Kata kunci : foraminifera bentik; analisis cluster; indikator lingkungan; Perairan Batam - Riau Analysis of benthic foraminifera from 42 seafloor sediment samples from Batam Waters, shows very high abundance, consists of 123 species, which are 72 species belong to Rotaliina, 28 species of Miliolina, and 23 species of Textulariina. Based on cluster analysis, the study area is divided into 5 groups, each cluster is dominated by Asterorotalia trispinosa, Pseudorotalia annectens, Amphistegina radiata, Quinqueloculina cf. Q. philippinensis, and Operculina ammonoides. These five species of benthic foraminifera are indicators for shallow marine water environment, with coarse sediment fraction and associated with high energy environment and coral reef. The benthic foraminiferal distribution is influenced by current pattern, sediment distribution, and coral reef. There is a significant difference between benthic foraminiferal distribution in the western part with the northern and the eastern parts. These three parts of the study area have different current pattern, energy, and sediment distribution. Batam Waters is assumed still in good environment, derived from both high abundance of benthic foraminifera and the high value of diversity index (>3).

Kepulauan Karimunjawa memiliki nilai konservasi yang tinggi karena kelimpahan, keragaman jenis dan ekosistemnya. Degradasi terumbu karang secara tidak langsung akan berpengaruh terhadap keseimbangan ekosistem di sekitarnya. Penelitian foraminfera ini dilakukan di sekitar Pulau Cemara Besar dan Cemara Kecil dengan mengambil contoh sedimen dasar laut di dua puluh enam titik lokasi. Tujuan penelitian untuk mengetahui tingkat kelayakan lingkungan terhadap pertumbuhan terumbu karang berdasarkan komposisi foraminifera bentik yang terdapat di Pulau Cemara Besar dan Pulau Cemara Kecil. Metode yang digunakan adalah melalui pendekatan kelimpahan foraminifera bentik dengan menghitung FORAM (Foraminifera inReef Assessment and Monitoring) Index. Pengambilan contoh sedimen untuk memperoleh sampel foraminifera yang dilakukan dengan penyelaman dan sebagian dengan menggunakan pemercontoh comot. Secara umum, perairan di sekitar Pulau Cemara Besar sangat kondusif untuk pertumbuhan terumbu karang dengan nilai FORAM Index FI > 5. Foraminifera bentik yang mendominasi adalah Amphistegina, Calcarina, Streblus dan Reusella. Di bagian barat dan baratlaut Pulau Cemara Kecil, kelimpahan foraminifera bentik sangat rendah, dan juga memperlihatkan ornamentasi cangkang yang tidak jelas. Hal tersebut menunjukkan bahwa pada kedua daerah ini kondisi lingkungan terumbu sudah mulai terganggu. Kondisi terganggu ini didukung oleh dominannya jenis Streblus yang biasanya merupakan indikator lingkungan yang berenergi tinggi, serta hadirnya jenis-jenis opportunistic lainnya seperti Pseudorotalia dan Elphidium.

Mikrofauna foraminifera telah banyak digunakan sebagai proksi dalam penelitian paleoseanografi dan perubahan iklim purba. Kelimpahan dan komposisi kimia cangkang foraminifera merekam berbagai informasi yang dapat diinterpretasi berkaitan dengan perubahan lingkungan berdasarkan parameter-parameter paleoseanografi. Paleoseanografi Laut Halmahera sangat penting untuk dikaji karena berpengaruh terhadap dinamika iklim Indonesia dan iklim global. Perubahan-perubahan parameter oseanografi tersebut mempengaruhi sirkulasi arus global dan interaksi antara air-udara yang berperan terhadap penyebaran uap air ke lintang tinggi. Oleh karena itu tujuan penelitian ini adalah mempelajari distribusi foraminifera untuk rekonstruksi perubahan paleoseanografi di Laut Halmahera dan sekitarnya. Data foraminifera ini didukung dengan pemodelan umur dan rekonstruksi isotop stratigrafi berdasarkan analisis d18O G. ruber dan C14 radiokarbon dating. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kelimpahan foraminifera di Laut Halmahera sangat dipengaruhi oleh iklim global. Kelimpahan foraminifera terutama didominasi oleh G. ruber, G. bulloides, P. obliqueloculata, N. dutertrei, dan G. menardii dari jenis planktonic. Sedangkan jenis bentik didominasi oleh Bulimina spp., Bolivinita quadrilatera, Bolivina spp., dan Uvigerina spp. Biozonasi foraminifera menunjukkan korelasi yang sangat baik dengan data ?18O dan mencerminkan perubahan – perubahan iklim di masa lalu yang terjadi sejak 50.000 tahun yang lalu antara lain glasial akhir yang berlangsung sejak zona 1 - 4b, LGM (subzone 4b), deglasiasi (subzona 4c), kondisi seperti YD dari bumi bagian utara atau ACR dari bumi bagian selatan pada awal zona 5, interglasial (pertengahan zona 5), dan Mid Holosen Maksimum pada pertengahan subzona 5a. Kata kunci: Distribusi foraminifera, paleoseanografi, isotop oksigen, perubahan iklim global, Laut Halmahera. Microfauna foraminifera has been widely used as a potential proxy for paleoceanography and paleoclimatological changes. Its assemblages and its test geochemical composition preserve important data that could interprete various oceanographic parameters related to the paleoenvironmental changes. The paleoceanography dynamic of Halmahera sea is very important to be studied due to its great impact to Indonesian and global climate. The changes of its oceanographic parameters influence the thermohaline circulation and the air-sea interaction that contribute to the water favour distribution to the high latitudes. Therefore this research purpose is to analyze the foraminiferal distribution in order to reconstruct the paleoceanography changes of Halmahera sea and surrounded. This foraminiferal study is supported by the age model reconstruction and isotope stratigraphy analysis based on d18O G. ruber and 14C dating. The result suggests that foraminiferal assemblage was influenced by global climate changes. Planktonic foraminifera is dominated by G. ruber, G. bulloides, P. obliqueloculata, N. dutertrei, and G. menardii. Benthic foraminifera is dominated by Bulimina spp., Bolivinita quadrilatera, Bolivina spp., and Uvigerina spp. Foraminiferal biozonation indicates coherent correlation with ?18O record, and reflects global paleoclimatic changes that occurred since the 50 ka BP. Those paleoclimatic changes are last glacial (zone 1 - subzone 4b), LGM (zone 4b), deglaciation that was started from subzone 4c, condition of YD like of Northern Hemisphere climate or ACR like of the Southern Hemisphere climate (the beginning of zone 5), interglacial (middle of zone 5), and Mid Holocene Maximum at the middle of subzone 5a.Keywords: Foraminiferal distribution, paleoceanograhy, oxygen isotope, global climate changes, Halmahera sea,
Tambelan Islands is one of the coral reef habitats in Indonesia. This area is the southern part of Natuna Sea and South China Sea Throughflow (SCSTF) exit area, which influenced the dynamics of the ocean and climate in Indonesia. Foraminifera is one of the potential bioindicator that can be used to determine the conditions of waters and the environmental health of coral reef. Twenty surface sediment samples were taken and quantitative analysis were made in order to obtain the condition of waters. This analysis including calculation of abundance, community structure, and analysis of biozonation (cluster and SHEBI). Meanwhile, to determine the condition of coral reef was using FORAM Index (FI). The results showed that there were 52 species of benthic foraminifera included in 41 genera. The most abundant genera were Amphistegina (average 28.08%) and Operculina (average 23.85%) which were a type of genera that associated with coral reefs. The FI values range from 3.57–9.12 indicating that environmental conditions are conducive to coral reefs. Biozonation from the cluster and SHEBI showed different results, indicating that the abundance of foraminifera in research area are influenced by complex factors such as substrate conditions and the activities on land.
Kepulauan Seribu is a well-known destination of marine tourism in Indonesia. Inevitably, the place has been affected by human activities. Hence it is important to preserve and conserve the area so as it is still suitable for reef community to grow and develop. One of the methods to evaluate the feasibility for reef environment is calculated by FoRAM Index (FI) values. Benthic foraminifera as a tool for environmental bioindicators were collected from 15 marine surface sediment samples in the vicinity areas of Kotok Besar, Kotok Kecil and Karang Bongkok islands in Kepulauan Seribu to assess the FI values. Approximately 20 genera of benthic foraminifera were found in the study area. The genera are dominated by Amphistegina and Calcarina along with Operculina, Quinqueloculina, Peneroplis, and Discorbis. The finding signifies reef flat environment as the dominant morphology, although the presence of fore slope is also observed particularly at the western part of Kotok Besar island. The assemblages of Operculina and Quinqueloculina suggest that the abundance of benthic foraminifera is influenced not only by the morphology of seafloor, but also by tidal current and terrestrial influence. The FI formula using foraminifers found in the study area results values above 4, thus the area can be reviewed as a decent environment for reef growth and development.

Oleh sebab itu sangat penting untuk menjaga dan melindungi kelestarian lingkungannya sehingga tetap cocok bagi komunitas karang untuk hidup dan berkembang. Salah satu metode untuk mengevaluasi kelayakan lingkungan terumbu adalah dengan menghitung nilai FoRAM Index (FI). Untuk analisis ini, foraminifera bentik dikoleksi dari 15 sampel sedimen permukaan laut dari daerah sekitar Pulau Kotok Besar, Kotok Kecil dan Pulau Karang Bongkok di Kepulauan Seribu. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan sekitar 20 genera foraminifera bentik yang ditemukan di daerah penelitian. Foraminifera didominasi oleh Amphistegina dan Calcarina, sedangkan jenis lain yang juga cukup berlimpah adalah Operculina, Quinqueloculina, Peneroplis, dan Discorbis. Hal ini menunjukkan lokasi penelitian memiliki jenis morfologi rataan karang sebagai morfologi dominan, walaupun kehadiran lereng karang (fore slope) juga teramati terutama pada bagian barat pulau Kotok Besar. Distribusi kelimpahan Operculina dan Quinqueloculina menunjukkan bahwa kelimpahan foraminifera bentik selain dipengaruhi oleh morfologi dasar laut juga dipengaruhi oleh pasang surut dan pengaruh terestrial. Hasil perhitungan FI berdasarkan foraminifera di wilayah penelitian menunjukkan nilai FI > 4 sehingga daerah ini dapat ditinjau sebagai lingkungan yang layak untuk pertumbuhan karang dan perkembangannya.
