Management Strategy of Mangrove Ecosystem in Siak Regency, Riau Province, Indonesia

Coastal ecosystems on small islands have a large enough pressure to be inversely proportional to a large island due to various resource capabilities and limited supporting factors. Mangrove is one of the ecosystems on the coast of a small island that is susceptible to disturbance because it is close to human activities. This study aimed to determine the mangrove ecosystem management strategy on the coast of the Siak Regency. The research was conducted from July to August 2020 using survey and interview methods. Data analysis used the Analytical Hierarchy Process to determine the mangrove management strategy. The results showed that community involvement is a priority for managing sustainable mangrove ecosystems with the assistance of the Government and NGOs.

The Strategy of Coastal Eco-Tourism Based on Cultural Ecosystem Services Approach: A Case Study in Ciletuh Bay

Ciletuh Bay has a natural magnificence that attracts local and foreign tourists. Tourist interest was reflected by the many visits demanding the government manage it properly to achieve social, economic, and ecological sustainability. Research on the assessment of cultural ecosystem services in Ciletuh Bay has not been carried out. At the same time, this is necessary for policymakers to maintain sustainable Ciletuh Bay coastal ecotourism.

The second assessment is an economic valuation using the travel cost method (TCM). The results showed that the balance of supply and demand for cultural ecosystem services in Ciletuh Bay contained several types of landscapes in unstable conditions. The economic value of Ciletuh Bay coastal ecotourism is IDR 862,640,124,311.00/year or IDR 77,911,861.00/ha/year.

Spacial Economic Model of Sustainability Scuba Diving Tourism at Gili Matra Conservation Area, Indonesia

The development of the marine tourism sector in conservation areas creates a dilemma in its management. When economic interests are prioritized, it will have a negative impact on ecological aspects, so it is necessary to have a balance between environmental conservation activities and tourist activities. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to design a sustainable tourist allocation management model in conservation areas and the optimal economic value of each dive tourism site. The results of the analysis of the carrying capacity of the area per dive location point are then analyzed using dynamic models to predict the growth in tourism demand and supply, so that the economic value of each dive tourism site can be known. The results of the analysis show that not all conservation areas are suitable for diving tourism sites and appropriate locations have varying carrying capacities, depending on the area of the area. The number of offers from each dive tourism location some are more than the capacity and some are still below the capacity, so that in order to achieve sustainable diving tourism management, the allocation of requests is carried out proportionally and does not exceed the level of the area's carrying capacity (supply).

Analysis of Household Food Security of Fishermen in Coastal Area, Bangil District, Pasuruan Regency

The low income of fishermen makes it difficult to fulfill basic household food needs and non-food basic needs. The purpose of this study was to analyze the level of energy adequacy and the level of protein adequacy and identify the factors that affect the food security of fishermen's households. The first analysis was carried out descriptively by combining food expenditure and energy consumption indicators. The second analysis uses a logit model regression analysis. The analysis results show that the food security condition of fishermen's households is at the food shortage level of 43.34%. Fisherman households in the food insecurity criteria are 10%, and food security is 23.33%. It means that more than 60% of fishermen's household income is spent on food consumption. The low income received has resulted in fisherman households being unable to allocate food expenditures to meet the nutritional adequacy of their household. The factors that influence the food security of fishermen's households are the size of the household members, household expenditures, and the nutritional knowledge of housewives. Local governments should coordinate with other institutions to formulate policies and plans for economic development in coastal areas.

Sustainability Analysis of Tuna (Thunnus sp.) Fishery in Sendang Biru, Malang Regency

Tuna capture fisheries have a very important value and meaning for the socio-economic life of coastal communities, either directly or indirectly.

Suitability Analysis of Habitat and Ecotourism of Olive Ridley Sea Turtle (Lepidochelys olivacea) in Development of Turtle Conservation Strategy at Taman Kili-Kili Beach

Taman Kili-Kili Beach is designated as an Essential Ecosystem Area (KEE). 188/39/KPTS/013/2020. According to the Supervisory Community Group (Pokmaswas), in 2011-2020, there was an increase in broodstock as many as 52 turtles, and the eggs saved as many as 3323 eggs. However, since 2013 Pokmaswas data shows a decrease in the population of hawksbill and green turtles in turtle conservation areas, which is thought to be caused by climate change, global warming, and animals. This study aims to analyze environmental baselines, turtle populations, and the value of turtle ecotourism (ecological, economic values) and develop strategies to support turtle conservation at Taman Kili-Kili Beach Trenggalek Regency. The results of the adjustment of nesting habitats and turtle ecotourism, calculation of the Habitat Conformity Index (IKH) of turtle nesting, IKH = 77.77%, which belongs to the category (S1) is very suitable to be used as a conservation area and turtle nesting habitat. While the results of the calculation of the Turtle Ecotourism Conformity Index (IKW), IKW = 84.93%, which is included in the (S1) category, which is very suitable for use a turtle tourism area. The strategy for developing turtle ecotourism is in quadrant II, meaning that it utilizes the strengths possessed in the turtle conservation area by minimizing the threats that it will experience.
