“…An increasing number of field studies have assessed the ecological outcomes of mangrove restoration actions, such as the effect of mangrove restoration on ecological functions including carbon sequestration 14 , nursery for fisheries 15 and heavy metal accumulation 16 . Similarly, studies have quantified the economic costs and benefits of mangrove restoration 17 . Results from these studies show divergent trends depending on their focus, context and methodology, and cannot be easily generalised as they typically focus on distinct contexts 18 .…”

Mangrove restoration has become a popular strategy to ensure the critical functions and economic benefits of this ecosystem. This study conducts a meta-analysis of the peer-reviewed literature on the outcomes of mangrove restoration. On aggregate, restored mangroves provide higher ecosystem functions than unvegetated tidal flats but lower than natural mangrove stands (respectively RR’ = 0.43, 95%CIs = 0.23 to 0.63; RR’ = −0.21, 95%CIs = −0.34 to −0.08), while they perform on par with naturally-regenerated mangroves and degraded mangroves. However, restoration outcomes vary widely between functions and comparative bases, and are mediated by factors such as restoration age, species, and restoration method. Furthermore, mangrove restoration offers positive benefit-cost ratios ranging from 10.50 to 6.83 under variable discount rates (−2% to 8%), suggesting that mangrove restoration is a cost-effective form of ecosystem management. Overall, the results suggest that mangrove restoration has substantial potential to contribute to multiple policy objectives related to biodiversity conservation, climate change mitigation and sustainable development.

“…For example, in the United States and New Zealand, ecological infrastructure of wetlands with riparian forest, floodplains and constructed wetlands (Mander et al, 2005;Watson et al, 2016). Mangroves also have documented direct and indirect benefits for coastal protection and adaptation for both urban and rural livelihoods, small-scale fisheries, and ecosystems (Tran and Bui, 2013;Diop et al, 2018;Rahman and Mahmud, 2018).…”

“…The space showed what clusters of practices were perceived to give high ecological benefits (agroforestry), high economic benefits (structural elements), or high in both (organic agriculture). Similarly, for the purpose of restoring an environmentally degraded mangrove ecosystem in Bangladesh, scientists developed a relative environmental and economic matrix with a quantitative cost-benefit study on four silvo-fishery systems under different restoration scenarios: integrated mangroveshrimp, crab-mangrove, mangrove bio-filtering, and nypa-shrimp over three periods between 0 and 10+ years (Rahman and Mahmud, 2018). Both studies showed that combinations of practices with multiple functions were beneficial, particularly when the introduction of structural elements have insignificant economic or productive motives.…”

“…Both studies showed that combinations of practices with multiple functions were beneficial, particularly when the introduction of structural elements have insignificant economic or productive motives. Moreover, interventions that require decades to mature, such as mangrove restoration, also strongly depend on community participation and governance commitment (Rahman and Mahmud, 2018).…”

Entering the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration, interventions referred to as nature-based solutions (NBS) are at the forefront of the sustainability discourse. While applied in urban, natural forest or wetland ecosystems, they are underutilized in agricultural landscapes. This paper presents a technical framework to characterise NBS in agricultural systems. NBS in the agriculture sector is proposed as “the use of natural processes or elements to improve ecosystem functions of environments and landscapes affected by agricultural practices, and to enhance livelihoods and other social and cultural functions, over various temporal and spatial scales.” The framework emerges from a review of 188 peer-reviewed articles on NBS and green infrastructure published between 2015 and 2019 and three international expert consultations organized in 2019–2020. The framework establishes four essential functions for NBS in agriculture: 1) Sustainable practices — with a focus on production; 2) Green Infrastructure — mainly for engineering purposes such as water and soil, and slope stabilization; 3) Amelioration — for restoration of conditions for plants, water, soil or air and climate change mitigation; and 4) Conservation — focusing on biodiversity and ecosystem connectivity. The framework connects the conventional divide between production and conservation to add functionality, purpose and scale in project design. The review confirmed limited evidence of NBS in agricultural systems particularly in developing country contexts, although specific technologies feature under other labels. Consultations indicated that wider adoption will require a phased approach to generate evidence, while integrating NBS in national and local policies and agricultural development strategies. The paper concludes with recommended actions required to facilitate such processes.

Keberadaan hutan mangrove di pesisir selatan kota Yogyakarta, kawasan hutan Baros, Bantul turut serta meningkatkan jumlah kunjungan wisatawan. Pengembangan kawasan tujuan wisata semakin digalakkan dengan menggerakkan sarana dan prasarana pendukung, seperti usaha perjalanan, hotel dan rumah makan serta industri-industri kerajinan, makanan khas dan tradisional. Sementara itu, hutan mangrove menghasilkan berbagai macam buah mangrove, salah satunya adalah buah siapi-api (Avicenna marina). Buah ini memiliki potensi untuk diolah sebagai bahan pangan seperti yang telah dilakukan oleh beberapa kawasan hutan mangrove lainnya di Indonesia. Menjawab tantangan tersebut maka dikembangkanlah produk yang memanfaatkan buah mangrove sebagai bahan brownies siapi-api sebagai produk oleh-oleh dari Baros, Bantul. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis kelayakan finansial pendirian industri kecil brownies siapi-api. Metode yang digunakan adalah metode penelitian deskriptif dengan obyek Kelompok Pemuda Pemudi Baros (KP2B), melalui observasi, survey dan wawancara serta metode kuantitatif melalui perhitungan untuk mengetahui kelayakan finansial. Analisis data finansial yang digunakan menggunakan rumus Revenue Cost (R/C), Benefit Cost (B/C), dan Return On Investment (ROI). Hasilnya, analisis kelayakan finansial menunjukkan bahwa R/C sebesar 1,43 yang artinya R/C>1 layak usaha, aspek B/C sebesar 0,43 yang artinya usaha ini layak dijalankan (B/C>0). Aspek yang terakhir yaitu ROI diperoleh sebesar 43%. Dengan demikian, usaha ini layak untuk dilanjutkan.
