and Suprapto") ABSTRACTThe study was conducted in May 2001 wlth aims to identifl and examine changes the biotic condition of coastal resources. The study used dual approaches of old and new data collections followed by statistical test of Wilcoxon Rank Sum Test. The study focused on an affected area of the Coastal Village Development Project, particularly Lebah Coastal waters, Karangasem, Bali. The changes specifically related to artificial reef progresses as indicated by several indicators
of
marine biota, which have gradually grownin
individual number, species numbers, kinds of benthic lifeforms, and their diversity during ten years. The statistical test at levels of a=0.010 and 0.05 showed a high significant improvement of the benthb community of the artificial reeE. The means of benthic lifeform diversity valuesfor
1991, 1994, and 2001 were 0.92t0.22, 1.36t0J4, and 1.95t0.39, respectively. There was also a significant increase in reef fish diversity in vicinity of the artificial reets corresponding to the same test, fiom an averageol
1.74 in 1991 to 2.4 in 1994 and to 2.8 in 2001 . The improvement of the artificial reef area condition may also be gauged by the abundance of Chaetodont species, an indicator organism expressed as lrian Jaya Reef Diversity Index. The mean of lrian Jaya Reef Diversity lndex gradually increased ftom 4.9 in 1991 to 9.8 in 1994 and to 19 in 2001. Meanwhile the findings estimated that there was a decrease in coral percent covers of the nearby natural coral reefs.KEYWORDS:
artificial reefs, coral reefs, ooastal water rehabilitaflon, marine organisms, Bali INTRODUCTIONMarine tourism in Bali have being developed as an
integral part of
Indonesia's overalltourism
strategy, which attemptsto
maximize its economic benefits andto provide
recreationalfacilities for an
increasinglyurbanized domestic population. Hence, the
recentpublic interest in the coastal zones has
increasedsince the local and international investors
and developers gravitatedto
shoreward maritime tourism industries.As a
resultof the
economic benefits thatcould
be derivedfrom
coastal resources,the
coastalzones in this region teem with human
settlements.About 60% of Bali's projected population (as much as 2.9 million) lives in the coastal areas where resources
have
been heavily exploited, especially between the1970s and 1990s when the tourism sector
andassociated socioeconomic developments
increased(llyas et a/.,
1993). Therefore,both of the
activities andtheir
impacts duringthe
lasttwo
decades might have been viewed positively or negatively.A
gradually accelerated rateof the
environmental degradationdue to tourism linked
activities and theexisting socio economic stresses have
influenced regional policies. In this regard, the state has come upwith a balanced regional development
approach,specifically between the tourism sector and
theagricultural sectors. In addition to improving
thesubsistence level of local communities
andimplementing coastal water
rehabilitation,the
lastconcern of the government,rrhich was reflected in the Great Outline of the State Direction, was to find viable incom_e
generating activities based on
sustainablecoastal resource utilization and integrated
coastalmanagement focused on conservation.
The government placed emphasison a
harmony betweenthe
artisanal fisheryand tourism
industries because both dependon
appropriate national management to sustainthe
healthof the coral
reef ecosystemas
an economically valuable resource (llyas etat,
1993).Unfortunately,
some areas in Bali were not
as environmentallyendowed as others to support
the development mentionedabove. The coastal
waters surrounding easternBali
lsland have been degraded since May 1, 1963,the
year Mt Agung erupted. Blacksand and other
sedimentsleft
narrow areafor
coralgrowth. This made the coastal resources
morevulnerable to accelerated rate of coral
reefdegradation in an area that was already
naturally stressed.It was for these reasons that a small scale coastal resource rehabilitation program
was
proposed locallyin
1990.A
collaboration oftwo
government agencieswas
establishedto
implementthis
program, which was supported by the country's budget plan. The Bali Provincial Fishery Service constructed some modulesof
artificial reefs madefrom
discardedtires,
and theCentral Research Institute for Fishery
Indonesia constructed concrete blockswith a
particular shape.The aim of settling these modules in the
LebahCoastal
water was not only to make
substrates for growing reefs but alsoto
make devices or shelters foraggregating fish that, finally, would affect
the ecological recovery of the coastal water and economic life of the coastal inhabitants (CRlFl, 1994)..'

The artificial reef technology
for
degraded coastalwater ecosystem recovery has both strengths
and weaknesses. Understandingthe
involvementof
the artificial reefin
restoration ecologyis
usefulfor
betterplanning in order to
maximizethe benefits
derivedfrom it and to
minimizeits
negative consequences.Likewise, practitioners
will
discoverthat it, as a
newparadigm in restoration ecology in Indonesia,
has soughtto
incorporate different typesof
information. ltresulted in gradual but important changes in
themeaning and focus of the ecosystem
growing process, especiallyfor
coralfish
population and theirindicator species related to the coral
cover rmorovement.The
restorationtechnique by introducing of
theartificial reef technology did not immediately
bringabout significant impacts on the
environmentalrecovery of coastal waters and on
socio-economic improvementof local communities lt needs
longertime to mature and have impacts on
successionprocesses of
the
coastal water resource recovery and desirable changes of local community's welfare.Hence, the restoration project must include
alongterm monitoring and evaluation to
guaranteeverifiable criteria of measuring
accomplishmentseither for biophysical or socioeconomic
attributes.Shonman (1988) suggested
that it is a
critical aspectof any
mitigation implementation agreement becausethis is the only way to verify if the developer
is meetingthe
agreed upon terms. Most often,the
only benefits thatthe
environment receives come from the promised mitigations. Sincethese
promisesare
partof the
basisof
approvalof the
development permit, they must be checked.During
a
chronological periodof the
artificial reef successions,there is an opportunity to study
theecosystem development in relation to
therehabilitation
effort. This is not only timely but
also important, as it can clearly indicate whether or not the ameliorating processwill continue. This study is
toresponse the absence of project monitoring
and evaluation activities. lt focuses on an evaluation of the marine biota growth after ten years of implementing ofthe project. This study explored the
followingquestions: what
were the
impactsof the
process onthe
biotic conditions of the coastal waters? What were the appropriate indicators for this change?The specific objectives of this study are
to
identifythe biotic condition of coastal resources
using selected indicators, including coral cover percentages,fish
indicator species andfish
reef diversity in vicinity of the artificial reefs and natural reefs.MATERIALS AND METHODS
Study
SiteThe
coastalwaters of
Tukadse and Jemeluk that were the project affected areas (Figure 1), are placedin Lebah Hamlet of Purwakerti Village under
an administrative authorityarea of the
Abang District of Karangangem County, eastern Bali.Data
Collection
Data
collectionwas carried out in May 2001.
Adual method
approachwas employed in the
datacollection such as on field measurement
and secondarydata uses. The latest was
employed to comoile the initial data related to similar indicators.The line
intercepts transect method usinga 50
mtransect
lengrthwas
conductedto determine
naturalcoral
reef condition, particularlythe
hard coral cover.The method was used to assess the
benthiccommunity
of reefs using lifeform
categories, whichprovide a morphological description of the
reef community.The
categorieswere
recordedon
data sheetsby
diverswho
swamalong
lines, which wereplaced roughly
parallelto the reef crest or
fringingreefs at certain deoths of each selected site based on
the initial study in 1991 or 1994. The
methodestimates
the
coverof an
objector
groupof o$ects within a
specifiedarea by
calculatingthe
fraction oflength of the line that is
interceptedby the
object (English et a|.,1994).Likewise, individual colonies
of
benthic communitygrowing on the artificial reefs were measured
todetermine percent cover and diversity by using
a quadrate sampling method.The data of
reeffish was obtained by
using the visual census onthe
line transectin
conjunction withrecording benthic lifeform on the reef. The
fishpopulation was divided into three groups showing their status as well as indicator species, major species, and
target species (English et al.,
1994).The
indicator speciesare
mostly of the family Chaetodontidae. Themajor species are either ornamental or
nonornamental fishes that are usually found in coral reefs
both as a resident and as a crosser. The
targetspecies are fishes that are caught for
consumption and/or sale by fishers.Data

Coral
Cover PercentagesThe
pioneer organismsin the
artificial reefs weremany algae, sponges, bryozoans,
tunicates' amphipods,sand shrimps, small
crabs,. .cnidarians, ascidians coralline algae and barnacles with a percent cover averag eof
21.52o/o, mean divers^ity index (H) of O.gOtO.22and mean density per m' of 0'90t0'10 (Table 1). These lifeforms dominated the
artificialieefs in 1991. In 1994, there was a shift in
thedominance of lifeforms, from the pioneer organisms to
hard corals
(acroporeand non
acropore)and
other organismswith a percent cover average of
19.25.Possibly,
the
1994 valuewas lower
becauseof
theabsence of macro algae and the decrease in
thepopulation
of
sessile organisms. However, there wasan increase in benthic community
diversity(1.3610.14).
lt is
interestingto
note thatthe
absenceof
macroalgae in
1994was
noticednot only in
the artificial reefs, but also in the natural reefs. Some localfishers also noted the
absenceof macro algae
innatural reefs. The absence of macro algae
waspossibly due to the effect of flooding and
theconsumption
by
schools offish,
as mentioned by thelocal fishers, or due to the
displacementby
othersessile organisms like coralline algae.
Thedisplacement
of the macro algae by other
sessileorganisms can be considered as a part of
thesuccession of species in the community.
According
to a
resultof a
study (Pusat penelitiandan
PengembanganPerikanan, 1993) in the
earlyyears of the artificial reef be
observed,the
majorsessile
organismswere dominated by macro
algae (Potycarpaaurata and Virgulaia sp.) and
barnacles (Batanus sp.) and then followed by Padina sp., Upuas, Eucemasp. A few hard
corals startedto grow
withdiameters of 0.5 to 8 cm and 1.4 to 6 cm
length'These kinds included Favia sp., Porites
sp.,Goniopora sp., Monostrea sp., Acropora
sp., Pocilloporasp.,
Sen'afoporasp.,
Tubastreasp.,
and Diptoastrea sp.All
of these organisms attracted other marine organismsto come in, such as
crustaceans(ornamental shrimps and sand crabs),
mollusks (Throchus, Cones, and Cyprae sp.), and echinoderms (Deademasp. and
Echinus escu/afus).This
showsthat the areas, originally cleaned out,
becameproductive.
In 2001,
an
additional9
new lifeformswere
noted among the artificial reefs (Figue2).
In this year, more lifeforms were observed among the artificial reefs thanon the natural reefs (Table 1). The data show that the percent
cover of the
benthic community among theartificial
reefs significantly increasedfrom
21.52o/o in 1991to
88.33% in 2001. Thetotal
coral cover in the artificial reefs and natural reefs are comparable to thatof 2001 (Table 1). This
impliesthat the
diversity oforganisms among the artificial reefs
couldapproximate the diversity among natural reefs within a decade.
The benthic
communitydiversity in the
artificial reefs increased from 0.92 in 1991to
1.36 in 1994 andto
1.95in
2001. A Wilcoxon rank sumtest
(Table 2) that was usedto
analyze the benthic diversity indexes among the artificial reefs showed that there was a lowsignificant difference (at
level-9t
q=O!5) for
thediiersity
between 1991and
1994and
between 1994and 2d01 as well. The low significant
ditference indicatedthat
changingin the
diversityfor the
short time period (4 or 7 years) in the artificial reefs was not showh enough, because, as mentioned by Fucik et a/' (1984), recovery of coral reefs tendsto
be a long termprocess. According to Fucik ef al. (1984)
andRinkevich & Loya (1577), small scale
localizeddestruction generally requires less
than 10
years for recovery. Heavy destruction requires 10to 20
years for full recovery. In line with this, the same test for this study showeda
highly significant changein
diversity indexes between 1991 and 2001at
level cr=0.025. ltmeans that rehabilitation efforts have
generated positive impactson
marine organisms, as reflected inthe high
diversityand density of
benthic community among the artificial reefs.The increased lifeform diversity among the artificial reefs in 2001 brought about an increase in the density
of the colony of benthic communities among
theartificial reefs. The density
increasedfrom 0.75
in 1994to 7.86 in 2001. Some additional
colonies of acropores (ACT, ACE), non acropores (CE,CF'
CMR'anci CME), turf algae, and soft coral that
were observed among the artificial reefs in 2001 contributedto the
increased density amongthe
artificial reefs in 2001 (Table 1). Other contributions also were given bythe growing of branching corals, macro
algae'coralline algae, sponge, and other sessile organisms.
Although the artificial reefs had improved,
the adjacentnatural coral
reefswere
threateneddue
to anthropogenic activities and natural phenomena. The coral cover in Jemeluk Bay has beendwindling

Figure 3. The damage areas at Jemeluk Coastal water identified as a result of diver steps.
Usually,
the
phenomenaof turf algae
covered coral(standing but dead) is a result of
anthropogenic activities such as sedimentation, cyanide fishing, blastfishing, dragging boat anchors, and natural
factorssuch as
starfish predation, stormwaves,
hurricanes, andEl
Nifro (Chou, 1998). Therewas
also observedbleaching in the bay. The 1997 to 1998 El
Niffo(elevated
sea

believed tohave been
responsiblefor
bleachinglarge
areas of corals across the Indonesia seas, including Tulamban,Amed, Nusa Penida, and Nusa
Lambongan, Bali (Brown&
Suharsono, 1990;Chou,
1998;Jamani

Diversity and Density
Table 5
presentsreef fish
diversity indexes and density (numberper m') in
both artificial and naturalreefs. Details in family, genus and species
are presentedin Table 6 and Appendix. The
diversityindex was used to evaluate the changes in
fish populationin the
viclnityof the
artificial reefs and to comparethe
diversity offish
population between the artificial reefs and natural reefs.According to Kakimoto (1979), a trend of
fish diversity in the vicinity of artificial reefs usually follows growth of attached organisms on the artificial reef. Heobserved that after 20 years, appearance of
theartificial reefs
changeddue to high
intensityof
thegroMhs of the attached organisms together
with associated organismsthat make the food chain
or web in the artificial reefs.The
resultsof
Wilcoxon rank sumtest at
level of cr=0.025 and 0.050 (Table 7) shows that fish diversity between 1991 and 1994 and between 1991 and 2001in vicinity of the artificial reef was
highly significant ditferent. The significant differences betweenthe
fish diversity in the artificial reefs between 1991 and 1994as well as 1991 and 2001 could be due to
the succession process in artificial reefs as mentioned byKakimoto (1979). As succession proceed in
theaftificial reefs, more benthic lifeforms that settle on the substrates
attract more fish to come. Some of
the lifeformsserve as food for the fish.
The diversity of lifeforms inthe
artificial reefs increasedfrom 0.90
in 1991to 1.95 in 2001 (Table 1). This
increase may lead to the increase in fish diversity.The same test shows that there was no
a significant difference of reef fish diversity between theartificial reefs and natural reefs in 2001.
The relationship of fish diversity between the artificial reefsand
natural reefs maybe
relatedto the
observationthat both have comoarable diversities.
These comparative diversities mav have similar attracts.Table 4 Percent covers

Between 1991 and 2001, the density of reef fish in
the artificial reefs has
considerably increased, from 0.87in
1991to
17.07 in 2001 (Table 5). Trend in reef fish density could be dueto the
on going succession process, as mentioned above. The increase in benthic community diversity led tothe
increase in fish densityin the same years among the artificial
reefs.Meanwhile,
fish
densitywas higher among
artificial reefs than in natural reefs in 2001. Fish, particularly inschools, usually moved freely from one area
to another, so that this result could also indicate that fish have a strong atfinity to artificial reefs that may lead toinflux of fish from nearby natural reefs. Studies
onbehavior of fish in vicinity of artificial reefs
placed around natural reefs showed that fish have an affinityfor artificial reefs (Kakimoto, 1984). Possibly,
theartificial reefs have
additionalsources of food
and shelter.Fish Indicator
SpeciesThe growing uses of the species
indicatorcorresponding to coral soundness
determinationshowed that it was a simple method in coral
reef monitoring.lt is
not onlyfor
experts, but alsofor
nonspecialists. For example, the presence
ofChaetodonts in coral reef water may reflect
therelative health and diversity of hard coral
(Nash,1989).

oo FChaetodonts
are major noticeable
polyp feedersamong reef's ichthyofauna (Mackay, 1994).
This species are easyto
identify andto
census individually becausethey have definite territories and they
areoften found in pairs. In addition, they are
oftenemployed as better measures
for
health of coral reefs (Rees, 1977). In general, low lrian Jaya Reef Diversity Index (below 35%)of
Chaetodonts may indicate poor Table 7diversity
of
hard cover (Nash, 1989). The ideato
useChaetodonts as indicator in determining
thesoundness of reefs was derived from a
studyconducted by Reese (1977). Reese (1977) noted that
two
kindsof
polyp feeders (Chaetodon trifascillis and Chaetodon trifasciatus) responded to changes of coralreef
soundnessin terms of
abundance, distribution, and behavior.Summary of Wilcoxon Rank Sum Test for independent sample of fish diversity index variables in different vears

NR = Natural reef AR = Artificial reefs
The succession process in terms
of
hard coralgrovth
on artificial reefs may be indicated by the abundanceof
chaetodont species. Table8
showsthe
lRDl values in different years. Althoughthe lRDl
rates observed in different yearswere still very
lowas
comparedto the
regional lrian Jaya Reef Diversity lndex scale,that
is,35%, there is
an
increasingtrend in
lrian Jaya Reef Diversity Index rates among all sites, particularly between 1991 and 2001 (Table8).
This suggeststhat their
gradual increases areof
great importancein
evaluating a transient conditionof hard coral
growth.The
increasingtrend in lRDl
ratesfrom
1991to 2001 follows
the increasing trend in the diversity of hard coral cover among the artificial reefs.Table 8

Primary dataThe relationshio between coral
coverpercentages and chaetodont diversity showed a high
significant
correlationat several studies (Edrus
&Syam 1998; Hutomo et a/., 1985). These
studiesshowed that the rising lrian Jaya Reef
Diversity Index ratesin all
siteswere
relatedto the
existinggrowth of hard coral, indicating a
transientsuccession by artificial reef organisms
to
arrive at aclimax condition. Under this condition, the hard coral
together with other reef fauna organisms
would attain optimumgroMh
correspondingto the
area of substrates available onthe
artificial reefs. Likewise, the Chaetodonts would settle in favorable areas andexpect that their
abundanceand species
number would growin
thefuture.
Inthis
study,there is
still space for on going coral groMh.CONCLUSION
The specific impacts of the rehabilitation effort on
biotic
oarametersof
coastal resourcesthat can
be concluded address to the following major points:1.
Positive environmental changesin vicinity
the artificial reefs enableto be a
basic premise of success of the project in bringing about tangible impacts on the local coastal resources.2.
The major areas of biotic-parameter changes in vicinity of the artificial reefs include increases incoral percent cover, reef fish diversity
and density, and chaetodontid abundance indexes.3. The statistical tests to above
respective variablesat
levelsof
cr=0.010 and 0.05 shows high significant improvement of the marine biota condition between 1991 and 2001.4. There was a considerable indication
of dwindling coral cover of the natural coral reefs.ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
