ABSTRAKKeberadaan ekosistem lamun di perairan pesisir pulau-pulau kecil berperan penting sebagai habitat dan penyedia sumber daya ikan, serta pelindung garis pantai dan daratan pulau-pulau kecil tersebut. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis sebaran, komposisi, kerapatan, penutupan dan asosiasi jenis lamun di perairan pulau-pulau kecil Hiri, Ternate, Maitara dan Tidore, Maluku Utara. Pengambilan data dengan menggunakan metode transek garis dan transek kuadrat. Selanjutnya data dianalisis dengan menggunakan bantuan perangkat lunak MS Excel dan XLstat. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Pulau Tidore memiliki jumlah jenis lamun terbanyak yakni delapan jenis lamun dari sembilan jenis lamun yang ditemukan di seluruh lokasi penelitian. Tiga jenis lamun yaitu, Enhalus acoroides, Thalassia hemprichii dan Cymodocea rotundata, menyebar luas dan terdapat di keempat pulau tersebut. Komposisi, kerapatan dan penutupan jenis lamun bervariasi antar stasiun penelitian. Vegetasi lamun yang ditemukan di lokasi penelitian berupa vegetasi campuran yang terdiri dari tiga sampai delapan jenis lamun. E. acoroides banyak ditemukan di Stasiun Mtr1 dan Tte2 tidak berasosiasi dengan spesies lainnya, demikian juga dengan C. serrulata yang ditemukan di Stasiun Mtr2 dan T. hemprichii di Stasiun Tdr2 dan Tdr3. Asosiasi C. rotundata dan Syiringodium isoetifolium terlihat di stasiun Tdr1 dan Hr1, sementara Halophila ovalis dan H. spinulosa  tidak menunjukkan asosiasi dengan jenis lamun lainnya di lokasi penelitian. Secara keseluruhan kondisi lingkungan perairan di keempat pulau tersebut masih tergolong baik dan mampu mendukung ekosistem lamun. ABSTRACTThe existence of seagrass ecosystems in the coastal region of small islands has been playing an essential role as a habitat and the supplier of fish resources, as well as a shore and coastline protector of small islands. This study aimed to  determine the distribution, composition, density, coverage, and associations of seagrass plant in the islands of Hiri, Ternate, Maitara, and Tidore. Data were collected by using line transect method and quadrate transect. Furthermore, data were analyzed by using MS Excel and XLstat software. The results showed that Tidore Island has the highest number of seagrass species namely eight from nine species of seagrasses found in all research sites. Three species of seagrasses, Enhalus acoroides, Thalassia hemprichii, and Cymodocea rotundata, were widespread in all four islands. The composition, density and coverage of seagrass species varied among research stations. Vegetation of seagrasses found in the study site in the form of mixed vegetation consisting of three to eight species. Enhalus acoroides found mostly in Mtr1 and Tte2 stations were not associated with other seagrass species, nor Cymodocea serrulata that found in Mtr2 Station and T. hemprichii at Tdr2 and Tdr3 stations. The associations of C. rotundata and Syringodium isoetifolium were observed at Tdr1 and Hr1 Stations. While Halophila ovalis and Halophila spinulosa showed no association with other seagrass species at the study area. Overall the condition of the marine environment on the four islands is still relatively good and able to support the life of the seagrass ecosystem.

Seagrass is a unique angiosperm that grows in the sea. It is one of the three ecosystems that linked each other that equilibrate marine coastal environment. The increased rate of the destruction of the seagrass meadow calls an alarming threat to the anthropogenic community. The study determined the percentage cover and diversity of indexes of the seagrass in Igang Bay before the anthropogenic threat happened. Line transect – quadrat method was used and analyzed using Kruskal-Wallis test and Mann-Whitney test before subjected to similarity and overlap attribute, diversity, maximum diversity, evenness and dominance indexes. There are nine species of seagrasses, three species in western sites and nine in eastern sites. Canopy height and percent cover of seagrass has inverse interaction. Index of similarity between two sites is 0.3333 and 0.4286 for overlap attribute. Eastern site has higher diversity index and February is the highest at 1.24 and 2.10 in maximum diversity. The seagrass distribution is even after inter-monsoon at 0.71 and 0.12 in Eastern site and Western site, respectively. Thalassia hemprichii is the dominant species at both sites, and peak at July at both sites. In general, the Igang Bay seagrass meadow is Thalassia mixed meadow.Keywords: Marine Ecology, Seagrass, Igang Bay, percent cover, similarity index, diversityindex, evenness and dominance, descriptive design, Philippines
