<strong>Bioaccumulation of Mercury (Hg) in Seagrass <em>Enhalus acoroides</em> and Mangrove <em>Rhizophora apiculata</em> in Pari Island, Seribu Islands.  </strong>Heavy metal pollution, especially Hg metal in Jakarta Bay, is feared to have a negative impact on the quality of the waters around the Jakarta Bay waters, one of which is Pari Island in the Thousand Islands. Seagrass and mangroves plants distributed surrounding Pari Island can be used as indicators of heavy metal pollution. The value of bioaccumulation and translocation of Hg metal factors will provide an overview of the ability of plants to accumulate heavy metals in their surroundings. This study aims to determine the bioaccumulation and translocation of the heavy metal Hg factor in <em>Enhalus acoroides</em> seagrass and <em>Rhizophora apiculata</em> mangroves on Pari Island, Seribu Islands. Seagrass and mangrove samples were taken at five sampling points through purposive sampling. The bioaccumulation value was calculated using the ratio of the metal concentrations in each part of the plant body and sediment. Meanwhile, the translocation factor value was calculated by the ratio of Hg concentration in each part of the plant body (roots/rhizomes, stems, and leaves). The results of this study indicate that the bioaccumulation value in seagrass is infinite (bioaccumulation factor, BAF=∞) and in mangroves is 1.57 (BAF&gt;1). The highest <em>translocation factor</em> value in seagrass leaves is 3.86 (translocation factor, TF) &gt;1) and in mangrove leaves is 2.84 (TF&gt;1). This study shows that seagrass and mangrove plants are classified as good bio accumulator and hyperaccumulator plants and accumulate heavy metals, especially Hg in the upper part of their bodies, namely leaves

<p class="Papertext"><strong>The Abundance of the Harmful Benthic Dinoflagellate in the Seagrass and Macroalgae Habitats on Pari Island, Thousand Islands, Indonesia. </strong>Benthic dinoflagellates are an important part of benthic ecosystems and part of their ecological functions. However, ciguatoxin (CTX) producer dinoflagellates, which could cause Ciguatera Fish Poisoning (CFP) disease, is a known threat to marine biota and the island’s coastal communities, such as in Pari Island. Thus, this research aimed is to study the population of five harmful and toxin producer benthic dinoflagellate genera, namely <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Amphidinium</span>, <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Coolia</span>, <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Gambierdiscus</span>, <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Ostreopsis</span>, and <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Prorocentrum</span>, in macroalgae and seagrass habitats of Pari Island. Benthic dinoflagellate samples were collected in Juni 2019 using artificial substrates in the form of a 10×15 cm nylon screen. Environmental variables, such as nutrient concentration (nitrogen and phosphorus) and water temperature were also measured. The results showed that the average benthic dinoflagellate density in seagrass habitats was four times higher compared to the macroalgae habitats. <em>Gambierdiscus</em> were found as the most abundant benthic dinoflagellate in seagrass habitats, while <em>Prorocentrum</em> were more abundant in macroalgae habitats. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) showed that the N:P ratio was the most important regulating parameter for most benthic dinoflagellate genera in this study, except <em>Ostreopsis</em>, which was found to be more abundant in phosphorus-rich macroalga habitats. The data also shows an increase of benthic dinoflagellate cell density up to seven times compared to the previous research data in 2012 and 2013. That trend indicates an increase in the disturbance and pressure on the macroalgae and seagrass habitats of Pari Island, which require special attention to prevent the occurrence of toxic Benthic Harmful Algal Blooms (bHABs) and CFP cases in the island.</p>

The present study reports and discusses population structure and morphometric relationships of muricid <em>Reishia bitubercularis</em> in two populations from Ambon Island, Maluku. Field sampling was conducted at two locations with typical hard substrate i.e. Ambon Bay and Central Maluku, where each location comprises three different stations. Morphometric relationships were analyzed for shell dimensions i.e., shell length (SL), shell width (SW), shell height (SH) and total weight (TW). A total of 496 individuals of <em>R. bitubercularis </em>were collected in both locations. SL ranged from 7.07 to 42.38 mm in Ambon Bay, and 12.45 to 42.69 mm in Central Maluku. The highest number of individuals in Ambon Bay and Central Maluku was in size 26-28 mm and 30-32 mm, respectively. The mean SW/SL ratio ranged from 0.67 mm to 0.73 mm. Sex ratio was significantly different from 1:1, with females outnumbered males in both locations. Morphometric relationships indicated SL grows faster than SW in both locations and faster than SH and TW in Central Maluku. While the growth rate between SL vs SH; and TW vs SL are relatively similar in Ambon Bay. Overall, both Ambon Bay and Central Maluku have a similar variation of abiotic factors which also play an important role in shell morphometrics and relative growth of muricids, especially related to the exposed area in the rocky intertidal zone where sampling was conducted.

The Sulawesi Sea is a semi-enclosed basin located in the Indonesian Seas and considered as the one of location in the west route of Indonesian Throughflow (ITF). There is less attention on the mixed layer depth investigation in the Sulawesi Sea. Concerning that the mixed layer plays an important role in influencing the ocean in air-sea interaction and affects biological activity, the estimation of mixed layer depth (MLD) in the Sulawesi Sea is important. Seasonal variation of the mixed layer in the Sulawesi Sea between 115°-125°E and 0°-8°N is estimated by using World Ocean Atlas 2013. Forcing elements on the mixed layer in terms of surface-forced turbulent mixing from mechanical forcing of wind stress and buoyancy forcing (from heat flux as well as freshwater flux) in the Sulawesi Sea is provided by using a reanalysis dataset. The MLD is estimated directly on grid profiles with interpolated levels based on chosen density fixed criterion of 0.03 kg.m<sup>-3</sup> and temperature criterion of 0.5°C difference from the surface. The results show that mixed layer depth in the Sulawesi Sea varies both spatially and temporally. Generally, the deepest MLD was occurred during the southwest monsoon (JJA), and the lowest MLD was occurred during the first transition (MAM) and second transition monsoon (SON). Strengthening and weakening MLD are influenced by mechanical forcing from wind stress and buoyancy flux. In the Sulawesi Sea, the mixed layer deepening coincides with the occurrence of a maximum in wind stress, and low buoyancy flux at the surface. This condition is the opposite when mixed layer shallowing occurs.

<p class="Papertext"><strong>Modeling Carbonate System in the Java Sea</strong>. Besides the global fossil fuel burning activities, forest fires in Kalimantan could potentially increase atmospheric CO<sub>2</sub> concentrations, impacting air-sea CO<sub>2</sub> gas exchange in the Java Sea and changing the balance of the marine carbonate system. This study uses a marine carbonate model to examine the processes that control CO<sub>2</sub> flux in the Java Sea and their relationship to CO<sub>2</sub> increase in the atmosphere. OCMIP-2 (<em>Ocean Carbon-Cycle Model Intercomparison Model Project, Phase-2</em>) is performed in this marine carbonate model coupled with the marine ecosystem model. The model results show that the quantity of carbon air flux differs during February and October 2000. More considerable flux is produced during February 2000, where the wind speeds are higher than in October 2000. However, the wind speeds have less impact when the CO<sub>2</sub> level in the atmosphere rises significantly. Due to the influence of a relatively high surface temperature in the tropical Java sea, the Java Sea functions as a carbon source to the atmosphere in general. In this case, the role of the <em>solubility pump</em> is more significant than that of biological processes in carbon absorption. Moreover, increased CO<sub>2</sub> in the atmosphere could alter the partial pressure equilibrium. In the case of 2002 forest fires (atmospheric CO<sub>2</sub> = 460 ppm), the carbon source of the Java Sea was less than before forest fires and even became carbon sink when atmospheric CO<sub>2</sub> rose to 1135.2 ppm based on the highest SSP scenario in 2100. This modeling also reveals marine acidification issues and could rapidly assess the future changes in marine ecosystems due to CO<sub>2</sub> levels rising in the atmosphere.</p>

<p class="Papertext"><strong>The Preference of The Sandfish Holothuria scabra on Macroalgae-Based Feed. </strong>The sandfish, <em>Holothuria scabra</em>, is one ofthe marine species that has the potential to be developed as a source of high-value functional food. However, the growth of sandfish is still constrained by the availability of suitable feed. This study aimed to determine the level of preference of sea cucumbers for artificial feed made from macroalgae. This study used six main ingredients: control (sea-sand),  FF-1 (commercial shrimp feed), FF-2 (<em>Padina</em> sp.), FF-3 (<em>Ulva</em> sp.), FF-4 (<em>Sargassum</em> sp.), FF-5 (combination). A completely randomized design with three replications was implemented. Nutritional values of feed and the sandfish body, feed consumption, specific growth rate (SGR), survival, and water quality were investigated. The results revealed that all treatments had a 100 percent survival rate, even though the SGR for all treatmentswere negative. Artificial feed made from <em>Padina</em> sp. (FF-2) had the highest average feed consumption of 0.51 gram/day. This value was significantly greater than the other treatments (p&lt;0.05). The SGR reached a positive value in the last week of the maintenance phase. The nutritional quality of the sandfish body generally decreased compared to the initial rearing condition. On the other hand, water quality was optimal for sandfish growth throughout the experiment.It can be concluded that the feed derived from <em>Padina</em> sp. is preferable for <em>Holothuria scabra </em>and has the potential to be further developed.</p>

<strong>Vertical mixing in the northern Maluku Sea and Talaud Waters in February 2021. </strong>The spatial variability of water mass mixing in the northern Maluku Sea and Talaud waters are presented based on the results of Eastern Indonesia Expedition (EIT) 2021 using RV Baruna Jaya VIII-LIPI. The turbulent kinetic energy dissipation rate was obtained using the Kunze-Williams-Briscoe (KWB) Method calculated from CTD (Conductivity, Temperature, Depth) and LADCP (Lowered Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler) datasets. We found the dissipation rate in the core layer of North Pacific Subtropical Water (NPSW) and North Pacific Intermediate Water (NPIW) are in the order of 10<sup>-6</sup> W/kg and 10<sup>-8</sup> W/kg, respectively. The KWB Method used in this study is also proven comparable with the Thorpe Method.

<div><strong>The Influence of Nitrate in Metal Biocorrosion caused by Sulfate Reducing Bacteria from Saguling Hydropower</strong>. The corrosion facilitated and accelerated by the activities of microorganism is called biocorrosion. Sulfate reducing bacteria (SRB) is known as the bacteria that cause biocorrosion in anaerobic condition by using sulfate as the final electron acceptor. Biocorrosion reduces equipment lifetime and increases maintenance cost in industry. In the cooling system in Saguling hydropower, corrosion was commonly caused by utilization of contaminated water due to anorganic and organic waste, especially sulfate. In this research, sulfate reducing bacteria was isolated from biofilms in the cooling system of Saguling Hydropower. Molecular analysis using PCR-DGGE method with dsrB gene (350 bp) as molecular markers showed that SRB consortium contained 12 bands and assumed as different species of SRB. SRB consortium was tested to determine its biocorrosion activity over metal material of ST37 (carbon steel) and SUS304 (stainless steel). The consortium then treated with 7 different nitrate concentrations to determine its effect against the sulfate reducing bacteria activity. SRB consortium caused higher corrosion to ST37 than SUS304L, with the corrosion rate of 0.07660 mm/year and 0.00265 mm/year, respectively. Concentration of 10 mM nitrate effectively inhibited corrosion rate on ST37 and caused the changes in sulfate reducing bacteria communities, indicated by the disappearance of 6 bands in DGGE profile</div>

The enactment of the PSBB (Large-scale Social Restriction) on April to May 2020 due to COVID-19 pandemic, has reduced residents’ activities, especially in Java Island, the most populous area in Indonesia with high anthropological activities. This policy may affect the conditions of atmospheric and water environment around the island of Java. NO<sub>2</sub> and CO concentrations in atmosphere along with chlorophyll-a concentrationin the ocean are environmental indicators that can be observed through satellite imagery. Satellite data TROPOMI and CMEMS were used to investigate the variation of those concentrations in the atmosphere and ocean during PSBB. Oceanographic and atmospheric daily data of each parameter over the Java Island region were retrieved and merged into gridded data with 1 km spatial resolution to be compared. Variations of chlorophyll-a concentration within the same month over the previous years were also taken into account. NO<sub>2</sub>, CO, and chlorophyll-a concentration were fluctuating during the PSBB period, but tended to decrease in the early phase of PSBB.The higher concentration of chlorophyll-a concentrated in the northern coastal areas of Java Island. In Jakarta and Surabaya, chlorophyll-a concentrations value during April-May 2020 were decreased by 48% and 27% compared to the previous three years’ averages. Human activities were thought to be the main factor influencing variations in the concentration of NO<sub>2</sub>, CO, and chlorophyll-a during PSBB enactment
