Abstract
Karapyak Beach is one of the beaches that has a variety of abundant marine ecosystems. One of the marine ecosystems is seagrass. This study aims to identify the structure of seagrass communities in Karapyak waters based on seagrass species, species density, species frequency, diversity, and uniformity. This research was conducted in February – April 2021. The method used is a survey method with direct observation at each predetermined station using a square transect measuring 1 x 1 m2. While the determination of stations and observation points is done by purposive sampling method. The research location is divided into three stations, each station is divided into five substations (plots), and a 50 m transect line is made perpendicular to the shoreline. Furthermore, the results showed four types of seagrass found in the waters of Karapyak Beach, namely Cymodocea rotundata, Thalassia hemprichii, Halodule pinifolia, Halodule uninervis. The density of seagrass at station I was in the medium category, namely 125 individuals/m2, with a cover percentage of 86%. Then the lowest seagrass density was found at the second station, which was 104 individuals/m2 including the unhealthy category with a cover percentage of 58%. While the highest density score was shown at the third station, namely 144 individuals/m2 with a closing percentage of 94%.
