Evaluation of Coremap Phase 2 in the Eastern Indonesia Based on the Changes in Coral Coverage

Abstract: One of the performance indicators of COREMAP phase 2 (COREMAP 2) was a significant improvement of live coral cover in 80% of all sampling sites. The aims of this study are to find out and evaluate the trend of live coral cover during COREMAP 2. Annual monitoring of coral reefs was conducted in all sites of COREMAP 2 in the eastern Indonesia. Those sites were: Pangkep, Selayar, Buton, Wakatobi, Sikka, Biak Numfor and Raja Ampat. Permanent transects were applied at each site. Life-form of benthic data including … Show more

“…The coral cover was found to be 12.76% in transect 1 and 5.87% in transect 2, indicating a decrease in coral cover towards the section of Tidung Besar Island. This observation aligns with existing research that identifies terrestrial human activities, such as fishing, tourism-related boat transportation, indiscriminate waste disposal, and snorkeling, as causes of coral reef degradation [14][15][16] . Human activities, including snorkeling, were observed to cause damage to coral reefs, with visitors trampling on corals in prohibited areas 15,17 .…”

“…The reef fish species composition was calculated in individual/meter per square. Coral colonies' percentage of benthic lifeform coverage was grouped into thirteen based on the output of category benthic lifeforms [34] developed and modified by the Indonesian Research Centre (LIPI) [19,37]. Coral health analysis was performed according to coral health quality by [37] on criteria standards for damaged coral reefs.…”

“…This situation can be found in almost all coral reef waters in Indonesia. Of the total identified coral reef coverage (2,517.84 Ha), about 35.15% falls in the damaged category [19], even included in the critical category. This condition is exacerbated by the bad behaviour of fishermen and lobster catchers, who generally leave the rest of their fishing gear damaged.…”

“…Degradasi terumbu karang terutama diakibatkan oleh sedimentasi, pencemaran perairan, penambangan karang, praktik penangkapan ikan yang merusak, badai, peningkatan populasi predator terumbu karang dan peningkatan suhu air laut akibat pemanasan global (Salim, 2012;Giyanto, 2017). Beberapa Penelitian telah menginformasikan bahwa degradasi terumbu Karang adalah diakibatkan oleh kombinasi faktor alam dan faktor aktivitas manusia (antropogenik), seperti perubahan iklim (Ateweberhan et al, 2013;Bruno et al, 2019), polusi (Riegl dan Purkis 2012;Ateweberhan et al, 2013) , sedimentasi (Risk dan Edinger 2011;Erftemeijer et al, 2012;Jones et al, 2019), penangkapan ikan yang merusak (Darling dan Stephanie, 2017), penambangan karang (Brown & Dunne 1988;Caras & Zohar,2009;Flower et al, 2017), wisata bahari, dan pengembangan kawasan pesisir (Vo et al, 2013).…”
