This mixed mode research, conducted for a year on the island of Bira to respond to the plans of the Ministry of Tourism. This study aims to discern Coastal Ecotourism in Bira Island, Indonesia. The results of data collection and tabulation show the existence of gap between the performances of the island at this time and expected. Ecotourism concept enhances CE performance on the island. In addition, the concept also creates jobs of women and anglers living along the coastline. Besides, environmental conservation efforts create marine ecotourism. Furthermore, their efforts also increase economic contribution to them and local governments. The economic improvement is accompanied by improved coastal environmental performance and improved performance of culinary and handicraft tourism.","PeriodicalId":22529,"journal":{"name":"The international journal of marine science","volume":"102 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86262493","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Samplings were conducted during the period June 2009 and Feb. 2010. Zooplankton's were classified in groups: Copepods, Rofifera, Cirriped larvea, and some other minor species. Major abundant zooplankton's were Copepods, Rotifera, Cirriped larvea, Polychates, and Bivalves, while other zooplankton's which appear in minor abundance were Appendicularea, Castropod, Forminilifora, and Megalopa. Selected heavy metals Cd, Co, Cu, Fe, Hg, Ni, Pb, U, and Zn were determined in the collected samples by adopting a highly sophisticated ICP/MS at Maxxan Analytical Inc., Canada.

This study aims to analyze the parameters of water, analyze the growth rate of Gracillaria sp seaweed with Floating Net method. The results showed that the weekly growth of Gracilaria sp in the first week was highest in the fifth MFN with a weight of 5,540 grams and the lowest on the second MFN with 5,425 grams.

Based on cluster analysis and PCA, the Shatt al-Arab River samples of the two species C. zillii and O. aureus were clearly separated into two distinct groups. Group I, Qurna and Hartha, represents the northern and middle regions of the river and GII represents the southern region, Abu-Al-Khaseeb. Possible reasons for such differentiation among populations are discussed, and the integration of research on these species among the countries neighboring Iraq is required.

During low tide, rocky pools are exposed to air for several hours throughout the day, and environmental conditions such as temperature and salinity are highly variable. There are not many studies of fish communities inhabiting the intertidal zone in Mexico. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to analyze the variation of the community structure of intertidal fish considering temperature, salinity and dissolved oxygen of the water that remains trapped in the tide pools during low tide. Visual censuses were carried out monthly during spring tides on full moon days, when fluctuations of environmental variables are significant. From January to December 2015 visual census were performed in the intertidal zone of El Faro, a locality belonging to the common land of Conquista Agraria in the City of La Paz, west coast of Baja California Sur, Mexico. Extension of censuses was 156*5 m, 145 tide pools were divided in three groups (small, medium and large) according to size and depths that ranged from 20 to 45 cm. Temperature, salinity and dissolved oxygen fluctuate throughout the year of study. Thermal difference between open ocean and tide pools ranged from 3.5 to 4.5°C. A total of 3,754 organisms from 22 species, 12 families, four orders and one class were recorded. To analyze community structure, the following ecological indices were used: species richness (SRI); evenness (J’); Shannon-Wiener’s diversity (H’) and Fisher’s alpha (α-Fisher) with overall values of 2.80, 0.91, 3.20 and 5.15, respectively. According to BVI, 12 species were dominant.
