Research on the structure of seagrass communities in the waters of the island Mantehage was conducted in September 2010. The purpose of this study is to collect data and information on the structure of seagrass communities. Observations includes the identification seagrass species, measuring the number of individual/stand, cover percentage of each type/species on the transect. 6 types of seagrass found, i.e. Enhalus acoroides, Halophila ovalis, Thalassia hemprichii, Thalassodendron ciliatum, Cymodocea rotundata and Syringodium isoetifolium. Seagrass species composition and distribution varies at each location and is dominated by the presence of Thalassia hemprichii (48.14%) with coverage percentage ranges between 15.91% to 35.11%. Diversity index values ranged from 0.79 to 1.69 ; evenness index between 0.57 to 0.94 and the index of dominance between 0.20 to 0.56. In conclusion, the condition of seagrass meadows in Mantehage island is relatively good and can support marine life adequately.Keywords : Structure communities, seagrass, Mantehage Island

AbstrakEkosistem lamun merupakan salah satu ekosistem bahari yang produktif. Selain sebagai sumber produktifitas primer di perairan, ekosistem lamun juga memiliki arti penting bagi hewan yang hidup di area padang lamun. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan di Pesisir Pantai Molas dengan menggunakan metode garis transek kuadrat, yang dilakukan pada bulan Januari – Juni 2011. Analisis data meliputi perhitungan dengan rumus Krebs dan Fachrul, identifikasi jenis lamun dan penentuan indeks keanekaragaman menggunakan Shannon Wiener. Ada lima jenis lamun yang ditemukan yaitu Enhalus acoroides, Thalassia hemprichii, Halophila ovalis, Cymodocea rotundata dan Syringodium isoetifolium. Lamun E. acoroides dan S. isoetifolium memiliki penyebaran terluas, karena ditemukan di seluruh transek pada lokasi penelitian. Jenis yang jarang dijumpai adalah H. ovalis. Jumlah individu yang ditemukan adalah 130 individu.

Seagrass Coverage

Serangan Island is one of the tourism destinations in Bali which is administratively belong to the municipality of Denpasar. Tourism development near with the segrass habitat cause the segrass ecosystem being degraded in the waters of Serangan Island. This study was aimed to determine the diversity and conditions of seagrass species which were observed from the density and percentage of seagrass coverage and to examine the effect of water quality on the percentage of seagrass coverage. This research was conducted from February to March 2017 on Serangan Island using quantitative descriptive method. Sampling was conducted at three stations by taking data and samples of seagrass, measuring water quality (temperature, salinity, pH, turbidity, substrate observation) and analyze of nitrates and phosphates content. Seven types of seagrass species were found i.e. Enhalus acoroides, Thalassia hemprichii, Cymodocea rotundata, Halophila ovalis, Halodule pinifolia, Syringodium isoetifolium, and Thalassodendron ciliatum. The study showed that the diversity index value was in the medium category. The density of seagrass was classified as very tight (condition scale of 5). The highest density was found on Cymodocea rotundata spesies at station I about 777 ind/m2. The highest percentage of seagrass coverage (79,55%) was found in station I which classified as good condition, while station II and station III were classified as damaged condition with value 13.65% and 20,79% respectively. Finally, the water quality parameters have relatively low effect to seagrass coverage percentage.

Knowledge of the distribution and relative abundance of seagrass communities in the Coral Triangle is limited, despite their global significance and the vital ecosystem services they perform for local human populations, threatened species such as dugongs and green turtles, as well as the role of being a globally significant carbon stock. To address this gap and investigate cost-effective methods in data-poor regions, we conducted seagrass mapping near two islands off the coast of Sabah in Malaysia: Banggi Island (7°15′N, 117°12′E) and Mantanani Island (6°43′N, 116°21′E). We used a staged approach that included: (1) interview surveys, (2) manta tow and spot surveys, and (3) comprehensive transect surveys. Approximately 415 ha and 112 ha of seagrass meadows were mapped off Banggi Island and Mantanani Island respectively. We found 10 species of seagrasses from two families: Halophila ovalis, Halodule uninervis (broad and thin leaf varieties), Thalassia hemprichii, Cymodocea rotundata, Halophila decipiens, Halophila spinulosa, Cymodocea serrulata, Syringodium isoetifolium, Enhalus acoroides and Halophila sp. nov. Our methodology proved cost-effective and the resultant information should be relevant to conservation planners.

Physical seagrass ecosystem damage have been reported in various regions in Indonesia. Seagrass ecosystem damage is caused by human activity such as trampling seagrass and boats that muddy the waters and reduced the density and seagrass cover. This study aims to provide information about the density and the coverage of seagrass. The method used in this research is the transect method measuring 50x50 cm squared at three different locations by considering coastal ecosystems Bahoi village that already exist. Station 1 is near to mangrove habitat, station 2 is right on seagrass habitats, and station 3 is near to coral reef habitat. The results indicated there is six seagrass species that found in the Bahoi village which is Enhalus acoroides, Thalassia hemprichii, Cymodocea rotundata, Syringodium isoetifolium, Halophila ovalis, and Halodule uninervis. The density and seagrass cover is shows that the station 1 has the highest density and seagrass cover percentage compared with the other stations. The highest density of seagrass species located in station 1 with 955 individuals/m2, and the lowest was located at station 3 with 699 individuals/m2. While the highest cover percentage is located at station 1 with 270% and the lowest located at station 3 with 229%. Keyword: seagrass ecosystem, density, coverage, Bahoi

Dugong dugon is a herbivorous marine mammal. One of Dugong's favorite foods is seagrass. This study examines the distribution of seagrass species to dugong sighting in Liki Island. The study was conducted in November 2018. Observation of seagrass conditions was carried out using a line transect method and a 50x50 cm transect with a distance interval between 10 m plots. Interviews were also conducted with the community to find out the location of Dugong presence in Liki Island. There are seven species of seagrass found in Liki Island :Enhalus acoroides, Cymodocea rotundata, Thalassia hemprichii, Halophila ovalis, Halodule uninervis, Halodule pnifolia and Syringodium isoetifolium spread over four observation stations. The results showed that  Dugong in Liki Island is often found during the eastern season, they often appear in seagrass ecosystem area to do eating activities. Dugong is often found in the eastern part of Liki Island (Station 4) and sometimes also found in the western part of Liki Island (Station 3).Keywords:biodiversity,Dugong dugon, liki, papua, seagrass
