“…Both the regions have been designated as a Marine Protected Area (MPA). However, in the Malvan Manrine Sanctuary, the absence of a robust management system and opposition of the MPA from the local population resulted severe local disturbances includes fishing, wastewater drainage, and unregulated recreational activities along with climate change disturbance [30,32].…”

Coral reefs are one of the most sensitive, productive, and invaluable biological resources on the earth. However, coral reefs are facing unprecedented stress due to ongoing climate changes and intensified anthropogenic disturbances globally. Elevated Sea Surface Temperature (SST) has emerged as the most imminent threat to the thermos-sensitive reef-building corals. The 2010–2014-2016 El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) caused prolonged marine heat waves (MHWs) that led to the most widespread coral bleaching and mortality in the tropical Indi-Pacific regions. Coral bleaching prediction is vital for the management of the reef biodiversity, ecosystem functioning, and services. Recent decades, satellite remote sensing has emerged as a convenient tool for large-scale coral reef monitoring programs. As thermal stress is a critical physical attribute for coral bleaching hence, the present study examines the effectiveness of the elevated SSTs as a proxy to predict coral bleaching in shallow water marginal reefs. Advanced Very High-Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) satellite data from the NOAA Coral Reef Watch’s (CRW) platform has been used for this study. Coral bleaching indices like Bleaching Threshold (BT), Positive SST Anomaly (PA), and Degree Heating Weeks (DHW) are computed to analyze the thermal stress on the coral reefs. The computed thermal stress from satellite-derived SST data over regions concurrence with the mass coral bleaching (MCB) events. This study concludes that in the last decades (2010 to 2019) the coral cover around these regions has dramatically declined due to higher SST, which indicates that the thermal stress induced recurrent bleaching events attributed to the coral loss.

“…Pengembangan kegiatan pariwisata di pulau kecil berpotensi memberikan dampak (Bentz et al, 2013; Graham et a.l., 2017), baik positif maupun negatif terhadap lingkungan pulau kecil dan sekitarnya (Cornelia, 2014). Dampak tersebut dapat dilihat dari segi fisik, sosial budaya dan ekonomi (De et al, 2020;Bruce et al, 2002). Dampak positif perlu dioptimalkan sementara dampak negatif tentunya harus diminimalisir (Wardani et al, 2017).…”

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menilai status keberlanjutan pembangunan pulau kecil untuk kepentingan pariwisata bahari di Pulau Benan dan Pulau Abang, Kepulauan Riau. Modifikasi dari kombinasi metode Rapsmile dan Rapbeachtour menghasilkan Rapsmiletourman yang berbasis metode Rapfish telah digunakan dalam kajian ini. Modifikasi metode dimaksudkan untuk melengkapi metode sebelumnya agar dihasilkan metode yang memiliki kekhususan dalam menilai pembangunan pulau-pulau kecil yang berorientasi spesifik pada kepentingan pariwisata bahari. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa pembangunan pulau kecil di Pulau Benan untuk kepentingan pariwisata bahari berada dalam status cukup berkelanjutan sementara Pulau Abang masih berada dalam status kurang berkelanjutan. Berdasarkan indikator (atribut) dari lima dimensi yang dipertimbangkan, dimensi teknologi dan kelembagaan di kedua pulau memberikan peran yang besar dalam membentuk indeks keberlanjutan pembangunan pulau.

“…However, the continuous growth of diving tourism, especially in the context of MPAs, has raised much concern regarding its potential ecological impact (Casoli et al, 2017;Lucrezi et al, 2013;Lucrezi et al, 2020;De et al, 2020;Pagès-Escolà et al, 2020;Giglio et al, 2020). Several studies have pointed out that uncontrolled and intensive SCUBA diving activity can seriously affect reef communities both directly, through intentional (i.e.…”
