Sail Bunaken Minimum Impact


Based on the results of independent research Indonesian Navy Diving Club (INDC), the implementation of the record-breaking word and diving on the beach Malalayang effect, at least in the marine ecosystem in the Bay of Manado, North Sulawesi.

INDC research and development coordinator, said Joshua David Pahlano in Manado, Sunday, research in collaboration with the course of Manado State Polytechnic Marine Ecotourism and Kyushu University in Japan, weeks, months and three months after the events in Malalayang.

August 2009 Sail Bunaken in Manado leave a separate record of world history is a parade of ships in the bay of Bitung Manado with the highest number of vessels 32, not like hunting and smaller vessels. Previously the largest number of ships than South Korea.

There were two Guinness World Records record for the largest mass dive independence day ceremonies and below sea level in Cote Malalayang, gulf coast of Manado, followed more than 2000 divers.

According to a doctoral candidate from Kyushu University in Japan, which is responsible for coral reef ecology, the ecology of the marine environment from activities in a mass nature may still have an impact on marine ecosystems.

Based on the environmental carrying capacity study of the effect of the presence of the divers on the reef ecosystem boundaries more than the standard 16 divers per day site may have a negative impact on the lives of reef ecosystems, which range from behavioral changes in the fish and other biota to the closure of coral broken as a result of direct interaction with various marine biota.

"During the exhibition, with more than 2,000 people have a problem in itself, but based on research by measuring and identifying the components of the soil affected coral biota particularly encouraging results indicate the total value of less than five percent," he said. .

For fish, coral and other temporal form of exotic biota change, but less than three months in the general supervision biota biota is occupied habitat.

David says coastal areas around the front of the terminal to Malalayang Boboca before pillar has a very unique ecosystem and complete, the mixture between the seagrass Ruppia maritima bed halophila, scattered reef limestone young people, equipped with a muddy sand substrate on the rocky coast.

"Between a depth of three to nine feet of coral reefs by the seagrass Ruppia maritima bed halophila and sand substrate, 10 to 30 meters is dominated by relatively flat mud-sand substrates," he said.

With this condition, he said, offers unique biodiversity is clearly a very unique, as a combination between biota in Bunaken and Lembeh for coral-sandy mud habitat.

"Activities of mass submarine at a depth between 10-20 meters diniliai appropriate because it gives a small negative impact. Generally, corals at a depth of about nine meters involved, the depth of three meters, a bias instead to remember is location of the beach for public recreation, "he said.

Rd regional chairman of the Committee in 2009, as Chairman of the INDC Col (March) Suhartono, said it was satisfied with the results of this study complements the previous record of three in the series of events Sail Bunaken.

"We certainly do not stop until August yesterday, as a kind of care the responsibility for other activities such as sea food yesterday successfully carried out in the Lembeh Strait on the beach again Malalayang be," he said.

At the moment, he said, TNI-AL Lantamal VIII with divers of Miori DC, DC Larascasse, DC-Dragon diving and divers from diving clubs in and out of Manado, a artificial reefs or artificial reefs will be exactly the place be released submarines Malalayang mass gwr.

"It is not only a monument to the historic sights, but it is a real contribution to marine conservation," he said.

Reef restoration initiatives in this place, he says, is a module to use reefbLOCK conservation measures to improve not only the nature to restore, but also, simultaneously, a second option to add or multiply the good ecosystem health and can be used as a tourist attraction provided.

"Housereef who later formed directly or indirectly, the sale value and positive impact on the surrounding community level," he said.
