Distribution of seaweed culture area
contained in all coastal waters Wolo
district. Broad expanse of productive
seaweed farming in this region reach
742.5 ha with the widest stretch is in the
village of Muara Lapa-Pao. Productive
acreage used in the cultivation of
seaweed to 324 112 ha and involving
seaweed farmers (DKP Kolaka District,
2010)
The high potential in the Wolo
District especially for
commodities seaweed farming
became the main reason to the
need for surveys and direct
observation to obtain
information and data related
potentials and constraints faced
by farmers culturing seaweed
aquaculture development for
the benefit of Southeast
Sulawesi, Indonesia in
particular.
 The method used for data
collection was to conduct
field observations and
interviews directly to 10
correspondents from
aquaculture farmers in 3
villages namely Donggala
village, Muara Lapa-pao
village and Lana village.
While the secondary data
obtained from the DKP
Kolaka District.
Moreover done also sand
and water sampling for
laboratory testing
 Seaweed farming activities have been carried
out in the district. Kolaka especially in the
district. Wolo and provide overall economic
development for farmers and communities.
Not only seaweed, also cultured milkfish
(Chanos Chanos) and crustaceans such as
Vaname shrimp (Litopaneus vannamei) in
ponds. It's just that the level of production of
seaweed culture, causing higher-pao village

Muara Lapa-pao village is one of the villages
in the Wolo district is a central area
of seaweed production in Southeast Sulawesi

Theexistence of Muara Lapa-pao right in front of

the promontory Ladongi cause potential territory
to perform cultivation r. Because sea currents
and waves covered so no great effect
 Seaweed production

Kuda Laut" never got
the II National
Champion as the best
seaweed producing
villages nationwide.
 From the interview, all
the farmers claimed
that during the
seaweed culture their
economic conditions
improved. As the main
livelihood, they truly
believe that seaweed
farming activities can
help them in the
improvement of the
economy.
 Based on the data available, the potential
areas such as Lapa-Pao Muara Village,
Villages and Countryside Lana Donggala
expected to be central to the
development of seaweed cultivation in
order to achieve production targets,
announced DKP Kab. Kolaka.
For that conducted surveys and interviews
with farmers in three villages in order to
obtain primary information.

 The presence of farmers 'groups like farmers'
group Kuda Laut, Bintang Laut, Lasao Indah and
other farmer groups become important things
farmers strengthen cooperation in the
development of seaweed farming. Each group
has an organizational structure consisting of a
chairman, treasurer, secretary and members. For
farmers in the village of Muara Lapa-pao has
cultured seaweed submarine 8-10 years, while in
the village and the village of Lana and Donggala
cultured from 2-6 years. So some farmers in this
village has cultured expertise of other farmers in
the village of Muara Lapa-pao.
 Production of seaweed
farming in the village of
Muara Lapa-pao current
gradually decreased.
Although there is no real
data amount decreased
production of relevant
institutions, but from
the interviews mentions
that around the village
of seaweed farming
activities they have
decreased significantly
due to changes in
environmental
conditions.
 The results of field observations show a
decrease in the quality of the marine
environment with water color changes to red
and Thallus pieces of seaweed found on the
beach that away by the waves.
Allegedly these changes due to mining
activities that took place around the three
villages, resulting in polluted waters by
dredging sediment in mountain land within 1-
2 km from the village of Muara Lapa-pao and
15-20 km from the village of Lana
Cultivation area of seaweed

contaminated Waste
 While the results of interviews, some farmers
complained about the decline in the quality
of their environment seaweed area under
cultivation. If the previous season ice-ice
disease only occurs in August to October, but
now it happens every month.
Besides seaweeds indication of the intensity
of the disease, the abundance of fish have
also started to decline because catches are
no longer the same waters near the
settlement amount.
 From interviews with farmers, found
variability information from the residents
who live around the village of seaweed
farmers in particular. Farmers from the
village of Muara Lapa-Pao said that there was
no significant effect of mining activities on
the cultivation of seaweeds. While the
farmers of the lana village and Donggala
village said that mining activities are very
influential on seaweed cultivation process.
 Ifthe terms of the statement by the existing
community and found that while the alleged
mining activity affects the sustainability of
the growth of seaweed.
The findings of the survey team rope spans
many unused seaweed, the grassy-the result
is not used and the least activity drying
seaweed showing signs of decline in
production of seaweed
 Another indication that the presence of
sea cucumbers at the farmers under the
mountain village of Muara Lapa-pao no
longer exist because mining activity at
the volcano.
In addition, some farmers to stop
farming of shrimp ponds and fish due to
dust and declining water quality and led
to losses and crop failure.
The number of members of farmer
groups who came out and prefer to work
as a labor of mine.
And farmers cultivating currently
focused on the arrest.
Forecast decline in production of the
interview showed that:
Seaweed production in the village of Lana
decreased by about 30-50% (even stop)
Seaweed production in the village of
Donggala decreased by about 70-80%
(even stop)
Seaweed production in the village of
Muara Lapa-pao decreased by about 80-
100% (even stop)
 From field observations and interviews
found several factors that affect to
seaweed farming activities:
sedimentation mine
Solar / Oil Vessel nickel
Dust and smoke from mining activities
Environmental pollution caused by waste
Remainder due to other factors (global
warming, weather, etc.)
 The whole seaweed farmers in the village of
Muara Lapa-pao has received compensation or
indemnity fund of their culture as much as 30
million / ha. As for the other villages as the
village and the village of Lana Donggala totally
given compensation fund.

Whereas farmers in this village are also affected

by the environment of the mine. Both of
sedimentation in the rain and throwing freight
transportation nickel solar waters. So it is no
longer able to carry out farming activities
Some mining companies operating in the District Wolo including PT.
Waja Inti Lestari (WIL), Cooperative Lapaka Indah, PT. Global, PT.
Emin, and PT. Nibandera Perkasa. There are two in there that
bagging IUP, such as PT. CNI and PT. WIL. Others do not have the IUP
(Kendarinews.com)
 Ifthis condition continues to be allowed to
proceed, mining activities that destroy the
environment and the decline in production
due to increased disease and reduced
catches. So predictable Muara Lapa-pao was
previously a village seaweed biggest
producer would stay memorable. Because
until now there has been no concrete steps
taken by the government and the mines in
addressing this problem.
 If this happens, then nationally, Indonesia
will lose assets best source of seaweed, and
will impact on the growth of the national
r.laut production, and that means we will
also lose minapolitan region.
Supply of seedlings of these villages will no
longer be done, it can even be a great
fishery potential is no longer able to be
exploited to the fullest.
Funding of 64 million of DKP Prov. R.laut to
farmers in the village of Lana had futile
because farmers suffered losses due to the
negative impact of mining activities.
 To strengthen the polluted waters indication,
then the samples were taken at 10 stations
on the waters of Muara Lapa-pao and Lana
village. Samples will be analyzed in the
Laboratory to determine the content of
nickel and other harmful compounds.
 Based on the results of data retrieval and
review directly the condition of the field, it
can be proposed principle these should be
advice to all parties must participate in the
response to the environmental impact of the
mining activities. Particularly relevant
agencies are required to do the steps solutif
overcome various problems faced by
seaweed farmers. While the mine the need
to make efforts in environmentally sound
mining and compensate all farmers who
suffered losses
