KAJIAN KONDISI TERUMBU KARANG DI PULAU PANJANG, AIR BANGIS, KABUPATEN PASAMAN BARAT
Abstract
Coral reef ecosystems are essential for the survival of marine life but the presence of coral reef are decline and decay. Methods use in this study is a survey method. To retrieve the condition of coral cover using the line intercept transect. The average percentage of coral cover in 8 point research station at 50.10% is still in the good condition, which is in the north 3 m depth 53.51%, north 7 m depth 68.14%, east 3 m depth 93.29%, east 7 m depth 15.93%, south 3 m depth 75.17%, south 7 m depth 20.53%, west 3 m depth 41.50%, and west 7 m depth 32.79%. The conditions of Panjang Island water quality are very support for coral reefs condition, including: water temperature ranged from 28.7 to 30.60 0C, the brightness ranges from 1-3 m, the average salinity of 30 0/00, pH ranged from 7.27 to 7 , 48, DO ranged from 6.79 to 7.23 mg / l, phosphate ranged from 3.21 to 4.68 mg / l, and nitrate ranged from 0.09 to 0.27 mg / l.
Key Words: Condition, Coral Reef, Panjang Island
