“…This involves setting up a system to collect, analyse, and report data on the health and status of mangrove ecosystems from local through regional to national levels [318]. This requires the collaboration of different stakeholders, including scientists, environmental consultants, metrologists, and government agencies [319]. The impacts of climate change vary in time and space, making it hard to predict the actual responses of mangroves to climate change [320].…”

Mangroves stand out as one of the most diverse and biologically significant natural systems in the world. Playing critical roles in maintaining the health and productivity of coastal ecosystems, mangroves provide a range of services and functions, including habitat for local fauna and flora, food and other goods, carbon sequestration, and protection from natural disasters such as storm surges and coastal erosion. It is also evident that mangroves face several threats, which have already led to the gradual depletion of mangrove areas worldwide. Based on the analysis of current and related historical literature and data, this review summarises mangrove functions and the threats and challenges associated with mangrove management practices. Our findings suggest that coastal development, expanded aquaculture, deforestation, climate change, and other associated implications such as eutrophication, diseases, and pollution are the major factors posing threats to mangrove sustainability. We also highlight the various challenges, such as land use conflict, a lack of stringent regulatory actions, inadequate policy and government frameworks, and a lack of community awareness, that underlie ineffective mangrove management. The implementation of inclusive and coordinated approaches involving stakeholders from different backgrounds and interests, governmental and non-governmental organisations, and academia is essential for mangrove restoration and sustainable mangrove management by adapting mitigation strategies.

“…The increase in population in Tangerang Regency forces the use of mangrove ecosystem areas in the level of exploitation, leading to commercial industries without paying attention to the environmental carrying capacity of the ecosystem. The rapidly increasing population will have implications for high pressure on space utilization, often accompanied by a decrease in the quality and quantity of mangrove ecosystem areas [12], [32]. The relatively fast growth of the Tangerang Regency has also made the region undergo rapid physical, social, and economic changes.…”

A conceptual model is needed to determine the interaction of ecological and social systems in the governance of a sustainable mangrove ecosystem. The SES approach can be used to analyze the management of mangrove ecosystem areas on the interaction or connectivity of functional system relationships. This research analyzes the social-ecological system (SES) model in managing mangrove ecosystem areas in Tangerang Regency. This research is a descriptive case study, where data collection is carried out through surveys, field observations, and literature studies. Analysis of SES problems with the DPSIR (Driving-force, Pressure, State, Impact, and Response) approach shows that the issues of governance of mangrove ecosystems in Tangerang Regency are driven by the mangrove ecosystem services themselves, population increase, space utilization, economic activities, and the welfare level and knowledge of sustainable ecosystem management. These driving factors cause pressure on the mangrove ecosystem due to the conversion of land functions and activities of ecosystem utilization, causing environmental degradation conditions and increasingly intensive use of mangrove ecosystems. These conditions cause impacts on the socio-ecological system, namely spatial use conflicts, deforestation, environmental pollution, the decline in ecosystem functions, abrasion and accretion, tidal flooding, and social conflicts. These impacts can be suppressed, mitigated, improved, and minimized through mangrove ecosystem governance policies, namely rehabilitation and restoration, ecotourism development, coastal border conservation, silvofishery ponds, coastal community development movement programs, increased public education, and cooperative management based.
