Mangrove ecotourisms in Cemara Beach Banyuwangi Regency continues to grow. Community groups develop Cemara Beach by utilizing mangroves as natural resources without reducing the value of conservation. Mangrove processed which have been produced is mangrove peyek, mangrove tea, and mangrove syrup. The problems founded is 1) legality of mangrove product like peyek, tea, and mangrove syrup, 2) The potential of Mangrove Rivers that have not been explored. The method used is training related to the legality of processed food products, as well as observation and documentation for the utilization of mangrove-surrounded rivers in Cemara Beach. The purpose of this is the people who are members of the Joint Business Group of Rejo Beach Pakis Banyuwangi Village, which has been consistent and committed to developing the Cemara Coast area through evaluation values. The approved results are training on food security, and that become the basis for the issuance of the legality of processed mangrove products that are certified as Household Products (P-IRT). Another result is an ecotourism attractions by traversing rivers using boats or called a mangrove tracing, where the river facilitates mangrove trees with a path to the river and sea or estuary.

Coastal waters of Banyuwangi Regency, East Java, Indonesia obtains water resources from residential areas, the fishing industry, the shipping industry in the surrounding area. This study aims to determine the influences of water quality on phytoplankton abundance, seen from differences characteristics of coastal waters of Banyuwangi. The research method is descriptive. Data collection technique is observation, with the required data including water quality parameters (Sn, PO4, Total Organic Matter, NO3, Cu Copper, DO, Water Temperature, Pb, Salinity, Alkalinity, pH, and NH4) and phytoplankton. The analysis used plankton abundance analysis calculated using the Lachlan modification formula (1982), and multiple regression analysis. The analysis result showed that the type of phytoplankton found was green algae Chlorella type and blue-green algae Oscillatoria type. The abundance of phytoplankton in the coastal area of Banyuwangi is around 12.5 - 513.75 ind/L, where it is included in the level of eutrophic phytoplankton abundance, which waters in a high fertility. There is an influence between water quality on the abundance of phytoplankton on the coast of Wongsorejo, Banyuwangi and Blimbingsari Districts. Whereas in Lampon (Pesanggaran subdistrict), water quality does not affect the abundance of phytoplankton.

Tujuan penelitian ini adalah mengkaji Pantai Cemara, Kabupaten Banyuwangi, Jawa Timur dalam pengembangan Kawasan Ekowisata yang bertanggung jawab dan berkelanjutan. Pendekatan yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah pendekatan deskriptif analitik dengan metode survei. Dari hasil penelitian, terdapat beberapa jenis mangrove, yaitu bakau (Rhizophora mucronata), perepat/ pidada putih/ bogem (Sonneratia alba), dan api-api (Avicennia alba). Asosiasi mangrove sebanyak 3 jenis, yaitu Deruju/ Jeruju (Acanthus ilicifolius L.), Keranji/ Dadap Laut (Clerodendron inerme, dan Kambingan (Derris trifoliata). Selain itu, terdapat dua spesies dari tujuh spesies yang memiliki status dilindungi, yaitu Penyu Hijau (Chelonia mydas) dan Penyu Lekang (Lepidochelys olivacea). Nilai NDVI minimum-0.53 dan maksimum 0.95 yang terdapat pada lokasi penelitian. Nilai parameter fisika dan kimia di Pantai Cemara pun memiliki indikator yang baik sesuai dengan baku mutu. Nilai rat-rata suhu sebesar 28,8 o C, pH sebesar 5,1, oksigen terlarut sebesar 5,5 mg/L, dan amonia sebesar 0,07 mg/L. Parameter tersebut diharapkan dapat menunjang dan memberikan indikator baik dalam mengembangkan sektor ekowisata yang berporoskan antara kawasan konservasi penyu, mangrove, serta pariwisata.
