Josephine Tui dan FMIPA Universitas Hasanuddin Prof. Dr. Alian Noor Abstrak Current biodiversity estimates suggest that modern coral reefs house between 4 and 5 of all described species. The origins and maintenance of these diverse ecosystem remains, however, poorly known, particularly as the relative importance of controls that maintain the structure of reef communities differ according to the scale of consideration. Altough the development of biodiversity is increasingly placed in a historical context, the development of a comprehensive model is hampered by the difficulty to develop a timeline of the biotic response to large scale environmental disturbance. The planned research will contribute to the understanding of temporal variability of assemblage structures to disentangle natural variability and anthropogenic impact in a reef system. In addition, it will show the response of the sensitive reef and inter reef environments to increased terrestrial influx related to increased anthropogenic influence. Combined this will provide valuable new insights towards the resilience and protection of coral reefs. Today, due to both global and local influences coral reefs around the world are facing a scenario of steady declines in coral cover punctuated by periodic large-scale perturbations. Our current understanding has offered much towards understanding spatial variation, but falls behind in explaining temporal dynamics. However, to assess whether and how ecosystem dynamics have changed over the past ~200 years, it is critical to document ecosystem dynamics before large human activity. Most datasets of reef biota cover short time-spans. In the Spermonde Archipelago SW Sulawesi, Indonesia there is the unique opportunity to built a data set spanning 30 years, complemented by sediment cores covering the past 500-1000 years. We propose a total system approach and take into account interaction between physical, geochemical and ecological processes. We will combine data on the assemblage composition of stony corals, sponges, large benthic foraminifera, and molluscs, with detailed assessments of environmental data benthic community structure, sedimentary facies and stable isotopes. Large benthic foraminifera are known to be abundant in both reef and inter reef environments, and are excellent model organisms to asses reef health. The detailed characterization of sedimentological parameters e.g.grain-size distribution, mineralogy, organic content will help to understand the current sediment distribution 38 Sekretariat Perizinan Penelitian Asing Kementerian Riset Dan Teknologi DIREKTORI PENELITIAN ASING DI INDONESIA 2010 pattern within the reef and, the often neglected, inter reef environments. The geochemical parameters will help to quantify temperature and salinity distribution through time. Assemblage composition of large benthic foraminifera, as well as sediment composition and geochemical analysis of the sediments in the cores will show the response of the system to environmental variability and the capacity to recover. The environmental tolerances of species as determined during the first part of the study will provide a framework for the interpretation of trends over years to hundreds of years. Our full system approach will result in valuable new insights in linking ecological resilience to environmental variability in coral reefs.

Abstrak The coral Reef Research Unit CRRU is a UK based research body that undertakes cross disciplinary research into coral reef and associated systems both in respect to the natural and social sciences. This is administered at the University of Essex under the direction of the author and encompasses an advisory board of some 40 academics, mostly from the UK but also from Indonesia e.g. UNHAS, EIJKMAN INSTITUTE, Australia, USA, Egypt, Seychelles and Honduras. The CRRU directs the research initiatives of Operation Wallacea. The primary focus of CRRU and Operation Wallacea activities within the Wakatobi is to examine and evaluate conservation strategies and to gain an understanding of system dynamics and both natural and anthropogenic factors that impede natural state biodiversity of coral reef and associated systems. The research undertaken within the Wakatobi is unique and utilizes a truly cross-disciplinary approach. Marine science research is mainly focused on the island of Hoga at the Hoga research centre but some of the social and fisheries aspect will require visits to nearby communities.

The quality of coral reefs is declining rapidly throughout the Archipelago and even the most remote reefs in unpopulated areas are subjected to increasing anthropogenic stresses. In 1997, approximately 29 of the reefs across the Archipelago were classed as “in good condition”, i.e. more than 50 live coral cover. 5 years later over 85 of the reefs in Indonesia and Malaysia are considered threatened with extinction. If this decline is to be halted it will be important to address the limited knowledge of connectivity and gene flow throughout the Archipelago. Evidence suggests resilient marine ecosystems require intact biological connectivity to allow the reseeding of populations after disturbance. The ability of reefs to recover after disturbance and adapt in the face of new stresses depends critically upon the supply of larvae or propagules that are available as recruits without this influx of new recruits there is no connectivity. Even if a particular reef is well managed and protected changes in the surrounding environment can adversely affect the number of recruits available reducing resilience and diversity. Maintenance of connectivity is not only important for the preservation of biodiversity and ecological integrity, but also for fisheries, tourism and recreation. This study will look at 12 broadcast spawning and 2 marine angiosperms. These 14 tax have a wide range of dispersal potentials ranging from 12 hrs to 210 days allowing 41 Sekretariat Perizinan Penelitian Asing Kementerian Riset Dan Teknologi DIREKTORI PENELITIAN ASING DI INDONESIA 2010 them to act as potential mode species for organisms that have similar life histories and dispersal potentials. Looking at a diverse range of dispersal potentials will reveal patterns and routes of connectivity throughout the archipelago. Determining connectivity within the marine environments is one of the many crucial steps that needs to be identified in order for a MPA to be successful. Despite this recognition, studies of connectivity in Indonesia are severely lacking. This study will use genetic methods to compare differences in the mitrochondrial DNA cytochrome c oxidase subunit-1 gene, rapidly evolving microsatellite markers for animals and the variable non-coding spacer between the atpB and rbcL genes of the chloroplast for plants. The proposed work will address the limited knowledge of connectivity throughout the Indo-Malay archipelago and will have significant implications for the design of future networks of connected MPAs throughout the Indo-Malay Archipelago. International NGOs such as Conservation International and The Nature Conservancy have identified the lack of knowledge regarding connectivity as a one of the limiting steps in the design of effective MPAs. The identification of priority areas for conservation will provide potential opportunities to efficiently assign limited resources to areas where MPAs have the greatest opportunity for success.

Yosephin Tuti H. 42 Sekretariat Perizinan Penelitian Asing Kementerian Riset Dan Teknologi DIREKTORI PENELITIAN ASING DI INDONESIA 2010 Abstrak Connectivity of coral reefs has been a major topic of interest in the scientific community of marine ecologists because it holds the key to understanding the evolutionary histories of coral reefs and decoding many of the observed biologicalecological patterns. In addition to satisfying our scientific curiosities, connectivity studies also have great practical value in the real world; knowledge of how biological communities are connected over different geographic scales are crucial in managing the resilience of these populations in ways such as through the designation of marine protected areas, while an understanding of the physical flow patterns through the body of water are essential in managing other components of the marine ecosystem, including pollution or the spread of diseases. Mass spawning of the corals in Singapore occurs just after the northeast monsoon where there exists a net westward current within the Singapore Strait, which is only about 20km at its widest point. Given the close proximity of these reefs, the coral reefs in Singapore are likely to be externally seeded by those in P. Bintan and Pulau Batam. Simple hydrodynamic models coupled with Lagrangian particle-tracking modules to simulate dispersal patterns of coral larvae released from the offshore islands south of Singapore showed that the larval plume tends to move to and fro along the strait with changes in tidal stream, and could potentially travel up to P. Batam at least. This could mean that there is a two-way exchange of larvae between Singapore and Indonesia’s Riau islands bordering the Singapore Strait. Knowledge of the direction and strength of connectivity between the two sides will allow policy makers to make informed decisions for more effective reef management initiatives. Proper management of the reefs is especially important in Singapore and Indonesia because they have been and are still subject to a significant amount of anthropogenic impacts due to economic development, with the former being affected by the development of the ports and competition for use of land space, whereas the latter reefs are more affected by the development of the tourism industry. Ongoing reef restoration efforts which are both labour-and cost-intensive will not be sustainable in the long run if there is no natural recruitment. Nevertheless, mitigation measures are urgently required to prevent further decline of the immediate reefs beyond the threshold level of resilience.

Abstrak The South East Asia and West Pacific SEA-WP region is a significant reservoir of the world’s richest marine biodiversity, but is deteriorating in its coastal ecosystems due to various environment threats. Then, conservation of SEA-WP coral reef biodiversity has become a primary concern. In order to provide a proper conservation strategy, the SEACEM Project aims to provide useful information concerning larval dispersal pattern and reef connectivity in the SEA-WP region, and thereby identifying important candidate areas for Marine Protected Areas MPAs. This project is based on numerical simulations of larval dispersal with bio-physical models and molecular biology analyses of meta-population dynamics using both microsatellite and mtDNA markers. Thus, this project would contribute to the elaboration of global strategies for marine biodiversity management and conservation. T6he project aims also at assessing the environmental loads on the candidate MPAs foe their conservation. 45 Sekretariat Perizinan Penelitian Asing Kementerian Riset Dan Teknologi DIREKTORI PENELITIAN ASING DI INDONESIA 2010 B.9.1 Prof. Dr. Kazuo Nadaoka 71 Warga Negara : Jepang Jabatan : Team Leader Professor Insitusi : Graduate School of Informaion Science and Engineering, Tokyo Insitute of Technology Email : nadaokamei.itech.ac.jp Alamat : 2-12-1 O-okayama, Meguro-ku, Tokyo 152-8552, Japan B.9.2 Ms. Chunlan Lian, Ph.D. 72 Tempat dan tgl. lahir : Fujian, 31 Mei 1965 Warga Negara : Republik Rakyat China Jabatan : Associate Professor Insitusi : Asian Natural Environemnt Science Center, The University of Tokyo Email : liananesc.u-tokyo.ac.jp Alamat : Midoricho 1-1-8, Nishitokyo-shi, Tokyo 188-0002, Japan B.9.3 Mr. Takehisa Yamakita, M.Sc. 73 Tempat dan tgl. lahir : Chiba, 05 – 07 – 1982 Warga Negara : Jepang Jabatan : Ph.D. Student JSPS Research Fellow Insitusi : Graduate School of Science, Chiba University Email : liananesc.u-tokyo.ac.jp Alamat : Yayoi-cho, Inage, Chiba 263-8522, Japan B.9.4 Dr. Masahiro Nakaoka 74 Tempat dan tgl. lahir : Hokkaido, 10 – 03 – 1965 Warga Negara : Jepang Jabatan : Professor Insitusi : Fild Science Center for Northern Biospher Hokkaido University Email : nakaokafsc.hokudai.ac.jp Alamat : Yayoi-cho, Inage, Chiba 263-8522, Japan 46 Sekretariat Perizinan Penelitian Asing Kementerian Riset Dan Teknologi DIREKTORI PENELITIAN ASING DI INDONESIA 2010 B.9.5 Mr. Kentaro Honda 75 Tempat dan tgl. lahir : Aichi, 01 – 08 – 1980 Warga Negara : Jepang Jabatan : Research Associate Insitusi : Laboratory of Marine Ecosystem Change Analysis, Graduate School of Environmental Sciences, Hokkaido University Email : bmodsish.hokudai.ac.jp Alamat : 3-1-1 Minato, Hokodate, Hokkaido 041-8611, Japan B.9.6 Dr. Coralie P.

Derawan di Kab. Berau Mitra Kerja : Pusat Peneliian Oseanograi LIPI Prof. Dr. Suharsono Abstrak Indonesia coral reefs are threatened by a number of disturbances, including overexploitation, pollution, and the direct and indirect impacts of climate change. In many locations, these threats have combined to cause permanent shifts towards algal dominance. Competition between corals and benthic algae is fundamental to these shifts and their potential reversal. Following coral mortality, newly open substrates are colonized by various algal assemblages, depending on factors such as nutrient availability, grazing or propagule supply. The type of algal assemblages is critical to recovery of corals following disturbances due to potential negative effects of algae on corals, calling for a better understanding of both algal dynamics and coral-algal interactions. In this project, we will : 1 examine algal succession stages following coral mortality due to predation by the crown-of-thorn starfish Acanthaster planci along a midshore-offshore gradient of environmental influence, 2 investigate the microhabitat regime of corals and benthic algae to explore mechanistic processes of coral-algal interactions, and 3 link succession trajectory and benthic microhabitat regime to processes of reef recovery. The data obtained will be essential in assessing the resilience of coral reef ecosystems and managing reefs as resource in Indonesia. 48 Sekretariat Perizinan Penelitian Asing Kementerian Riset Dan Teknologi DIREKTORI PENELITIAN ASING DI INDONESIA 2010 B.10.1 Mr. Daniel Wangpraseurt 80 Tempat dan tgl. lahir : Samut Prakarn, 18 – 11 – 1985 Warga Negara : Jerman Jabatan : Student Insitusi : Internaional Studies in Tropical Aquaic Ecology ISATEC, University of Bremen Email : daniel wangpraseurtuni-brement.de Alamat : Tresckowstr, 8, 28203 Bremen, Germany
