Indonesia memiliki area mangrove terluas di dunia (3,5 juta Ha), merepresentasikan lebih dari seperlima luasan mangrove dunia, dengan keragaman spesies paling tinggi di dunia. Walaupun begitu, data dari KKP menunjukkan angka kerusakan mangrove yang cukup tinggi, di mana 52% atau 1,82 juta Ha area mangrove Indonesia dalam kondisi rusak (KKP, 2020). Di sisi lain, ketersediaan data yang standar mengenai kondisi mangrove di Indonesia masih menjadi tantangan besar untuk diselesaikan.

Keberadaan data yang baik akan memberikan manfaat yang luar biasa besar, bukan hanya untuk kegiatan pengelolaan mangrove, akan tetapi juga untuk penelitian lebih jauh mengenai ekosistem mangrove. Untuk tujuan tersebut, diperlukan kolaborasi antar pihak untuk terlibat bersama dalam monitoring mangrove dengan tool yang standar. Keterlibatan stakeholder yang terkait dengan ekosistem mangrove seperti akademisi, NGO, Pemerintah Daerah dan Kelompok Masyarakat Konservasi akan menjadi bagian penting dalam implementasi Citizen Science. Pada saat ini, P2O LIPI telah mengembangkan MonMang, aplikasi berbasis Android yang mempermudah aktivitas monitoring mangrove. Bermacam fitur yang terdapat dalam aplikasi ini memungkinkan siapapun untuk dapat terlibat aktif dalam kegiatan monitoring mangrove.

Untuk membekali civitas akademika UB dan stakeholder mangrove, pada Hari Jumat, 19 Maret 2021 Pukul 14.00 – 16.00, dilaksanakan webtraining penggunaan Monmang melalui platform webconference Zoom dan livestream melalui kanal Youtube FPIK UB. Kegiatan ini diikuti oleh 300 peserta, dengan pemateri adalah I Wayan Eka Dharmawan,M.Si, peneliti mangrove dan ketua tim pengembangan aplikasi Monmang dari P2o LIPI. Kegiatan ini merupakan bagian dari rencana kolaborasi antara FPIK UB dengan P2O LIPI, meliputi aktivitas pemantauan mangrove berbasis Monmang, kegiatan penelitian dan aktivitas lainnya khususnya di area mangrove Jawa Timur.

Busan, South Korea (11/25/2019), lecturer of the FFMS UB Marine Sciences program, Ade Yamindago, S.Kel, MP, M.Sc delivered his research presentation at the 30th ASEAN-RoK Commemorative Summit attended by Indonesian President Joko Widodo.

Ade Yamindago, S.Kel, MP, M.Sc who is currently completing doctoral education at the University of Science and Technology (Korea Institute of Ocean Science and Technology) of South Korea, in the 30th ASEAN-RoK Commemorative Summit Summit, presented an analysis of the impact of new nanoparticle contaminants and drugs in aquatic animals, which affect the bacterial composition of associations and relationships between organisms and their associated bacteria, physiological disorders such as DNA and protein damage, cell death, oxidative stress, endoplasmic reticulum stress, infertility and sex reversal which result in decreased health, death and decline in aquatic animal populations.

The 30th ASEAN-RoK Commemorative Summit (Summit) Summit is a meeting between Indonesian research scientists in South Korea who are members of the Indonesian Research Association in South Korea (APIK).

This activity discussed three recommendations from Indonesian research scientists in South Korea to accelerate the progress of research and innovation in Indonesia towards Indonesia Gold 2045 through the establishment of the National Research University (URI), optimization of the role of the National Innovation Research Agency (BRIN) and collaboration between universities and industry to improve the quality of superior Indonesian human resources.

Bali, 14-15 November 2019, CORECT – FFMS Universitas Brawijaya, CReSOS – Udayana University and Chiba University, held International Conference which focussed on climate change and sustainable environmental management to reduce global threats. This conference consists of three annual symposium, includes The Indonesian Japan Joint Scientific Symposium (IJJSS) 2019, 2th CORECT symposium – Brawijaya University and CEReS International Symposium – Chiba University.

The collaboration between Indonesian universities and Japan universities and sister universities are growing up. This collaboration creates academic and research collaboration among Indonesia universities and Japan universities in many areas.

IJJSS 2019 is the 9th symposium organized by FFMS UB and CReSOS UNUD. IJJSS is one of the collaborative implementations between Chiba University and FFMS UB and FKIP UNUD.

In this activity, Prof. Hiraoki Kuze as Director of Chiba University explained that the shifting of seasons, drought and floods has greatly affected the agriculture and maritime sectors. Various technological and multidisciplinary scientific  approaches are needed to find new breakthroughs to create a better life. Meanwhile, Prof. Josaphat Tetuko Sri Sumantyo, Head of Chiba University’s ) Josaphat  Remote Sensing Laboratory (JMRSL) explained about the development of a CP-SAR (Circularly Polarized-Synthetic Aperture Radar) system conducted by the JMRSL laboratory as a new breakthrough in remote sensing systems for environmental monitoring and disaster management. This technology is being developed by Prof. Josaphat and the JMRSL team at Chiba University, Japan.

This activity was attended by 200 researchers and academics from 13 countries. A total of 6 keynote speakers and 10 invited speakers were presented at this activity. Through the conference, it is expected to maintain strong relationships and collaborations between Universitas Brawijaya, Udayana University, and Chiba University both now and in the future.
