Abstract

The Acropora commodity in Gili Ketapang, Probolinggo, is massively deteriorated; thus, a transplantation program for environmental sustainability is commenced. This study is aimed to determine the effect of depth on the Acropora transplantation activity as a reference of the Acropora rehabilitation program in the Gili Ketapang, Probolinggo. The result showed that transplanted Acropora at 5 m and 10 m depths showed different survival rates. The highest survival rate at a depth of 5 m was 94%, while the lowest was 84% at 10 m in depth. Their bright and diverse colors characterized the live corals in this study; meanwhile, the dead corals were pale white and fragile. The average density of zooxanthellae cells at a depth of 5 meters was 4.79 x 106 cells/cm2 and at a depth of 10 meters was 2.75 x 106 cells/cm2. Uniquely, the level of nitrate and phosphate did not comply with the quality standards. Thus, we recommend that transplantation activity of Acropora in Gili Ketapang, Probolinggo, was performed at a depth of 5 m for optimal results.

 



Keywords: Acropora, transplantation, environmental education, depth, marine conservation.
