3.3.2 Collecting Data Method

Primary data was collected from observation, measurement and review directly in the field study. Ecological data was collected with instrument prepared and Scuba Set.

3.3.2.1 Physical-Chemistry Parameters

The measurement of physical-chemistry parameters were observed at each sites research which used to analyzing of environment condition. The parameters were measured directly in the field by using instruments and the results are obtained directly through the reading of the scale from instruments. The physical-chemistry parameters include depth, temperature, salinity, visibility, current, pH, dissolved oxygen, and the ocean substrate. Basically, the methods of measuring are as follows: a. Depth The measurement of depth at the sites of coral reefs conducted by the depth meter on scuba sets whereas the measurement of depth on water quality conducted by the grab sampler. b. Temperature and Salinity The measurement of temperature and Salinity was conducted by reading scale on Thermometer and Hand-refractometer instrument. c. Current Velocity of current at each research sites was measured by using the floater drudge. The direction of current determined by release of floater drudge in the early position until the last position. Whereas the velocity of current recorded by tightened the rope of floater drudge in one time. d. Dissolved oxygen and pH Parameters of dissolved oxygen DO and pH were measured by reading scale on DO meter and pH meter instrument.

3.3.2.2 Coral Reefs Condition

Collection data on coral reef condition at each site research was performed by using the method Line Intercept Transect LIT. The LIT used to see the percentage of coral coverage. Transect with 50 meters placed parallel to the coastline which observed along the 30 meters with 3 three replicates. The interval between replications is 10 ten meters and each transect at a distance of 00-10 meters, 20-30 meters and 40-50 meters. Observations of coral lifeform and substrate recorded with accurate in centimeters size Coremap II-LIPI 2007; English et al. 1997; Hill Wilkinson 2004. Benthic categories were observed in the research are as follows: Table 2 Benthic category in the condition of coral reef data acquisition Benthic codes Description ACB Colonies have both primary and secondary open branching, where branches are generally narrower than they are long ACT Horizontal plates with a small area of basal attachment, where the colony is at least twice as wide as they are high ACS Colony surface forms columns andor ridges and may have encrusting edges ACE Colonies adhere and encrust the substrate and have very little vertical growth ACD Short, protruding, vertically orientated digit like branches arising from an encrusting base CM Colony is of generally solid construction and the same shape in all directions hemispherical in shape CS Colony has knobs, protrusions or columnar structures or rounded and more than 50 of the colony raised indiscreetly from the underlying substratum CF Colony leaf-like in appearance or composed of flattened sheets which may be fused or convoluted to form whorls CE Colonies that adhere and encrust the substrate CB Arborescent corals with open primary and secondary branching where branches are generally narrower than they are wide AA Colony of makroalga CA This category includes all substrate and rubble covered with coralline algae CHL Coral of the genus Heliopora CME Coral of the genus Millepora CMR Unattached easily moved solitary Fungiid coral. DC Recently dead coral which has a white or off-white colour and not yet colonised by turfing algae. DCA Dead coral with algae HA Macro algae of the genus Halimeda. MA Includes all macro algae with structure features 5cm in size OT All identifiable organisms that associated with coral reef R Fragments of dead hard coral 0.5cm but 15cm in diameter which are not consolidated into a hard or stable substrate RCK Substrate not colonised by visible benthic organisms. Rarely seen except where the reef has recently undergone exfoliation e.g. due to a cyclone, or where terrestrial rocks have not been colonised. S Sand Ranging from fine silt to calcareous sediment to Halimeda spp. fragments, 0.5cm in diameter SC Soft Coral SI Silt SP Includes all sponges SP. TA Turf algae encrust the substrate and have no distinguishable structural features TA. ZO Zooanthids organism Source: English et al. 1997; Coremap II-LIPI 2007

3.3.2.3 Reef Fishes Condition

Collection data of reef fishes was conducted by using Fish Underwater Visual Census UVC method. This method recorded the number of fish that appear in the belt transect area. The position and length of transects was similar with the position of LIT. Censuses conducted with a radius of view of 5 five meter above the path transect which the pairs of transects is 2.5 m left and 2.5 m right side of transect line. Hence, the area observed at each transect is 5 x 50m = 250 m 2 a. Coremap II- LIPI 2007; English et al. 1997; Hill Wilkinson 2004. The reef fish were divided into 3 three groups: b. Targets, the targets fish are economically important and common fish caught for consumption. Usually they are made of coral reefs as spawning and nests nursery ground. The target fish families represented Serranidae, Lutjanidae, Lethrinidae, Nemipteridae, Caesionidae, Siganidae, Haemulidae and Acanthuridae; c. Indicators, the indicators fish are the kinds of typical reef fish inhabit the coral reef ecosystem and is an indicator of fertility area. These fish represented the family Chaetodontidae, Pomachantidae, Zanclidae, and several species of the family Acanthuridae, Scorpaenidae, Balistidae and Scaridae; Major, the majors fish are small fish species or 5-25 cm with a variety of staining characteristics and knowing as ornamental fish. These groups are generally found in abundance, both in number and individual. In addition these fish tend to be territorial and all their life was in coral reefs. Represented of these fish are Pomacentridae, Apogonidae, Labridae and Blenniidae. LIT and UVC method as shown below: Figure 3 Method of LIT and UVC. 50 m 5 m

3.3.2.4 Social Conditions

Data of social condition, collected on all villages in Pasi Island. The respondent is chosen in order to catch ideal respondent purposive sampling and respondent are as follows: society of fishermen, community leaders and government. Hereinafter the perception of chosen respondent could be evaluated by an interview, questioner and mini workshop. The public perception and MCA zoning plan is also needed as additional data. Based on their needs and interests respondents were also given the opportunity to assess and advice on the design of multipurpose zoning of MCA in Pasi Island. It also requires the information of all stakeholders communities, fishermen, local government about the activities can be done within MCA. This is certainly expected to be an input in the management model of MCA Pasi Island.

3.3.2.5 Secondary Data

Secondary data being collected from document or released by some institution, i.e. Department Marine and Fisheries of Kepulauan Selayar Regency, COREMAP II Selayar, and BPS.

3.4 Boundaries and MCA Zones

Determination of boundaries and multipurpose zoning of MCA will facilitate local governments in preserving and monitoring of ecosystems in coastal regions and small islands. Steps for developing zoning maps and boundary of MCA are presented below:
