One of the main strengths karimunjawa are coral reefs. But in the last three years, indicated a significant decrease of the biomass of reef fish in there. This was disclosed Region 2 Section Chief Park karimunjawa (BTNK) Iwan Setiawan, when found in karimunjawa earlier this week.
The decline''of this biomass occurs in almost all zones within the National Park area karimunjawa,''he said.
The only zone in karimunjawa who have stable values in fish biomass, is in the utilization zone. This conclusion was drawn after BTNK monitoring of coral reefs and fish in these waters. Has 72 monitoring points, monitoring carried out with the help of the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS).
''At least we made two attempts in the management of coral reef ecosystems. In addition to monitoring of coral reefs and fish, we also perform the rehabilitation of these ecosystems,''he said.
The ultimate goal, according to Jasmine, of course, to rehabilitate the locations of coral reefs have been degraded. In this rehabilitation, BTNK artificialreef combination method and relocation. Method is also done on the net, frameworks, and the substrate.
''Until now, we've done the installation of coral reefs as much as 57 units and 20 units artificialreef nets, frameworks, and the substrate, which is comparable with the 1780 coral fragments. A total of 20 species of corals tertransplantasi in this program,''he said.
This effort, expected sebagaiamana Iwan, will be able to bring back the biomass of reef fish in Karimun, because mangrove ecosystems and coral reefs that both will be able to increase the biomass of fish. But most precisely the role of all stakeholders especially the community. ''After the success of this effort will depend on society's role in protecting coral reefs in Karimun,''he said.
Damage to coral reefs in karimunjawa never been on a very bad position, because the behavior of environmentally unfriendly. Some of them are using apotas, explosives to catch fish, other than making the rock itself. If behavior like this can be avoided, efforts to repair the coral reef ecosystem will be very helpful.
''However, coral reefs are like magnets that become an attraction for tourists to come to Karimun. If damaged, it's charm will be lost,''he said.
Support for environmental conservation are also given the Regent of Jepara H Hendro Martojo. According to him, the greatest potential is the wealth under the sea. ''Because of that, so that this potential can be exploited in a sustainable manner, then conservation efforts must be supported by all parties. Decrease eskosistemnya be containable,''he asserted.
