Abstract


ABSTRACT

Seagrass is one of the fertile ecosystems and has enough potential to be exploited.  Seagrasses always get exposure of ultra violet (UV) rays so that they produce secondary metabolites to maintain their lives from UV radiation that is harmful to seagrasses. The aims of this study was to identify seagrass samples, obtain the extracts and determine the anti-UV activity test on seagrass extracts. The results of this study obtained 4 types of seagrass from the waters around Bahowo Village, namely Enhalus acoroides, Syringodium isoetifolium, Thalassia hemprichi, and Cymodocea serrulata. These four types of seagrass have been extracted and tested for their anti-UV activity.  Seagrass species Enhalus acoroides has anti-UV-A and UV-B activity, Syringodium isoetifolium has anti-UV-B activity, Cymodocea serrulata has anti-UV-C activity and Thalassia hemprichii has anti-UV-A and UV-C activity.

Keywords : Seagrass, Enhalus acoroides, Syringodium isoetifolium Cymodocea serrulata, Thalassia hemprichii, Anti-UV
