Marine Ecotourism

ABSTRAKSejak 1990 Pangandaran telah berkembang menjadi salah satu tujuan wisata utama di Jawa Barat yang memfokuskan pengembangannya pada wisata bahari. Perkembangan itu menarik banyak wisatawan dan berdampak pada kondisi ekosistem laut. Terumbu karang secara perlahan dirusak oleh kegiatan wisatawan, limbah plastik dan polusi, sehingga kejernihan air terdegradasi. Program ini dilakukan untuk menganalisis tingkat kerusakan terumbu karang dan kesiapan masyarakat dalam membudidayakan terumbu karang, serta menyediakan pelatihan kepada masyarakat sehingga model transplantasi akan dihasilkan. Subjek dari pelatihan ini adalah komunitas nelayan di Kecamatan Pananjung. Pelatihan disampaikan dalam tahapan: 1) identifikasi kondisi terumbu karang di Perairan Cagar Alam; 2) analisis kesiapan dan kemampuan masyarakat dalam mengembangkan budidaya terumbu karang, dan 3) pelatihan dalam budidaya terumbu karang bagi masyarakat. Sasaran dari kegiatan ini adalah untuk meningkatkan kualitas lingkungan perairan dan meningkatkan pengetahuan masyarakat setempat melalui pelatihan dalam budidaya terumbu karang. Ketika transplantasi siap, masyarakat setempat akan dapat mengembangkan usaha pariwisata mandiri, berdasarkan konservasi dan meningkatkan ekonomi masyarakat, sehingga membantu pemerintah dalam mewujudkan wisata bahari yang berkelanjutan.Kata Kunci: Ekowisata, Transplantasi Terumbu Karang, Wisata Bahari. ABSTRACTSince 1990 Pangandaran has developed into one of the main tourism destination in West Java which focuses its development on Marine Ecotourism. The development drawn high number of tourists and impacted the condition of the marine ecosystems. The coral reefs were slowly being damaged by tourists activities, plastics waste and pollution, thus the clarity of the water was degraded.This Program was conducted to analyze the level of damage to coral reefs and community preparedness in cultivating coral reefs, as well as providing training to the community so that the model of transplantion would be generated. The subjects of this training were fishermen communities in Pananjung Subdistrict. The training was delivered in the stages of: 1) identification of the condition of coral reefs in the Nature Reserve Waters; 2) analysis of community readiness and ability in developing coral reef cultivation, and 3) training in coral reef cultivation for the community. The target of this activity is to improve the quality of the aquatic environment and increase the knowledge of local communities through training in coral reef cultivation. Whenever the transplantation is ready, the local community will be able to develop an independent tourism business, based on water conservation, and improve the economy of the community, thus helping the government in realizing a sustainable marine tourism.Keywords: Coral Reef Transplantation, Ecotourism, Marine tourism.

The Relationship

Coral reefs in Negeri Hative Besar, Ambon City are in a bad category or almost lost, where the percentage of coral cover is very small. One form of management for sustainability is to provide economic value for the damage to coral reefs. The purpose of this study was to assess community perceptions, analyze the relationship between perceptions and willingness to pay for repairing damage to coral reefs and to estimate the economic value of coral reef damage. This study uses a survey method. Data analysis consists of an analysis of public perceptions, analysis of the relationship between perceptions and WTP, and analysis of non-market economic valuations. The results showed that the community had knowledge about coral reefs, the benefits of coral reefs, and damage to coral reefs. There is no relationship between perceptions and willingness to pay the community for repairing damage to coral reefs in Negeri Hative Besar. The economic value of damage to coral reefs through a non-market approach in Negeri Hative Besar is IDR 1,188,332.66/month or IDR 14,259,991.95/year. Based on the economic value obtained, the management of coral reef damage in Negeri Hative Besar can be carried out through rehabilitation and coral transplantation activities with the involvement of the local community.

In partnership with the U.S. Geological Survey Coastal and Marine Hazards and Resources Program (USGS CMHRP) and the U.S. Coastal Research Program (USCRP), the American Shore and Beach Preservation Association (ASBPA) has identified coastal stakeholders’ top coastal management challenges. Informed by two annual surveys, a multiple-choice online poll was conducted in 2019 to evaluate stakeholders’ most pressing problems and needs, including those they felt most ill-equipped to deal with in their day-to-day duties and which tools they most need to address these challenges. The survey also explored where users find technical information and what is missing. From these results, USGS CMHRP, USCRP, ASBPA, and other partners aim to identify research needs that will inform appropriate investments in useful science, tools, and resources to address today’s most pressing coastal challenges. The 15-question survey yielded 134 complete responses with an 80% completion rate from coastal stakeholders such as local community representatives and their industry consultants, state and federal agency representatives, and academics. Respondents from the East, Gulf, West, and Great Lakes coasts, as well as Alaska and Hawaii, were represented. Overall, the prioritized coastal management challenges identified by the survey were: Deteriorating ecosystems leading to reduced (environmental, recreational, economic, storm buffer) functionality, Increasing storminess due to climate change (i.e. more frequent and intense impacts), Coastal flooding, both Sea level rise and associated flooding (e.g. nuisance flooding, king tides), and Combined effects of rainfall and surge on urban flooding (i.e. episodic, short-term), Chronic beach erosion (i.e. high/increasing long-term erosion rates), and Coastal water quality, including harmful algal blooms (e.g. red tide, sargassum). A careful, systematic, and interdisciplinary approach should direct efforts to identify specific research needed to tackle these challenges. A notable shift in priorities from erosion to water-related challenges was recorded from respondents with organizations initially formed for beachfront management. In addition, affiliation-specific and regional responses varied, such as Floridians concern more with harmful algal blooms than any other human and ecosystem health related challenge. The most common need for additional coastal management tools and strategies related to adaptive coastal management to maintain community resilience and continuous storm barriers (dunes, structures), as the top long-term and extreme event needs, respectively. In response to questions about missing information that agencies can provide, respondents frequently mentioned up-to-date data on coastal systems and solutions to challenges as more important than additional tools.

Main Relationship

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.

Sediment Input

Increasing evidence suggests that coral reefs exposed to elevated turbidity may be more resilient to climate change impacts and serve as an important conservation hotspot. However, logistical difficulties in studying turbid environments have led to poor representation of these reef types within the scientific literature, with studies using different methods and definitions to characterize turbid reefs. Here we review the geological origins and growth histories of turbid reefs from the Holocene (past), their current ecological and environmental states (present), and their potential responses and resilience to increasing local and global pressures (future). We classify turbid reefs using new descriptors based on their turbidity regime (persistent, fluctuating, transitional) and sources of sediment input (natural versus anthropogenic). Further, by comparing the composition, function and resilience of two of the most studied turbid reefs, Paluma Shoals Reef Complex, Australia (natural turbidity) and Singapore reefs (anthropogenic turbidity), we found them to be two distinct types of turbid reefs with different conservation status. As the geographic range of turbid reefs is expected to increase due to local and global stressors, improving our understanding of their responses to environmental change will be central to global coral reef conservation efforts.
