PROSENTASE PENUTUPAN KARANG DI PULAU KANGEAN-SUMENEP
Abstract
Terumbu karang merupakan habitat bagi spesies laut yang mernpunyai nilai komersial tinggi dan juga berfungsi untuk melakukan pemijahan, peneturan, pembesaran anak, makan dan mencari makan (Peding foraging). Sehingga terumbu karang sebagai gudang keanekaragaman hayati laut. Saat ini, peran terumbu karang sebagai gudang keanekaragaman hayati menjadikannya sebagai sumber penting bagi berbagai bahan bioaktif yang diperiukan di bidang medis dan farmasi. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui prosentase penutupan karang di lokasi penelitian yang nantinya merupakan informasi awal dalam menentukan kondisi terumbu karang di Kepulauan Kangean Sumenep. Penelitian ini dilakukan pada tanggal Agustus 2010 di Pulau Kangean — Sumenep. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa prosentase penutupan terumbu karang di pulau Kangean termasuk dalam kondisi buruk.

CORAL COVER IN THE KANGEAN ISLAND SUMENEP
Coral reefs are habitat for marine species that have high commercial value and also serves as spawning, hatching, breeding, feeding and foraging (Peding foraging). So the coral reefs as marine biodiversity warehouse. Currently, the role of coral reefs as a house of biodiversity making it an important resource for a variety of bioactive materials that needed in the medical and pharmaceutical field. the purpose of this study was to determine the percentage of coral cover in the study site which will constitute the initial information in determining the condition of coral reefs in Kangean Islands, Sumenep. This research was conducted on August 2010 in Kangean Island - Sumenep. The results showed that the percentage of the coral cover in the Kangean Island including in adverse conditions.
Keywords: Coral reefs, Kangean Island Sumenep, Coral cover
