Site Description

| |
The Baluran Volcano is bordered on three sides by the sea. There are coral reefs which are remarkably rich in species south of Air Karang up to Tanjung Cabang, south of Kelor. Shallow coral reefs and mudflats which are exposed at low tide are found at Air Tawar, Bilik and Air Karang/Balanan. These areas support migratory shorebirds such as plovers, curlew and sandpipers as well as the resident reef heron. The crater wall varies in height from 900 - 1,247m. The caldera is about 600m deep. There is a broad lowland mantle of 5 - 7km wide on the north and east side of the volcano, flat to gently undulating, but becoming steeper above 200 - 250 m. There are numerous seasonal streams. The coastline is 40km long, generally broken, rocky and interspersed with small coves with corals, sandbanks and mudflats. The beaches of Baluran are comprised of black sand, blak small-stone beaches or coarse coral banks, depending on the area. Only a small stretch of fine, white sand is known to be visited by sea turtles. There are some patches of mangrove forest.
Principal vegetation: 1,000 ha of freshwater swamp forest with Excoecaria agallocha, Szygium polyanthum, Buchania arborescens. About 750 ha of mangrove forest, which is dominated on the muddy soil by Avicennia spp., Soneratia spp., and Rhizophora spp. with locally pure stands of Ceriops tagal and Rhizophora apiculata. The higher parts of the coral beaches are dominated by Pemphis acidula. |
