Assessment of plasma malondialdehyde levels among free-diver fishermen in southeast Maluku district: exploring influencing factors on oxidative stress.

Indonesia, with its expansive territorial waters, hosts numerous fishing communities residing on various islands. Many of these communities rely on diving activities, predominantly free diving without standardized safety equipment. This practice poses risks, including the potential for hypoxia-induced oxidative stress, which plays a role in disease pathogenesis. This study aimed to investigate the levels of malondialdehyde (MDA) in freediving fishermen and explore potential influencing factors. The research involved 30 freediving fishermen, aged 20-60, who engaged in diving at least twice weekly over the last 3 months. Blood plasma MDA levels were assessed using the Will method. Results revealed a median age of 40.5 years (range: 20-59), a body mass index of 23.1 ± 2.8, and a mean blood pressure of 132/85 mmHg. A significant portion of the subjects exhibited smoking habits (90%) and alcohol consumption (76.7%). The median MDA level among subjects was measured at 0.42 nmol/mL (range: 0.34-0.70). However, no discernible relationship was found between smoking habits, alcohol consumption, and MDA level categories, as determined by the Fisher exact test (p > 0.05). While these findings shed light on the MDA levels in freediving fishermen, further research is warranted to explore additional factors that may influence these levels. This comprehensive understanding is crucial for addressing the health risks associated with free diving practices in this unique population.

Contamination of Mercury (Hg) and Lead (Pb) in Seawater and Sediments in Coastal waters of Ohoitel Village, Southeast Maluku District

The results of Hg levels obtained in sediment at station I amounted to 0.08557 ± 0.0003 mg/l, station II amounted to 0.07761 ± 0.0004 mg/l and station III amounted to 0.08733 ± 0.0004 mg/l. The results of the analysis of Pb content in seawater at station I was 0.00050 ± 0.000003 mg/l, station II was 0.000047 ± 0.000003 mg/l and station III was 0.000038 ± 0.000005 mg/l. Based on the results obtained, it shows that it is still below the quality standard threshold that refers to PP RI No 22 0f 2021 for water and ANZECC 2000 for heavy metal Hg in sediment and USEPA for heavy metal Pb in sediment

Developing a masterplan for a sustainable marine sector in a small islands region: Integrated MCE spatial analysis for decision making

Strategy is essential in entering a war. The same framework of thinking also needs to be taken into consideration for sensitive tasks, especially those relating to community welfare. With no existing or realistic plan for the development of the fisheries and marine sector in Southeast Maluku Regency—a small island region considered to be a developing region inside the middle-development country of Indonesia—our aim was to craft a baseline masterplan for developing a sustainable marine sector in the regency. The use of multi-criteria evaluation (MCE) combined with spatial analysis for decision making. An analytic network process (ANP) is used to obtain weight priority and cluster weight before further processes with weight sum in ArcGIS. Three potential scenarios for a sustainable marine masterplan were identified: marine culture, fishing, and marine tourism. Each scenario went through three different stages of assessment involving experts from local government, researchers, and marine sector stakeholders. All maps have been normalized with the total population, and showed that 39% of the land in the region is not suitable for catching fisheries, whereas 13% is moderately suitable, and 48% shows fit as a developing area of fishing. As for marine culture, over 50% are not suitable to moderately suitable for marine culture, and 41% are suitable for marine culture. In the case of marine tourism, over 50% of the region of Southeast Maluku District is suitable for marine tourism. This is due to the fact that most villages and sub-districts are located on the coastline, which has beautiful scenery. The study will be used as a starting point for the development of the marine sector in the region in a way that is sustainable and based on the empirical resources.
