Abstract

Damage to seagrass beds in Panjang Island, Banten, has increased every year. The most significant decline
occurred at an interval of 2000-2005 with a decrease of about 22.9 ha. Seagrass damage continued to increase
at the year between 1989-2002 as a result of natural stone mining and coastal reclamation activities to become
industrial areas and ports. The objective of this study was to determine the characteristics of the species and
current status of seagrass communities in Panjang Island waters, Banten. Analysis of seagrass data included
identification of species, frequency, density, percent coverage, and important value index. Based on these results,
it was found three species of seagrass on Panjang Island, Banten, including species of Enhalus acoroides,
Cymodocea serrulata, and Syrongodium isoetifolium. The percentage of seagrass coverage at five different
research stations, the highest percentage of seagrass coverage was at station IV with a percentage of coverage of
48.94% and the lowest coverage was obtained at station V of 10.28%. The calculation of the importance value
index (INP) of seagrass in Panjang Island waters, Banten, showed that the highest INP value was found in the
Cymodocea serrulata seagrass species which was 41.47 and the lowest was found in the Syrongodium
isoetifolium seagrass species which was 16.81. PCA analysis was also conducted to determine the relationship of
seagrass density with chemical physics parameters. The results obtained showed the condition of seagrass
ecosystems in Panjang Island waters, Banten, which was at a level of moderate to severe damage. The results of
PCA analysis showed that water temperature, nitrate concentration, DO, and TSS greatly influenced the density of
seagrass in these waters.

Introduction Banten Bay. Damage and loss of seagrass beds in

Banten Bay reached around 50 ha or around 35% of
Seagrass beds are one of the essential all seagrass beds in Banten Bay (Setiawan et al.,
ecosystems in coastal areas, serving as producers in 2012). It is estimated that about 60% of seagrass
food webs in coastal areas, providing nutrients for beds have been damaged and have an impact on
aquatic biota, shelter, spawning grounds, and the decrease in the value of cover and seagrass
nurseries for various biota (Susetiono, 2004; Smith, species density.
2012; Lefaan et al., 2013). As a primary producer,
the contribution of seagrass beds is very dependent Over the past ten years, reduction in the area

has occurred in various parts of the world as a result continued to increase at intervals between 1989-
of the direct impacts of human activities including 2002 as a result of natural stone mining activities,
mechanical damage (dredging and anchoring), hill leveling, and coastal reclamation to become
eutrophication, aquaculture, sedimentation, the industrial areas and ports (Yunus, 2008). The
effects of construction development and changes in increased activity resulted in high suspended solids
food webs and the indirect effects of activities contained in the waters, the measurement of TSS on
humans (Kiswara, 2009). the western region of Banten Bay and Panjang
