Data Analysis
The data collected by the FGD is then analyzed using the appropriate approach.
Vulnerability assessment uses an approach made by Helper et al. (2007) and an
illustration built by Polsky et al. (2007), including consideration of the judgments
put forward by Turner et al. (2003). We tried to consider the local conditions
found in Southeast Sulawesi. Some approaches to local valuation are the area of
each ecosystem that exists, including coral reefs, mangroves, and seagrasses. Other
changes include: a decline in ecosystem conditions in the past 10 years, high community access to ecosystems (coral reef, mangroves, seagrass), change in the type
and capacity of fishing gear, high human activities and impact on the environment
(including mining activities).
Response of each ecosystem will be different to enviromental changes and this
can be explored with quantitative assessments. This can be done in order to make
it easier to provide a good assessment of the impacts and best efforts that might
be made to overcome changes and possible environmental damage. The value of
each possible threat will clarify any differences in response and vulnerability of
each ecosystem. There are several ways to provide an assessment of vulnerability to
ecosystems or species in relation to environmental changes. This is done to facilitate
the prioritization of habitat or species conservation (Bryant et al. 1998; Zacharias and
Gregr 2005; Kappel 2005), some focus on the assessment of a single ecosystem in
relation to a number of threats (Bryant et al. 1998), and improvement of approaches
to species (Keppel 2005). Halpern et al. (2007) have a separate scoring system based
on several aspects, including responses to ecosystem-based approaches to the marine
environment by including species in the whole ecosystem, secondly incorporating a
complete set of marine ecosystem types and potential threats, and third is calculating
certainty in threat rankings. Additional approaches taken include input from experts
regarding vulnerabilities and impacts of environmental change.
Results and Discussion
Climate change is more addressed in increase of earth’s temperature and melting of
ice in the polar regions. The increase in temperature is closely related to increasing
the amount of carbon dioxide in our atmosphere (CO
2 , CH
4 , N
2 O, CF
4 , C
2 F
6+ ). Both
of these conditions have a direct impact on coastal ecosystems, especially coral reefs,
seagrasses, and mangroves.
