 Substrat mangrove terdiri atas fraksi pasir (sand), lumpur (silt), dan liat (clay). Gastropoda adalah kelompok hewan dari filum moluska yang hidup di jenis substrat dari kasar ke halus. Kelimpahan gastropoda dipengaruhi oleh substrat dasar yang merupakan habitat dari gastropoda, serta kandungan nutrien yang berbeda pada tiap fraksi akan mempengaruhi kelimpahan Gastropoda yang berada di dalamnya. Oleh karena itu, perlu dilakukan penelitian mengenai hubungan substrat dengan kelimpahan Gastropoda, karena Gastropoda salah satu faktor penting untuk menjaga keseimbangan ekologi pesisir khususnya ekositem mangrove. Penelitian  dilakukan di Hutan Mangrove Kulonprogo Yogyakarta bertujuan untuk mengetahui tipe substrat, kelimpahan Gastropoda dan hubungan kedua variabel tersebut. Penelitian  dilakukan pada bulan April sampai dengan  Mei 2017. Metode yang digunakan adalah metode deskriptif yaitu metode penelitian yang memberikan gambaran secara sistematis, faktual, akurat mengenai faktor-faktor dan sifat-sifat dari suatu daerah atau populasi. Metode pengambilan sampel substrat dan Gastropoda menggunakan metode Purposive Sampling Method pada 3 stasiun berbeda yaitu stasiun I pada bagian dekat pemukiman penduduk, stasiun II pada bagian dekat tambak, dan stasiun III pada bagian muara sungai. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan jenis substrat pada tiap stasiun adalah lempung dan lempung berdebu yang didominasi oleh fraksi lumpur (silt) dan pasir (sand). Jenis Gastropoda yang didapatkan berasal dari genus Littoraria, Natica, Faunus, Cerithium, Neritina, Polinices, Conus, Telescopium, dan Nerita. Meningkatnya prosentase fraksi pasir (sand) dan liat (clay) akan diikuti oleh meningkatnya kelimpahan Gastropoda, sedangkan untuk fraksi lumpur (silt) akan sebaliknya yaitu meningkatnya fraksi lumpur akan diikuti oleh menurunnya kelimpahan Gastropoda. Kata kunci: Tipe Substrat, Gastropoda, Mangrove, Kulonprogo  Mangrove substrates formed by sands, silts, and clays. Gastropods is a group of animals of the phylum of mollusks lives on the type of substrate from rough to smooth.

Taman Nasional Sembilang merupakan salah satu taman nasional yang terletak di Sumatera Selatan dan menjadi kawasan mangrove terbesar di barat Indonesia. Sebagian besar wilayah mangrovenya telah mengalami alih fungsi menjadi tambak pasang surut. Hal ini menyebabkan timbulnya kekhawatiran kerusakan mangrove di taman nasional. Salah satu upaya untuk mempertahankan wilayah mangrove adalah dengan melakukan sistem silvofishery, yaitu penanaman mangrove dan budidaya bandeng dilakukan secara bersamaan di tambak. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis kualitas air dan kondisi nutrien di tambak di daerah restorasi silvofishery di Taman Nasional Sembilang. Penelitian dilakukan dengan metode purposive sampling di tambak silvofishery, tambak non-silvofishery, dan badan air sungai di seluruh wilayah taman nasional. Pengukuran dilakukan terhadap parameter kualitas air dan kandungan nutrien khususnya nitrat dan fosfat. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kehadiran tanaman mangrove di daerah tambak mampu memperbaiki kandungan oksigen dan pH air tambak. Mangrove juga menunjukkan kemampuan dalam mengikat nitrat yang secara tidak langsung akan mencegah air tambak dari polusi. Namun, kandungan fosfat tinggi menunjukkan bahwa tanaman mangrove muda di wilayah restorasi belum mampu mengikat nutrien ini secara signifikan. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa hutan mangrove sangat bermanfaat bagi kegiatan budidaya tambak karena kemampuannya dalam menyerap polutan nutrient. Kata kunci: silvofishery; kolam; nitrat; fosfat; Taman Nasional Sembilang Sembilang National Park is one of the national parks which is located in South Sumatera and became the largest mangrove area in western Indonesia. Most of the mangroves area in this national park has been experiencing conversion to be tidal ponds. This has resulted in concerns on mangrove forest destruction in the park. One of the efforts to maintain mangroves area is by applying silvofishery system, which is mangrove planting and cultivation of milkfish in ponds performed simultaneously. This study aims to investigate the water quality and nutrient condition in the ponds in the area of silvofishery restoration at Sembilang National Park. The study was conducted by purposive sampling method in the silvofishery ponds, non-silvofishery ponds, and river water bodies throughout the park. Measurements conducted on water quality parameters and nutrient content, especially nitrate and phosphate. The results showed that the presence of mangrove in the ponds area is able to improve the oxygen content and pH of pond water. Mangroves also demonstrated the ability to bind nitrates which indirectly will prevent the pond water from pollution. However, the high phosphorus content showed that young mangrove plants in the restoration area have not been able to significantly bind the of this nutrient. The results of this study showed that mangrove forests are very beneficial for aquaculture activities because of its ability to absorb nutrient pollutants. Keywords: silvofishery; ponds; nitrate; phosphate; Sembilang National Park

Eleven billion microplastic particles are entangled in coral reef ecosystems in the Asia - Pacific Region. The presence of microplastics in coral reef ecosystems in Indonesia, especially in the Karimunjawa Marine National Park, was found as many as 22.7 and 12.8 particles / kilogram samples in two locations. The presence of microplastics in coral reef ecosystems allows threats to the health of coral reefs. Therefore, the importance of this study is to complement the data on the distribution of microplastics in the Karimunjawa Marine National Park as an initial step for conservation and mitigation of the impact of plastic/ microplastic pollution. Sampling using purposive sampling method. Sediment collection using SCUBA set and sediment grab at a depth of 3 - 5 meters. ± 1000 g of sediment was taken and stored in double zip lock plastic. The samples were then analyzed by microplastics in the Tropical Marine Biotechnology Laboratory, FPIK UNDIP. The results showed that the greatest abundance of microplastics was in the Karang Tengah area with the number of microplastics 96 particles / kilogram, and the farthest in the Ujung Gelam and Lego was 11 particles / kilogram. Research shows that the abundance of microplastics in areas with human activities such as tourism, ports, and boat routes has a high abundance compared to conservation areas or areas with little human activity. It is hoped that the available data from this type of research will be able to produce decisions on conservation measures in Karimunjawa Marine National Park.  Sebelas miliar partikel mikroplastik terjerat pada ekosistem terumbu karang di Kawasan Asia – Pasifik.
