Towards Development of a Web-Based System for Analyzing Marine Ecological Carrying Capacity (MECC) for Managing Marine Resources in The Outer Island of Indonesia (Case Study: Nunukan Regency)

Abstract

Research on the development of data integration system design and web-based system in the calculation of Marine Ecological Carrying Capacity (MECC) for managing marine and coastal resource management has been carried out. In this study, Nunukan Regency, North Kalimantan was chosen as the study area. The process of integrating data in managing marine and coastal resources in a sustainable manner using the carrying capacity concept approach is carried out by designing an information system development system in processing and displaying the results of MECC calculations. This can make it easier for decision makers to develop the utilization of blue economic potential in accordance with geographic conditions as well as efforts that can be made to increase the productivity of the blue economy in Nunukan Regency, North Kalimantan.

“…Any ecosystem that has reached beyond its carrying capacity is unsustainable; empirical evidence has also shown that the ecological carrying capacities of the ocean in China [33], along with many renowned dive sites in Palau [34], Indonesia [35], Malaysia [36], and the Persian Gulf [37] are already overloaded. Ecological carrying capacity is an indicator that is widely used in the environmental management of recreational activities.…”
