SURVEY DATA ANALYSIS

SURVEY DATA ANALYSIS
BINTAN MARINE PROTECTED AREA

Data and information regarding the community's economy and the condition of the coral reef ecosystem in Marine Protected Area (MPA) Bintan is very needed in the preparation of the completeness in management and zoning plans of MPA Bintan. After obtaining data and information through bioecological and socio-economic surveys, we started data input and analysis. Based on the results of data analysis, we obtained various data on priority resources, including several types of grouper, barred fish, mackerel, anchovy, shrimp, crab, sea cucumber, snapper, and several types of reef fish which are the main catch by fisherman. Dugongs, turtles, coral reefs, seagrass, and mangroves which are also priority resources in several villages.

in Riau Islands Province in 2015-2019

We also get data on the causes of threats to priority resources including the use of destructive fishing gear, industrial activities and waste, oil sludge that comes every year, bad human behavior such as picking up turtle eggs and taking out the trash, exploitation of sea cucumbers, and the existence of large ships that disturbing coastal fishermen.

The majority of people living in the MPA Bintan work as coastal fishermen. In general, fishing activities carried out by coastal fishermen can be classified as short operating trips or one-day fishing trips. They leave in the morning, then at sea a few hours or until noon or evening. If they leave in the afternoon they will return in the morning. Because they still use ships that are under 5 GT (Gross Tonnage), and the fishing gear used is still traditional, such as fishing rods, traps, and nets.
