The three drivers of environmental change: climate change, population growth and economic growth, result in a range of pressures on our coastal environment. Coastal development for industry and farming are a major pressure on terrestrial and environmental quality. In their process most of industry using sea water as cooling water. When water used as a coolant is returned to the natural environment at a higher temperature, the change in temperature decreases oxygen supply and affects marine ecosystem. This research is presents results from ongoing study on application of Landsat 8 for monitoring the intensity and distribution area of sea surface temperature changed by the heated effluent discharge from the power plant on Paiton coast, Probolinggo, East Java province. Remote sensing technology using a thermal band in Operational Land Imager (OLI) sensor of Landsat 8 sattelite imagery (band 10 and band 11) are used to determine the intensity and distribution of temperature changes. Estimation of sea surface temperature (SST) using remote sensing technology is applied to provide ease of marine temperature monitoring with a large area coverage. The method used in this research using the Split Window Algorithm (SWA) methods which is an algorithm with ability to perform extraction of sea surface temperature (SST) with brigthness temperature (BT) value calculation on the band 10 and band 11 of Landsat 8. Formula which was used in this area is Ts = BT10 + (2.946*(BT10 - BT11)) - 0.038 (Ts is the surface temperature value (°C), BT10 is the brightness temperature value (°C) Band 10, BT11 is the brightness temperature value (°C) Band 11. The result of this algorithm shows the good performance with Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) amount 0.406.

The development and expansion of tourism region is a complex phenomenon and it is necessary to be studied interdisciplinary. Nowadays, the development of tourism region in Baluran National Park increases rapidly. In this case, the growth and expansion of tourism region has a close relation with sustainability, tourist growth restrictions, and carrying capacity, three aspects must be concerned in managing tourism. The purpose of this research is to manage the sustainability of coastal tourism using carrying capacity concept. Based on the results, there are four coastal tourism activities which suitable in Baluran National Park, there are, beach tourism, snorkelling, diving, and mangrove excursion. Beach tourism in the recreation category with a total area of 92 ha can hold up to 9200 tourists/day, diving area up to 189 ha can hold up to 1512 tourists/day, snorkelling area up to 101 ha can hold up to 673 tourists/day and mangrove excursion with an area of 272 ha can hold up to10880 tourists/day. Thus, the total tourists per day for the coastal tourism is 22.265 person.

Abstract. The resources of Baluran National Park have been used for marine and coastal ecotourism. The increasing number of visitors has led to the increasing of tourists and its related activities. This condition will cause the degradation of resources and the welfare of local communities. This research aims to determine the sustainability of coastal ecotourism management by calculating the effective number of tourists who can be accepted. The study uses the concept of tourism carrying capacity, consists the ecological environment, economic, social and physical carrying capacity. The results of the combined carrying capacity analysis in Baluran National Park ecotourism shows that the number of 3.288 people per day (151.248 tourists per year) is the maximum number of accepted tourists. The current number of tourist arrivals is only 241 people per day (87.990 tourists per year) which is far below the carrying capacity.

Flood inundation and shoreline erosion have long occurred in Sayung, Demak area, the northern coast of Central Java Province, Indonesia. The people of Sayung planted mangroves to reduce the flood inundation and shoreline erosion in that area. They built the bamboo array to protect the juvenile mangroves from incoming waves. The bamboo acts as a breakwater and is considered an environmentally friendly permeable structure to reduce wave energy and stimulate sedimentation. This paper discusses three bamboo arrays’ effectiveness in wave reduction using Numerical Wave Tank (NWT). The interaction of regular waves with a permeable structure comprising a single row of vertical circular poles was conducted based on the Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) method. The effect of different waves and structural dimensions on the permeable structure was investigated based on the structure’s transmission coefficient (Kt) performance. The investigations have revealed that structures with the combination of Vertical-Horizontal formation (VH) attenuate more wave energy than Vertical Only (VO) and the combination of Vertical-Diagonal formation (VD). As the wave steepness increases, the transmission coefficient decreases. Likewise, the transmission coefficient (Kt) is decreasing when the wave height is increasing. On the other hand, the transmission coefficient (Kt) increases as the wave period increases. As the structure spacing ratio between end-to-end and center-to-center spacing (e/S) rises, the transmission coefficient (Kt) also increases. The diameter (D) has a slight effect on the transmission coefficient (Kt). However, the center-to-center spacing (S) has a more significant impact than the diameter on the transmission coefficient, affecting an inclination on the transmission coefficient (Kt) when center-to-center spacing (S) goes up.

Artificial reefs are commonly used to rehabilitate natural coral reef damage. Artificial reef serves as a new habitat for marine life and simultaneously protect the shoreline by reducing wave energy without reducing the aesthetics of the protected beach. As an artificial reef can serve as submerged breakwaters, the level of their effectiveness in reducing incoming wave need to be investigated. The new form hexagonal shape artificial reef is proposed then evaluated based on the transmission coefficient. The tests for various configurations of a hexagonal reef in a 1:10 scale were conducted in the wave flume of Department Ocean Engineering, Institut Teknologi Sepuluh Nopember, Surabaya. The result of tests was presented and showed that the new proposed hexagonal shape artificial reefs have better performance compared to cylindrical and cubical shape artificial reefs.

The effect of culture media on the number and bioactivity of marine invertebrates associated fungi. Biodiversitas 21: 407-412. Marine ecosystem is rich with microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi either as free-living or in association with macro-organisms. Marine invertebrates provide suitable habitats for fungi by supplying space, food, and other chemicals stuff that in some cases is a reciprocal relationship or called mutualism symbiotic. Some marine invertebrates have interesting activities that are useful for human life such as anticancer, antifungal, and antibacterial. Many reports indicated that the fungal growth and their production of bioactive compounds were highly affected by the media or nutrition. In order to understand the effect of media on the number and bioactivity of the isolates, we collected the samples of marine invertebrates from two locations in Makassar. Invertebrate specimens were collected by hand during SCUBA diving at 3-10 m depths. The fungi were isolated by tapping method either on potato dextrose agar (PDA) or poor marine agar (PMA). The samples were collected from the Samalona water as much as 16 specimens that provided 30 and 18 fungal isolates on PDA and PMA, respectively, while, from the Barrang Cadi water, a total 14 specimens were collected to provide 12 and 3 isolates on PDA and PMA, respectively. All fungi from PMA inhibited the V. harveyi, V. vulnificus, and V. parahaemolyticus with weak, medium, and strong activities, while, the isolates from PDA were mostly not active against the Vibrios. Based on the molecular analyses, the active isolates were identified as Aspergillus flavus, A. oryzae, A. aculeatus, Talaromyces minioluteus, Hypocrea jecorina, Gliomastix murorum, Myrothecium inundatum, and Curvularia avinis. In conclusion, the isolates from PMA showed higher potential as source of antivibrio substances.

Mangrove ecosystems are resources of landscapes, flora, fauna, and local communities that interact with each other. Mangrove ecosystems have important ecological, economic and social functions for coastal development. Conservation is a means of involving the community in mangrove recovery and management activities as a preservation effort. This paper examines the potential of mangrove ecosystems in the southern coast of Bangkalan as a conservation area. The fact, mangrove ecosystems have a pressure that decreased area significantly. Data collection used the quadratic transect method and satellite image analysis. Mangroves on the southern coast of Bangkalan have increased area over the past 10 years. Mangrove vegetation found consisted of 4 families and 8 species. There are also found fauna i.e. insects, snakes, primates and birds. The observations indicated that conservation of mangrove forests on the southern coast of Bangkalan needs to be done. This effort can be supported by ecotourism activities which are expected to improve the community welfare.
