Corresponding author: Nofrizal, [email protected] Abstract. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the composition and proportion of the main catch, by- catch and discard of the fishing gear, particularly gombang, during the west (October-December 2018) and north (January-March 2019) seasons, in Bengkalis waters, Indonesia. A series of survey activities were conducted in the field, in order to identify and assess the species of fish caught using this fishing gear. During the West season, 33 species were identified, encompassing 6 species (18.2%) as the main catch, 24 (72.8%) as by-catch and 3 (9.1%) as discarded catch, while the North season had 37 species, characterized by 6 (16.3%), 29 (78.4%) and 2 species (5.4%) as the main, by-catch, and discarded. The variety that was mostly caught include pepay shrimp, while the average rate per unit and effort was 20,346.7±15,702.1; 19,416.0±14,021.2 shrimp for Sergetes similis, and 331.7±518.6; 101.2±362.1 for fish, respectively for the West and North season. In addition, most of the by-catch and discard were observed to be below the maturity size (first maturity), therefore indicating the non-selective nature of the fishing gear on the size and species of fish.

The objectives of this paper are to apply the state of art in the identification of 16 major coastlines vulnerability index in Riau, and to prioritizing which coastlines should be managed in terms of 4 main aspects such as; technical aspect, economic, environmental, and strategic one. The methodology applied in this paper utilized the combination of the Coastal Vulnerability Index (CVI) and social economic approaches using a Likert’s scale of 1 (low) to 5 (very high). This study has recommended a priority in managing the coastlines in Riau was as follow; Pambang Pesisir, Bengkalis and Tanah Merah, Meranti Islands. These coastlines were calculated as the very high level of vulnerability indexes of 75.3 and 74.9 respectively. This study also simulated the use of shoreline protection structure by Genesis software utilizing a revetment construction. The results showed that the construction of revetment structure in Pambang pesisir beach may reduce the shore erosion rate from 10 m/14 year to 0 m /14 year. 1 Introduction Indonesia is the largest archipelagic country in the world consisting of 17,508 islands with a coastline of 81,000 km, and this condition appointed Indonesia coastline as the second longest coastline in the world after Canada [1].

  • Potency of Social Conflict in the Meranti Islands Regency Rd. Siti
    Potency of Social Conflict In The Meranti Islands Regency Rd. Siti Sofro Sidiq Department of Sociology, Faculty of Social and Political Sciences, University of Riau e-mail:[email protected] Abstract Riau Province has a diverse community composition both in religion, race and ethnicity. Plurality is like two inseparable sides of a coin. On the one hand, diversity is able to become a force for progress, but on the other hand it can be a trigger for conflict. If not managed properly, this power will turn into an unexpected potential social conflict. Meranti Islands Regency is part of the Riau Province, an area directly adjacent to neighboring Malaysia. Under these conditions, the vulnerability to destructive social conflicts increases. The high potential for social conflict occurs considering that the welfare of the community is still not evenly distributed, despite the abundance of natural resources and plantation products. Welfare can only be enjoyed by people who live in urban areas or in government centers, while indigenous people who generally live in districts near the border live below the decent life line, do not recognize modern models and lifestyles, minimal education, and limited supporting infrastructure. social life. This disparity certainly creates different social conflicts but has the same potential in breaking the integrity of ethnic groups. The case study is used as an approach in this research to identify the sources, motives and issues of social conflict, explore the causes and map the potential for social conflicts that occur in the Meranti Islands district, as a representation of areas near the border. The selection of the district aims to get the character of social conflicts, so that the data obtained from the mapping can be the main reference in determining prevention or handling efforts, to social conflict resolution mechanisms based on the conditions and needs of various parties.

M. H. Thamrin No. 8, Jakarta 10340 email: [email protected] ABSTRACT Indonesia has the largest area of tropical peatlands in the world, between 13.5-26.5 million ha (an average of 20 million ha). Peatland in Bengkalis Regency is 800,017.67 ha (69.68% of the total area of the district plains). Forest and peatland fires are a concern of all parties nationally because they cause harm to the community. To develop efforts to mitigate forest and peatland fire disasters, it is necessary to complete data and information on areas prone to forest and land fire hazards. The results of the analysis of the potential of land and peat fire prone areas in Bengkalis Regency showed that in general the study sites had scores of potential fire hazard levels ranging from low to high. Low levels of potential fire hazards include the PBK-09 sample point in Ketam Putih Village, Bengkalis District. Moderate levels of potential fire hazards include PBK-08 sample points in Sukamaju Village, Bantan District, PBK-10 in Ketam Putih Village, Bengkalis District, PBK-11, and PBK-12 in Kelemantan Village, Bengkalis District. High levels of potential fire hazards include the PBK-01 to PBK-07 sample points located in Ketam Putih Village, Damai Village, Bengkalis District.
