was carried out by scoring each unit of land based on vulnerability, conservation, and social values. ESI Analysis was carried out through geographic information systems and classified into 5 classes of sensitivity levels. The land use classification was carried out through satellite imagery and field surveys conducted in December 2018. The results of resource classification can be divided into 16 classes. The ESI analysis showed that most (51%) were categorized as insensitive, sensitive low 24%, very sensitive 15%, moderately sensitive 6%, and sensitive 4%. Although most are not sensitive, it should be followed by effective environmental protection to maintain sustainable development.</p>

The southern part of Bintuni Bay with highly sensitive ecosystem conditions has evolved into an oil and gas industry where potential impacts on coastal and offshore environments need to be anticipated and planned comprehensively for environmental protection from oil spills. The main problem is the determination of areas that are sensitive and vulnerable to oil spills. This study is to analyze the factors and components that affect the level of environmental sensitivity and mapping Environment Sensitivity Index (ESI) to the oil spill.  The study was carried out by identifying and assessing each land units of its and use. Land use and land cover are interpreted through the use of satellite imagery with classification methods of guided satellite imagery. Field survey was also conducted in order to improve the accuracy of land use interpretation. Data analysis was performed by spatially by GIS method. The result indicated that ESI can be divided into five categories, are very sensitive (2,395.98 hectares or 2.38%), sensitive (13,133.53 hectares or 13.07%), moderately sensitive (17,902.78 hectares or 17.81%), low sensitive (52,409.14 hectares or 52.14%) and not sensitive (14,681.48 hectares or 14.61%). Although the study area is dominated by low sensitivity category, however the coastal protection from oil spill still should be prioritized.Keywords:  coastal protection, Environmental Sensitivity Index, Oil Spill, Bintuni Bay Wilayah bagian selatan Teluk Bintuni dengan kondisi ekosistem yang sangat sensitif telah berkembang menjadi industri minyak dan gas dimana potensi dampaknya terhadap lingkungan pesisir dan lepas pantai  perlu diantisipasi dan terencana secara komprehensif untuk perlindungan lingkungan dari kemungkinan tumpahan minyak. Masalah utamanya adalah penentuan daerah yang sensitif dan rentan terhadap tumpahan minyak. Penelitian ini menganalisis faktor dan komponen yang berpengaruh terhadap tingkat sensitivitas lingkungan dan pemetaan Indeks Sensitivitas Lingkungan (ISL) terhadap tumpahan minyak. Studi ini dilakukan dengan cara identifikasi dan penilaian unit lahan pada setiap penggunaan lahan. Penggunaan dan penutup lahan diinterpretasikan melalui penggunaan citra satelit dengan metode klasifikasi citra satelit terbimbing. Guna meningkatkan akurasi interpretasi penggunaan lahan juga dilaksanakan survei lapangan. Analisis data hasil penilaian unit identifikasi dilakukan secara spasial dengan metode SIG. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa ESI dapat dibagi menjadi lima kategori, yaitu sangat sensitif (2.395,98 hektar atau 2,38%), sensitif (13.133,53 hektar atau 13,07%), cukup sensitif (17.902,78 hektar atau 17,81%), sensitif rendah (52,409.14 hektar atau 52,14% dan tidak sensitif (14.681,48 hektar atau 14,61. Meskipun sebagian besar daerah daerah penelitian termasuk dalam kategori sensitif rendah, namun demikian perlindungan dari tumpahan minyak harus tetap diprioritaskan.Kata Kunci: perlindungan pantai, Indeks Sensitivits Lingkungan, tumpahan minyak, Teluk Bintuni

International experience of oil spill response in the sea defines the priority of coastal protection and the need to identify as most valuable in ecological terms and the most vulnerable areas. Methodological approaches to the assessing the vulnerability of Arctic coasts to oil spills based on international systems of Environmental Sensitivity Index (ESI) and geomorphological zoning are considered in the article. The comprehensive environmental and geomorphological approach allowed us to form the morphodynamic basis for the classification of seacoasts and try to adapt the international system of indexes to the shores of the Kara Sea taking into account the specific natural conditions. This work has improved the expert assessments of the vulnerability and resilience of the seacoasts.

The Environmental Sensitivity Index (ESI) is a description of the biological, socio-economic and socio-cultural values of a particular coastal and marine area used as a priority response to oil spills, shown on a map by applying spatial analysis using geographic information system technology. The purpose of this research was to analyse mangrove ecosystem area in Banggai and Banggai Islands Regency based on its vulnerability value by analyzing mangrove community structure and socio-economic services for local community. The research was conducted in nine sub-districts, among others: South Batui, Batui, East Luwuk, Lamala, Masama, Balantak, Bualemo (Banggai) and Bulagi and Buko (Banggai Islands). The study was conducted from August to November 2016, with field observations, direct interviews with communities and local government and literature review. The results of spatial analysis of ESI in the coastal areas of Banggai and Banggai Islands are obtained from sensitivity values of medium and sensitive. Areas with moderate sensitivity are Batui, East Luwuk, Masama, Lamala, Balantak and Bualemo sub-districts with grades of 16,78 – 24,35. The value of ESI with sensitive category ranges from 38,24 – 57,54 in Bulagi, Buko and South Batui sub-districts. Keywords: mangrove ecosystem, Environmental Sensitivity Index (ESI)

The Environmental Sensitivity Index (ESI) mapping has been used globally for oil spill planning and response purposes in coastal areas since its development in the 1970s. However, application to riverine habitats has been very limited.  Following US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) formats and adapting them in working sessions held by a multidisciplinary team and in special sessions with experts and consultants in Colombia, this paper describes the development and application of the sensitivity index to develop maps for the conditions of the middle Magdalena River in Colombia.  The index developed (ESI-R) is useful for application on other major rivers in Colombia and areas with similar characteristics.  The use of the index to develop maps for smaller rivers and streams is likely to require further development.
