“…At the same time, the type of vegetation and biota objects were obtained through direct field observations. The selection of these parameters is based on has been conducted by several studies [21,[23][24]31], which were adjusted to the field conditions at the research location. The mangrove tourism suitability index used in this study refers to the suitability matrix used in research [20][21][22][23][24][25], which can be seen in Table 1.…”

The Pantai Indah Kapuk (PIK) Mangrove Ecotourism is in DKI Jakarta Province. It can develop into sustainable tourism because it has good natural conditions and an easy-to-reach location. This research aims to determine the suitability index of mangrove forest tourism for sustainable tourism development. This research was conducted from February to March 2023. The method used in this research is a quantitative descriptive method. This study has two observation points to determine the thickness, density, type of vegetation, and biota objects. The results showed that this location has the potential to be used as a tourist attraction. It is supported by the value of the tourism suitability index for each research station of 68.7% at the first observation station and 62.5% at the second observation station. Rhizphora apiculata species dominate the composition of the mangrove vegetation in this location, with a density of 850 trees/ha. The thickness of the mangrove at this location is 60.4 m at the first station and 64.1 m at the second station. The biota objects found at the observation point were fish, mollusks, reptiles, and mammals. Overall, this research location is suitable for tourist attractions and can be developed to become more sustainable tourism. However, several efforts are needed to improve this suitability, such as mangrove forest rehabilitation and cooperation from various stakeholders.

Global Mangrove Deforestation and Its Interacting Social-Ecological Drivers: A Systematic Review and Synthesis

et al. 2022

Globally, mangrove forests are substantially declining, and a globally synthesized database containing the drivers of deforestation and drivers’ interactions is scarce. Here, we synthesized the key social-ecological drivers of global mangrove deforestation by reviewing about two hundred published scientific studies over the last four decades (from 1980 to 2021). Our focus was on both natural and anthropogenic drivers with their gradual and abrupt impacts and on their geographic coverage of effects, and how these drivers interact. We also summarized the patterns of global mangrove coverage decline between 1990 and 2020 and identified the threatened mangrove species. Our consolidated studies reported an 8600 km2 decline in the global mangrove coverage between 1990 and 2020, with the highest decline occurring in South and Southeast Asia (3870 km2). We could identify 11 threatened mangrove species, two of which are critically endangered (Sonneratia griffithii and Bruguiera hainseii). Our reviewed studies pointed to aquaculture and agriculture as the predominant driver of global mangrove deforestation though their impacts varied across global regions. Gradual climate variations, i.e., sea-level rise, long-term precipitation, and temperature changes and driven coastline erosion, salinity intrusion and acidity at coasts, constitute the second major group of drivers. Our findings underline a strong interaction across natural and anthropogenic drivers, with the strongest interaction between the driver groups aquaculture and agriculture and industrialization and pollution. Our results suggest prioritizing globally coordinated empirical studies linking drivers and mangrove deforestation and global development of policies for mangrove conservation.
