KRITERIA BAKU KERUSAKAN TERUMBU KARANG


Terumbu karang merupakan rumah bagi 25% dari seluruh biota laut dan merupakan ekosistem di dunia yang paling rapuh dan mudah punah. Oleh karena itu pengelolaan ekosistem terumbu karang demi kelestarian fungsinya sangat penting.

Terumbu karang Indonesia menurut Tomascik, 1997 mempunyai luas kurang lebih 85.707 Km2, yang terdiri dari fringing reefs 14.542 Km2, barrier reefs 50.223 Km2, oceanic platform reefs 1.402 Km2, dan attols seluas 19.540 Km2. Terumbu karang telah dimanfaatkan oleh masyarakat melalui berbagai cara. Akhir-akhir ini penangkapan biota dengan cara merusak kelestarian sumber daya, seperti penggunaan bahan peledak atau zat kimia beracun (potassium sianida) telah terjadi di seluruh perairan Indonesia.

Masyarakat di sekitar kawasan terumbu karang merupakan kalangan yang paling berkepentingan dalam pemanfaatannya, sebaliknya, kalangan ini pula yang akan menerima akibat yang timbul dari kondisi baik maupun buruknya ekosistem ini. Oleh karena itu pengendalian kerusakan terumbu karang sangat diperlukan untuk menjaga kelestarian fungsi ekosistem yang sangat berguna bagi masyarakat pesisir


Terumbu karang merupakan sumber daya alam yang mempunyai berbagai fungsi sebagai habitat tempat berkembang- biak dan berlindung bagi sumber daya hayati laut. Dengan semakin meningkatnya kegiatan pembangunan telah menimbulkan dampak terhadap kerusakan terumbu karang, oleh karena itu perlu dilakukan berbagai upaya pengendaliannya. Salah satu upaya untuk melindungi terumbu karang dari kerusakan tersebut dilakukan berdasarkan kriteria baku kerusakan.


Menteri Negara Lingkungan Hidup telah menetapkan criteria baku kerusakan terumbu karang sebagaimana tertuang dalam KEP MEN LH No. 4 Tahun 2001. Kriteria Baku Kerusakan Terumbu Karang ditetapkan berdasarkan prosentase luas tutupan terumbu karang yang hidup. (pasal 2 ayat (1)), Kriteria Baku Kerusakan Terumbu Karang sebagaimana dimaksud merupakan salah satu cara untuk menentukan status kondisi terumbu karang yang didasarkan pada penggunaan metode Transek Garis Bentuk Pertumbuhan Karang.

Grand Strategy Marine Biodiversity Conservation

Background
Our future depends on coastal and marine ecosystems. They serve the indispensable role of feeding human populations and are essential in climate cycles and other global processes that sustain life. Being an archipelagic state located in a tropic region, Indonesian coastal and marine ecosystems are home to a vast array of flora and fauna, from a wider range of taxonomic groups than on land, constituting a huge pool of marine biodiversity (mega-biodiversity).
The existence of marine biodiversity and its ecosystem is essential for development; and; in addition, as an intrinsic part of the culture, not just of tribal and coastal people but also as a vital part of the natural and cultural heritage of the world.
Special zones are mainly concentrated in small areas of coral reefs, sea-grass beds and mangroves around the coasts, which provide rich feeding and breeding grounds for fish. Coral reefs are particularly at risk, from global warming, mining for building materials, land-based pollution and siltation, over-fishing, destructive fishing and unregulated tourism. While such areas are small in comparison with the open seas, they are the most diverse and threatened, they are as well as the source of many livelihoods of coastal communities.
Based on the facts above, marine biodiversity and its ecosystem are facing serious degradation, therefore, attempts to restore their natural condition, as well as the sustainability of marine biodiversity and its ecosystems, is mandatory.
This is true as the dichotomy between utilization and conservation prevails. For the future, we should leave such old thinking behind. Conservation efforts play an integral part in the restoration of natural conditions for marine biodiversity and its ecosystems. At the same time, the natural resources from coastal and marine regions are very important assets for the development of the nation. Consequently, they may be cautiously exploited by taking into account the principals of perpetual and sustainability use.
In agreement with statement above, the vision, missions and strategies are designed to achieve the conservation as well as utilization in harmony.

Vision
Perpetual marine biodiversity and its ecosystems for the welfare of the nation

Missions
a. Optimal protection, conservation, and utilization of marine biodiversity and its ecosystems.
b. Building of awareness and a sense of responsibility in order to secure the role of the stakeholders in perpetuating marine biodiversity and its ecosystems
c. Optimization of the functions and utilization of marine biodiversity and its ecosystems in sustainable manner towards the welfare of the Indonesian people

Strategies
a. Improvement and development of programs for conservation of marine biodiversity and its ecosystems.
b. Upgrading the human resources capacity and other resources taking into account the local knowledge.
c. Strengthening institutional capacity and law enforcement.
d. Expanding cooperation and networking among stakeholders.
e. Monitoring, controlling, and surveillance for conservation of marine biodiversity and its ecosystems.
