Measurement of Indonesian Marine Health Index to Assess The Health of The Coastal Ecosystem of Tuban, East Java

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to assess marine health on the scale of coastal water and reveal its potential to provide a benchmark for sustainable marine development activities in Tuban Regency. This study uses IKLI (Indeks Kesehatan Laut Indonesia) which is an OHI (Ocean Health Index) framework that has been modified according to the needs and the Indonesian environment. IKLI indicator used is adapted to the Tuban coastal environment. The results showed the overall IKLI value was 58 (out of 100) for the 2016-2020. IKLI value is based on 10 types of marine destinations, namely as a source of food (87), as a support for traditional fisheries (70), as a product of natural materials (65), as a source of livelihood and economy (90), as a provider of tourism and recreation services (80), based on the five objectives shows that the coastal ecosystem of Tuban contributes significantly to community livelihoods and the regional economy. The measurement of low-value IKLI for marine destination types as carbon storage (45), coastal protection (30), protection of species and iconic places (35); clean sea-water (33) and marine biodiversity (41) mean the coastal waters of Tuban with sandy beaches indicate the impact of sea-level rise and excessive activities in coastal areas causing pollution levels to increase.both.
