“…The results showed the water brightness reaches 100% because the waters of the Tidung Island is categorized into shallow waters, so the penetration of light can penetrate through the bottom of the waters. According to Wijaya et al, (2018), high brightness may be affected by shallow depths that have been penetrated by the sunlight into the water column. Hasriyanti (2013) similarly states that water transparency can be influenced by depth factor, while Yulisa et al (2016) stated that the material or substrate of water base is the determinant of the waters' brightness.…”

Tidung Island has the potential for the development of marine tourism area. Since 2009, the number of tourists visiting the area has been increasing every year. Without proper management, however, this condition might harm the surrounding ecosystem. This study aims to determine the suitability and carrying capacity of coastal tourism area in Tidung Island, Kepulauan Seribu. This study used the analyses of coastal tourism suitability index and carrying capacity of coastal area. The results showed the suitability index of the research locations was 94.05% with the carrying capacity of 180 tourists per day for the first location; the second location was 89.28% with the carrying capacity of 300 tourists per day; and for the third location was 94.05% with the carrying capacity of 60 tourists per day. The three research sites are categorized into very suitable in terms of the suitability as tourism spots.

“…Recently, the TSI has received growing attention to assess the potential of marine ecotourism. Noviama et al (2018), Setyaningrum et al (2019), Wijaya et al (2018) have assessed the TSI for coral reef ecotourism, while Harahab and Setiawan (2017), Rahmila and Halim (2018), and Simanjuntak et al (2018) have assessed the potential of mangrove ecotourism. The differences of ecotourism assessment performed in Karawang compared to previous studies were this present study has provided a spatial distribution of the TSI in the form of TSI thematic maps.…”

Abstract. Pin TG, Supriatna J, Takarina ND, Tambunan RP. 2021. Mangrove diversity and suitability assessments for ecotourism in Cimalaya Wetan Coast, Karawang District, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 22: 803-810. Mangrove forest has been a popular ecotourism destination recently. One of the methods to assess the mangrove potential for ecotourism is by using Tourism Suitability Index (TSI). This study was aimed to assess the ecotourism potentials of mangrove forest sizing of 56.43 hectares in Cilamaya Wetan Sub-district, Karawang District, West Java Province, Indonesia using the TSI method. To assess the mangrove variables, 10 sampling stations have been selected across the coast. In each station, 10 sample plots sizing of 10 m x 10 m have been established. The TSI was measured based on mangrove variables including species diversity, density, and thickness. We recorded six mangrove plant species belonging to three plant families. Avicennia alba, Bruguiera gymnorrhiza and Rhizophora stylosa, were common species found along the coast. Shannon-Wiener index (H’) showed that the west and east parts of Cimalaya Wetan had high mangrove diversity compared to the central part. The TSI analysis showed that the most suitable areas of mangrove forests for ecotourism were 32.18 hectares (57.11% of the total area), mainly located in the east part of the coast. Moreover, the moderate and least suitable areas were 19.12 hectares (33.94%) and 5.03 hectares (8.93%), respectively, and located in the central part of the coast.

“…Juliana et al (2013) argues that the current speed feasible for SCUBA diving and snorkeling tourism is between 15 and 40 cm/s. Current is a limiting factor in terms of SCUBA diving tourism suitability as it affects diver's movement to keep their balance (Wijaya et al, 2017).…”

Sintok and Cilik islands of Karimunjawa are located in an area with potentials for SCUBA diving and snorkeling tourism. While these areas are developed into tourist destinations, efforts to preserve the environment need to be carried out. As a consequence, assessment of diving and snorkeling tourism management needs to be conducted by referring to indicators pertaining to the environmental aspects specified by the United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO). The carrying capacity of the diving and snorkeling tourism sites needs to be measured so that the area can be a sustainable tourism destination. The objective of the study is to conduct an assessment of environmental aspects as an effort in implementing sustainable tourism development. Another objective is to identify the Tourism Suitability Index (TSI) and carrying capacity of the SCUBA diving and snorkeling tourism sites in Sintok and Cilik islands. The research methods employed were in-depth interviews and field observations. Study results indicate that Sintok island and Cilik island scored 23 and 24, respectively, for the environmental aspects in sustainable tourism development, with an average value of 3 for both islands. Based on these scores, they are categorized as "fairly suitable" with sustainable tourism development. The TSI scores obtained for SCUBA diving and snorkeling tourism in Sintok and Cilik islands are categorized as "highly suitable" (S1) and "fairly suitable" (S2). The tourism area's carrying capacity of the SCUBA diving and snorkeling tourism sites in Sintok island is 2,406 persons/day, while Cilik island's carrying capacity is 510 persons/day.
