“…That situation is similar to the local community in Selayar, they understand the benefits and functions of seagrass, but they are unaware of the services they obtain from the seagrass ecosystem [23]. While public awareness is important in supporting seagrass conservation action [24]. Our study suggests that public dissemination related to provisioning services of seagrass ecosystems needs to be increased.…”

Seagrass ecosystem provides many ecosystem services, including provisioning services in which people obtain direct products (e.g., food) from the ecosystem. This study examined the seagrass ecosystem provisioning service in Pari Island, Jakarta Bay. The data was collected in May 2021 using questionaries from 97 respondents (40 fishers and 57 non-fishers) living on the island. Our analysis reveals that seagrass ecosystems around Pari Island deliver food sources and income for the local communities. Many species of fishes, shellfishes, shrimps, and swimming crabs are commonly harvested by the local community. The most dominant harvested fishes are rabbitfishes (Siganus spp, 85%) and emperor fishes (Lethrinus sp, 15%), while the harvested shellfishess are “kerang bulu” (Anadara spp, 42%), “buol” (Venus sp, 32%), and “kere-kere” (Grafrarium spp, 26%). The locals use fishing gear such as nets and handlines to catch fish and use knives, machetes, and crowbars to collect shellfish. Generally, the locals harvest biota in seagrass ecosystems 1-2 times per week, with a time of about 1-2 hours. The harvested biotas serve as protein sources; only a few community members sell it for livelihood. In conclusion, the provisioning services of seagrass ecosystems is manifested as a food sources and livelihood to the local communities.

“…Figure 2). To date, the seagrass blue carbon concept is not yet mainstreamed in coastal management‐related or conservation programs at the local and national scaled (e.g., Hejnowicz et al, 2015; Lukman et al, 2021; Quevedo et al, 2020b; Rifai et al, 2022).…”

“…There is a need to bridge the gap between global, national, and local contexts of seagrass recognition. For instance, in Indonesia, to improve seagrass awareness in the country, the establishment of information boards in all seagrass areas is needed, especially in regions near residential areas, linking national agendas to local settings (Rifai, Hernawan, et al, 2022). Understanding community perceptions of seagrasses particularly in local settings is a critical step for integrated conservation efforts (Quevedo et al, 2020b, 2022).…”

“…However, there are MPAs that benefitted the biological diversity exclusively and does not provide positive impacts on local community welfare due to limited local participation, unfair sharing of economic benefits, and lack of conflict resolution mechanisms, particularly in developing countries such as Indonesia and the Philippines (Christie, 2004). In Indonesia, the implementation of MPAs is perceived ineffective to provide protection for seagrass ecosystems partly due to the lack of community awareness of these habitats (Rifai, Hernawan, et al, 2022).…”
