“…Mangrove forests protect coastlines from storms, waves, tides, and sea intrusion [2]. Mangrove forests serve as an additional "bioshield" against harsh coastal protection infrastructure, making hybrid coastal protection plans more popular and environmentally friendly [3] [4].…”

Mangrove forests are an important natural resource in providing ecosystem and ecological services as a nature-based solution for coastal protection, including on Lepar Island. This research aims to analyze the composition of mangrove species and the mangrove health index on Lepar Island. The field data collection method uses a systematic sampling method. Analysis of mangrove community structure uses the Shannon-Weiner index, while analysis of mangrove density and canopy cover uses the hemispherical photography method. The research results show 11 species from 5 mangrove families are found on Lepar Island. The Importance Value Index at the four stations varied sequentially, namely Sonneratia alba (158.84%), Bruguiera gymnorrhiza (202.88%), Ceriops tagal (110.42%), and Rhizophora apiculata (300%). Density is generally in the sparse category, and canopy cover is in the good category. The mangrove health index at station 1 (51.83%) is in the medium category, while other stations show the MHI value of <33.33% or in the poor category. Mangroves have some benefits for humans and the surrounding ecosystem, such as preventing ecosystem degradation and climate change. Therefore, mangroves need to be preserved and monitored.

“…The method presented herein is the integration of mangroves with floating barges for coastal protection, which is a similar type of methodology used in the integration of mangroves with fixed coastal structures. Yuanita et al conducted an experimental investigation on combining mangroves as the main natural coastal protection structure and geotextile geobag dikes as a temporary fixed structure for coastal protection (Figure 1) [35]. Experiments were conducted on a 1:10 model scale in a wave flume to study the effect of geo-bag dike mangrove integration.…”

Mangroves and moored barges are used individually for coastal protection and beach restoration. This conceptual paper discusses about the integration of mangroves with moored floating barges for coastal protection. The concept involves towing of a barge to a particular location, mooring it to the seafloor and planting mangroves along the shore or beach. The barges will be unmoored and towed away once the mangroves attain certain growth and are well rooted in the soil. Mangroves can protect the beach from incoming waves using their roots and branches. The incoming waves can be reduced by 50% to 99% using mangroves of 500 m width. Mangroves have a life span of 20–100 years, and they do not need any yearly maintenance as do any other conventional coastal protection measures. Mangroves are considered as soft coastal protection structures and are environmentally friendly. Mangroves will also improve the aesthetic appearance of the beach. This paper discusses about some of the research methodologies for the development of the barge-assisted mangroves coastal protection method. The dimensions of the barge, gap width between the moored barges and the environmental condition at the location determines the performance of the barge-assisted mangroves coastal protection method. The gap width between the barges, draft of the barge and breadth of the barge influence the resonant frequency of the fluid between the barges. The shielding effect of the floating barges can be used for other applications, such as berthing of ships and growing living shorelines using oysters, rocks, sand, plants, coir, etc. for coastal protection.
