“…The existence of mangrove can reduce the greenhouse emissions (Chen et al, 2016), provide carbon stocks (Martuti et al, 2017;Donato et al, 2012) for coastal carbon cycle (Alongi, 2014), and water pollution biofilter from heavy metal poisoning (Kariada & Irsadi, 2014.;Sandilyan & Kathiresan, 2014). Further, strong rooting of the mangroves can reduce the influence of the waves for protecting the beach from erosion (Faridah-Hanum et al, 2013;Sulaiman et al, 2018), hold back waves, and the typhoon (Auliyani & Hendarto, 2013;Blankespoor et al, 2016;Tyree et al, 2012). Therefore, mangrove conservation is a must to implement sustainable environmental management in the coastal area (Donato et al, 2012;Irsadi et al, 2019).…”

Mangrove forest in the coastal area in the Suli subdistrict is one of the sources of livelihood for the local people. The objective of this research is to analyze the public perception of the coastal community towards mangrove forests. The analysis was carried out using a questionnaire-multilevel scale with the level of assessment that refers to the Likert scale. The questionnaires, which were disseminated to 100 respondents, contained questions about the public perception in the coastal mangrove area. The questions were divided into 5 part questions, namely: 4 questions for the public perception towards ecological functions, 7 questions for community participation, 5 questions for economic benefit, 5 questions for social and culture, and 5 questions for government regulation. The results revealed that the average public perception towards the ecological functions of mangrove was good, with a value of 4.11 (in category 4). The public perception towards public participation was also good, with a value of 3.69 (in category 4). Moreover, the public perception about the economic benefits of mangrove was quite good, with a value of 3.37 (in category 3). The social and culture was quite good, with a value of 3.32 (in category 3). Finally, the public perception towards government regulation (law enforcement) was good, with a value of 3.57 (in category 4). Based on the results, the average value was 3.61, which means that mangroves management is good (in category 4) based on the perceptions of a coastal community in the Suli Subdistrict. The level of education does not affect the perception of the importance of mangrove management. This was caused by the existence of local wisdom, which considers that mangroves are the nails of the earth that can prevent coastal abrasion. This local wisdom is maintained up to now, where the local community formed a group of mangrove lovers that aims to plant and conserve mangroves.

“…First, our estimates are likely to underestimate the protective value of mangroves in the long run because mangrove protection may entail benefits on outcomes such as lives saved, health, and human capital accumulation, which are not well captured by nightlights. Second, while climate change and the resulting intensification of storms may increase the value of conservation for protection purposes, areas designated for conservation or restoration must be carefully chosen given the threat of sea-level rise (Blankespoor et al, 2017). Consequently, an important avenue for future research is the identification of areas that should be prioritized for conservation or restoration.…”

Environmental Factors Supporting Mangrove Ecosystem in Semarang-Demak Coastal Area

2019

Since the 1990s, the Semarang-Demak coastal area experienced abrasion. To protect abrasion, there have been many attempts such as planting mangroves, in which its development has shown success. The purpose of this study was to analyze environmental factors that play a role in the growth of mangroves ecosystem in the Semarang-Demak coastal area. Mangrove data were obtained by field studies using the transect method in three coastal areas. Each station is determined by the next station with five plots of size 20 m x 20 m. Data on supporting environmental factors are measured in each area including temperature, salinity, pH, light intensity, nutrients, and rainfall. Based on the results of analysis and calculations, the order of important values from large to small is A. marina, A. alba, R. mucronata, S. casseolaris, and R. stylosa, while environmental factors still fulfill mangrove growth. However, it needs to be aware of the increase in waves and temperatures that could threaten the survival of mangroves.
