Soft Bottom Communities In Coastal Waters: A Benchmark For Policy Redirections
Keywords:
Soft Bottom, Communities, Coastal Waters, Benchmark, Policy RedirectionsAbstract
The types of sedimentation as physical characteristics of the coastal waters of Carigara Bay vary between stations. Primary and Secondary productivity in the soft bottom are chlorophyll A, plankton, and zooplankton while it was observed that the biological characteristics, mollusc-bivalve (such as punaw (Paphia amabilis), barinday (Tellina radiate), dunker indo pacific (Pteria levanti), and Nerita planopira), is dominant among the organisms. In terms of the potential sources of water pollution as an environmental condition, the following are noticeable: there is an inner input of pesticides from farms, and mangroves deforestation still exists. In terms of the condition of fisheries municipal ordinances, there is no policy or ordinance developed except for Fishery Laws for active gear however; there is a weak implementation of this existing policy. On the other hand, there is still availability of valuable natural resources in the coastal waters of Carigara Bay.
