| description | Coral reef ecosystems carry out a wide range of ecological functions and sustain the livelihoods of coastal communities through fisheries, coastal protection, and tourism. However, the coral condition has declined recently due to climate changes and anthropogenic activities. This study was undertaken in May 2019 to assess reef health status in Takabonerate and Wakatobi Marine National Park based on three components: live coral cover, resilience component (macroalgae and rubble cover), and fish biomass. The highest coral cover was 45.53% (Wanci), with an average cover of 24.6% and 29.48% in Takabonerate and Wakatobi. The average biomass of reef fish in Wakatobi was higher in Wakatobi (1.26 kg/ha) than in Takabonerate (0.70 kg/ha). For the resilience score, the average cover of macroalgae and rubble was 0.11% and 6.35% in Takabonerate and 1.64% and 0.51% in Wakatobi. Based on the coral, resilience, and biomass fish score, the Coral Health Index scored 5 (fair) and 9 (good) for Takabonerate and Wakatobi. The data suggested that reefs in both locations could recover from disturbance. However, the low biomass of targeted fish in the Takabonerate shows high fishing activities, which might lead to a direct/indirect impact on coral health. |
