Padang lamun merupakan habitat penting pesisir yang memiliki peran kunci dalam ekosistem pesisir. Kawasan ini merupakan area asuhan bagi ikan-ikan kecil, udang, persembunyian biota dari predatornya, pendaur zat hara, serta penyerap nutrien dari limpasan air laut yang dapat membantu menstabilkan sedimen dan kejernihan air. Kepulauan Tanimbar merupakan salah satu lokasi di Provinsi Maluku dengan potensi sebaran lamun yang cukup luas, namun informasi mengenai sebaran lamun di kawasan ini tidak terdata dengan baik. Teknologi penginderaan jauh merupakan salah satu alternatif untuk mengisi gap data di area yang luas dan sulit dijangkau, termasuk untuk memetakan sebaran lamun di Kepulauan Tanimbar. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menyediakan data dasar sebaran dan luas habitat lamun di pesisir Kepulauan Tanimbar. Metode yang digunakan adalah analisis citra penginderaan jauh Landsat 8, menerapkan penajaman citra untuk perairan dangkal menggunakan algoritma Lyzenga. Citra Landsat yang digunakan Landsat Surface Reflectance liputan path/row 106/65 dan 106/66 tahun perekaman 2017. Pengambilan data lapangan dilakukan pada tanggal 1-10 November 2017. Metode pengambilan data lamun dilakukan menggunakan metode seagrass watch . Hasil pengolahan citra menunjukkan lamun terdistribusi merata di seluruh pesisir Kepulauan Tanimbar dengan luas total 5.615,63 hektar dengan tutupan terpadat di sekitar Pulau Seira. Hasil survei lapangan menunjukkan tutupan lamun terpadat dijumpai di Formusan dengan tutupan lamun rata-rata 95%. Kondisi lamun paling baik berada di daerah Sabal, didukung kondisi air yang sangat jernih dengan substrat utama pasir. Berdasarkan hasil pengamatan lapangan, jenis lamun yang ditemukan antara lain: E n h alu s a c o r oid e s , T h ala s sia h e m p ric hii, C y m o d o c e a s e r r ula t a , C y m o d o c e a rotundata, Syringodi um isoetifolium, Halodule uninervis, Halophila ovalis, dan Halophila minor .

<em>Seagrasses habitats have both physical and ecological functions that support adjacent waters qualities and its dwelling organisms. There are varies of pressure on seagrass environmental, especially due to people activities that could decrease its function and habitat stabilities. The study aimed to determine about seagrass habitat stabilities from its species composition and/or densities. Line transect-plots and exploration methods were used in five locations of Manokwari coastal waters, that were, Andai, Rendani, Wosi, Briosi, and Tanjung Manggewa. There are five pioneer species (Cymodocea rotundata, Halodule pinifolia, H. uninervis, Syringodium isoetifolium, Halophila ovalis) and 3 climax species (Cymodocea serrulata, Enhalus acoroides, Thalassia hemprichii). The pioneer only found in Andai and Wosi, however both pioneer and climax encountered in three other locations. In Rendani and Tanjung Manggewa higher density of climax species (T. hemprichii) were 617.7 and 828.0 stands m-2, respectively, although in Briosi the higher pioneer (C. rotundata) of 570.7 stands m-2. These conditions showed that seagrass habitat in Rendani and Tanjung Manggewa are more stable compared to Briosi, as well as Andai and Wosi. It concluded that pioneer species found in newly formed habitat or disturbed, on the other hand, climax in more stable habitat.</em>

AbstractWith the potential adverse effects of climate change, it is essential to enhance the understanding of marine ecosystem dynamics, which can be driven by the co-evolutionary interaction between autotrophs and herbivores. This study looked into the autotroph-herbivore interactions in Malaysian waters, mainly to determine if autotroph nutritional quality significantly influences herbivore consumption rates. We documented the relative consumption rate of a generalist herbivore (Chanos chanos Forsskål) obtained from the Straits of Malacca through multiple feeding trials using 12 macroalgal species collected from different coastal areas of the Straits of Malacca, the Straits of Johor, and the South China Sea. The herbivore fed selectively on the tested macroalgal species, with the most and least consumed species having the lowest and highest total nitrogen content, respectively. Besides total nitrogen content, the least consumed species also had the highest total phenolic content. Interestingly, we observed that the herbivore generally preferred to consume filamentous macroalgae, especially those collected from the South China Sea. Overall, our findings demonstrated that the feeding behaviour of a generalist herbivore could be influenced by the nutritional quality of the autotrophs, which may depend directly or indirectly on other factors such as autotroph morphology and geography.

Abstract On 19 June 2017, Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines launched the Sulu-Sulawesi Seas Patrol (SSSP), a framework of maritime security cooperation aimed at protecting the Sulu Sea and Sulawesi (Celebes) Sea from maritime crimes. The three nations had announced that their cooperation might be modelled on the Malacca Straits Patrol (MSP), a similar form of cooperation between Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, and Thailand to safeguard the Straits of Malacca and Singapore. This article primarily compares both cooperative frameworks, and argues that the SSSP should be modelled on the MSP, subject to certain conditions. Where there are insufficient best practices in the MSP, this article contrasts the SSSP with other similar cooperative frameworks, including the Combined Maritime Forces and the ECOWAS Integrated Maritime Strategy. In addition, this article also discusses the relationship between the SSSP and MSP on one hand, and the ASEAN maritime security mechanisms on the other hand.
