BLUE CARBON IN SEAGRASS ECOSYSTEM by Susi Rahmawati (Editors),Udhi E. Hernawan (Editors),Kathryn McMahon (Editors),Bayu Prayudha (Editors),Hanif B. Prayitno (Editors),A'an J. Wahyudi (Editors),Mat Vanderklift (Editors) Pdf

Climate change poses a severe threat to the global ecosystem which will impact all nations around the world including ASEAN member countries. Urgent and integrated effort is critical to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide which traps heat in the atmosphere and causes climate change. Plants have the capacity to absorb and store a large amount of carbon. Recent researches suggest that seagrass ecosystem is one of the most promising carbon sequester and carbon sink. Seagrass absorbs carbon dioxide and converts it into potential energy which is stored in the form of organic carbon. The seagrass’ organic carbon and organic matter from other sources is trapped in the seagrass sediments. Due to this capacity, seagrass is recognized as a natural carbon dioxide removal (NCDR). Compared to tropical rainforests, seagrass meadows have more potential to capture and store a large amount of carbon (i.e. blue carbon). ASEAN countries share similar concerns and equal responsibility to preserve the seagrass ecosystem as a natural-based approach on mitigating global climate change. However, seagrass ecosystem in each of the ASEAN country has its own unique characteristics, posing challenges on the contribution assessment of each country. Thus, a general platform to collect data and calculate carbon sequestration from the seagrass ecosystem needs to be developed, to equally compare data and information among the ASEAN countries. Accordingly, this guideline was developed as a mean to fulfil the need.

Environmental Management of Marine Ecosystems by Md. Nazrul Islam,Sven Erik Jorgensen Pdf

Ecosystem-Based Management (EBM) is one of the most holistic approaches to protecting marine and coastal ecosystems as it recognizes the need to protect entire marine ecosystems instead of individual species. After decades of pollution, habitat degradation and overfishing, now climate change and ocean acidification threaten the health of the ocean in unprecedented way. Environmental Management of Marine Ecosystems illustrates the current status, trends, and effects of climate, natural disturbances and anthropogenic impacts on marine ecosystems. It demonstrates how to integrate different management tools and models in an up-to-date, multidisciplinary approach to environmental management. This indispensable guide provides several case studies from around the world and creates a framework for identifying management tools and their applications in coral reefs, fisheries, migratory species, marine islands and associated ecosystems such as mangroves and sea grass beds. It discusses the physical and chemical compositions of marine ecosystems along with the threats and actions needed to protect them. The application of model framework to several contemporary management issues include the modelling of harmful algal bloom dynamics, understanding the dispersal of sea lice, and the possible impacts on intertidal communities of the provision of novel offshore habitat. The results of extensive research by an international team of contributors, the Environmental Management of Marine Ecosystems is designed to inform scientists, practitioners, academics, government and non-government policymakers on the particularities of marine ecosystems and assist them in understanding the EBM approaches in means of mitigation and adaptation of human activities that result in sustainability. These practices will help change the current methodologies used for resource assessment and the future regulations of marine resources.

Seagrasses: Biology, Ecology and Conservation by Anthony W. D. Larkum,Robert J. Orth,Carlos Duarte Pdf

Seagrasses are unique plants; the only group of flowering plants to recolonise the sea. They occur on every continental margin, except Antarctica, and form ecosystems which have important roles in fisheries, fish nursery grounds, prawn fisheries, habitat diversity and sediment stabilisation. Over the last two decades there has been an explosion of research and information on all aspects of seagrass biology. However the compilation of all this work into one book has not been attempted previously. In this book experts in 26 areas of seagrass biology present their work in chapters which are state-of–the-art and designed to be useful to students and researchers alike. The book not only focuses on what has been discovered but what exciting areas are left to discover. The book is divided into sections on taxonomy, anatomy, reproduction, ecology, physiology, fisheries, management, conservation and landscape ecology. It is destined to become the chosen text on seagrasses for any marine biology course.

Aquaculture Ecosystems by Saleem Mustafa,Rossita Shapawi Pdf

Aquaculture Ecosystems contains a thorough and exciting synthesis of current information on aquaculture practices and substantial discussion of the way forward in transforming the aquaculture industry by improving its sustainability. This important book includes discussion of all the current major issues relating to aquaculture practices in relation to the ecology of their situations, environmental concerns, and details of how sustainability can be improved. Efforts have been made to include chapters that go beyond the stage of debate on old topics, providing conclusions to provide leads for action plans and practices addressing modern challenges such as global climate change. Commencing with a chapter covering concerns and solutions centred around seafood security, the following chapters cover the biology and behavior of aquatic animals and their selection for use in aquaculture systems, integrated multi-trophic aquaculture, nutrient inputs and pollution, biofouling, blue carbon stocks in coastal aquaculture, climate change adaptations and knowledge management in aquaculture. Written by internationally-recognized experts in aquaculture and ecology, and edited by Saleem Mustafa, well known for his work in aquatic sciences, the book provides a great deal of use and interest to all those involved in aquaculture planning and development, environmental sciences and aquatic ecology. All libraries in universities and research establishments where biological sciences and aquaculture are studied and taught should have copies of this vital reference on their shelves.

Integrated model of coastal ecosystem restoration management by Prof. Dr. Rudianto, M.A.,Dr. Ir. Guntur, MS Pdf

Once, a resident living on the coast of Tamban, Malang district, asked me about the safety of his family living on the coast of Tamban, which had been threatened by tsunami three times. I told the resident that the tsunami that would hit the coast of Tamban could not be predicted, whether or not it would arrive as expected. I explained that the sea level rise and land subsidence continue to occur on the Tamban coast. I described it "unpredictable". The resident's questions pose a challenge for me and the research team to prepare policy inputs for local governments regarding disaster control efforts at Tamban beach, Malang Regency. Our research team submitted a proposal to the Education Fund Management Institute (LPDP) which is under the supervision of the Ministry of Finance with the title "AN INTEGRATED MODEL OF COASTAL ECOSYSTEM RESTORATION MANAGEMENT IN TAMBAN BEACH AREA, MALANG REGENCY". Alhamdulillah, the proposal was approved by LPDP. The research started from November 2021 to November 2022. One of the outputs of the research is compiled textbooks. This textbook provides a framework for dealing with flood control efforts. Therefore, this book is a textbook for researchers, students, and anyone interested in controlling other tsunami and tidal floods due to anthropogenic processes and tidal flooding. The purpose of this textbook is to provide information about the theory and how it is implemented in the field. This course is an integral part of the Integrated Coastal and Ocean Management (PWPLT) course. The contents of this book emphasize the introduction of elements of coastal ecosystems, the framework for designing coastal areas in the context of disaster mitigation and adaptation, methodologies, applications and analysis results in the form of application methods and policy formulations for the government to tackle disasters in coastal areas. Criticism and suggestions from various parties are welcomed for the improvement of this book. We would like to thank those who participated in making this textbook possible. We hope that all of their contributions are accepted by God the Almighty. I also thank Mega Amelia and Nurul Azizah Laili of the 2019 Marine Science Study Program who completed the format of this book. Amen. Rudianto and Guntur
