Pengembangan Ekowisata Snorkeling Bedasarkan Potensi Ekowisata di Kecamatan Lepar Kabupaten Bangka Selatan

Abstract

Ekowisata bahari suatu konsep pemanfaatan berkelanjutan dengan sistem pelayanan jasa lingkungan yang mengutamakan sumberdaya alam bahari sebagai objek pelayanan (Yulianda, 2010). Kegiatan wisata bahari yang secara langsung menggunakan terumbu karang sebagai objeknya adalah snorkeling. Kegiatan snorkeling memerlukan perhitungan daya dukung untuk mengetahui titik nyaman pengunjung ketika melakukan kegiatan snorkeling. Tujuan dari penelitian ini yaitu mengetahui potensi sumberdaya Bahari untuk snorkeling, mengetahui daya dukung Kawasan untuk snorkeling, merancang luaran beruapa program ekowisata Bahari, paket wisata dan poster. Data potensi Bahari terdiri dari parameter kesesuaian wisata snorkeling. Data daya dukung kawasan terdiri dari parameter kesesuaian wisata snorkeling. Kecerahan menggunakan metode seichhi disk, tutupan karang dan jenis lifeform karang menggunakan metode line intercept transect, jenis ikan karang menggunakan metode underwater visual census, kecepatan arus menggunakan bola pingpong dan stopwatch, kedalaman menggunakan tongkat dan lebar hamparan datar karang menggunakan google earth dengan tools ruler dan QGIS. Pulau Kelapan ditemukan ACB (Acropora Branching) ACE (Acropora Encrusting), ACD (Acroproa Digitate) dan CM (Coral Massive) sedangkan untuk jenis lifeform yang terdapat Pantai Karang Kucek yakni ACB (Acropora Branching), ACE (Acropora Encrusting), ACD (Acroproa Digitate), ACS (Acropora Submassive) dan CM (Coral Massive). Nilai indeks kesesuaian wisata snorkeling di Kecamatan Lepar terbagi menjadi 3 kategori terdiri dari Sesuai (S2), Sesuai Bersyarat (S3) dan Tidak Sesuai (N).Daya Dukung Kawasan untuk snorkeling di Kecamatan Lepar adalah 827 orang/hari. Program ekowisata yang dirancang memiliki judul “Play & Learn at Sea”, “Ocean Guardians”, “Blue Hope”, “Coral Convervation Expedition” dan “The Island Journey”. Paket yang dirancang memiliki judul “Adventure in Lepar” dengan biaya Rp 825.000/orang.

Marine ecotourism is a concept of sustainable use with an environmental services system that prioritizes marine natural resources as service objects (Yulianda, 2010). A marine tourism activity that directly uses coral reefs as its object is snorkeling. Snorkeling activities require carrying capacity calculations to determine the visitor's comfort point when carrying out snorkeling activities. The aim of this research is to determine the potential of marine resources for snorkeling, determine the carrying capacity of the area for snorkeling, design outputs in the form of marine ecotourism programs, tour packages and posters. Maritime potential data consists of suitability parameters for snorkeling tourism. Regional carrying capacity data consists of parameters for the suitability of snorkeling tourism. Brightness using the Seichhi disk method, coral cover and types of coral lifeforms using the line intercept transect method, types of coral fish using the underwater visual census method, current speed using a ping pong ball and stopwatch, depth using a stick and width of a flat stretch of coral using Google Earth with ruler tools and QGIS. Kelapan Island found ACB (Acropora Branching) ACE (Acropora Encrusting), ACD (Acroproa Digitate) and CM (Coral Massive) while the types of lifeforms found on Karang Kucek Beach were ACB (Acropora Branching), ACE (Acropora Encrusting), ACD (Acroproa Digitate), ACS (Acropora Submassive) and CM (Coral Massive). The suitability index value for snorkeling tourism in Lepar District is divided into 3 categories consisting of Suitable (S2), Conditionally Suitable (S3) and Not Suitable (N). The carrying capacity of the area for snorkeling in Lepar District is 827 people/day. The ecotourism programs designed are entitled "Play & Learn at Sea", "Ocean Guardians", "Blue Hope", "Coral Conservation Expedition" and "The Island Journey". The package designed is entitled "Adventure in Lepar" and costs IDR 825,000/person.
