Biodiversity of Natuna as a Potential Ramsar Site of Wetlands with International Importance in Indonesia

Ramsar site designation is an acknowledgment of a wetland’s importance. In this study, we conducted a biodiversity survey around Natuna to examine its eligibility as the next Ramsar site in Indonesia. This biodiversity survey was conducted through sampling for biological resources, using either tran...

We surveyed 32 sampling stations for endangered and vulnerable fish, water birds, and wetland-dependent species. Samples were identified in meristic and morphometric form.
