Mobile Macroalgae – Get to Know the Wealth of Maluku Macroalgae from the Palm of Your Hand

Mobile Macroalgae is an educational application designed to introduce and document the diversity of macroalgae found in the Maluku archipelago, especially on the islands of Buru, Ambon, Seram, Kei, Aru, Tanimbar, and Moa. This application is presented as a means of interactive learning and scientific information about macroalgae that play an important role in coastal ecosystems and the lives of local communities.

🌿 What are Macroalgae?
Macroalgae are large marine plants that live attached to the seabed, rocks, or coral. They consist of three main groups: green algae (Chlorophyta), brown algae (Phaeophyta), and red algae (Rhodophyta). In addition to being a source of oxygen and a habitat for marine biota, macroalgae also have economic value as food, medicine, cosmetics, and bioenergy.

📍 Regional Focus
This application highlights the potential and diversity of macroalgae from seven main regions in Maluku:

Buru Island

Ambon

Seram Island

Kei Islands

Aru Islands

Tanimbar Islands

Moa Island

Each region has its own unique types and potential for the use of macroalgae, and this application attempts to document them in detail and easily accessible.

🎯 Who is Suitable for Using This Application?
Students and College Students in the fields of marine biology, ecology, or environmental education

Researchers and Academics who need visual data and references for local macroalgae

Teachers and Educators who want to introduce Indonesia's biological wealth to students

Environmentalists and marine conservation activists

Local Communities and Fishermen who want to know the benefits of marine algae around them

🤝 Goals and Benefits
Mobile Macroalgae is not only an identification tool, but also a form of documentation of local knowledge and promotion of Maluku's biological wealth. With this application, it is hoped that the community can:

Better know and appreciate the potential of the sea in their area

Increase environmental literacy and conservation

Support the sustainable use of marine resources
