“…Setelah diklasifikasikan berdasarkan Departemen Kehutanan (2005) kerusakan ekosistem mangrove biasanya terjadi cenderung akibat dari kebutuhan ekonomi masyarakat lokal yang semakin meningkat. Menurut Perum Perhutani (1994), kerusakan dari ekosistem mangrove dapat terjadi karena keinginan masyarakat membuat pertambakan karena dirasa lebih menguntungkan, rendahnya pengetahuan masyarakat akan fungsi mangrove, dan kebutuhan kayu bakar untuk memasak atau bahan bangunan (Nyangoko et al, 2021). Kebutuhan untuk rumahtangga dan bahan bangunan terletak pada Desa Rawagempol Kulon, yang mana selalu penurunan pada klasifikasi lebat setiap tahunnya.…”

Abstrak. Pemantauan luasan dan kerapatan mangrove dapat berguna untuk keberlanjutan pemanfaatan ekosistem mangrove. Salah satu ekosistem mangrove yang telah dimanfaatkan berada di Kecamatan Cilamaya Wetan berupa peresmian objek wisata Pusat Bahari Tangkolak (PBT). Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui dan juga menentukan luasan serta kerapatan ekosistem mangrove. Metode yang digunakan pada penelitian ini yaitu NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) menggunakan data perekaman citra satelit PlanetScope sensor Dove-R dengan cara dijitasi on screen, observasi, dan diskusi di lapangan. Analisis yang digunakan spasial, kuantitatif dan deskriptif untuk menjelaskan luasan dan kerapatan mangrove. Luas mangrove tahun 2017-2019 berturut-turut sebesar 77,40 Ha, 81,24 Ha, dan 50,91 Ha dengan dominasi kerapatan klasifikasi lebat setiap tahunnya. Penurunan luasan dan kerapatan mangrove terjadi karena adanya kegiatan wisata dan perubahan fungsi lahan ekosistem mangrove menjadi tambak ikan, udang, garam, dan penebangan pohon dalam pemenuhan kebutuhan rumahtangga.Abstract. Monitoring the area and density of mangroves can be useful for the sustainable use of mangrove ecosystems. One of the mangrove ecosystems that have been utilized is in the District of Cilamaya Wetan in the form of the inauguration of the Tangkolak Marine Center (PBT) tourist attraction. The purpose of this study was to determine and also determine the extent and density of the mangrove ecosystem. The method used in this research is NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) using PlanetScope sensor Dove-R satellite image recording data by digitizing on screen, observation, and discussion in the field. The analysis used was spatial, quantitative and descriptive to explain the extent and density of mangroves. The area of mangroves in 2017-2019 was 77.40 Ha, 81.24 Ha, and 50.91 Ha, respectively, with the dominance of the dense category of density every year. The decrease in the area and density of mangroves occurs due to tourism activities and changes in the function of mangrove ecosystem land into fish, shrimp, salt ponds, and tree cutting to fulfill household needs.

“…These begin with British colonial afforestation programs and the gazetting of forest reserves by both the British and post-revolutionary governments in the 1960s (Chachage 2000). Following 50 more years of initiatives driven by a number of Scandinavian countries, in 2010 the Reduced Emissions from Deforestation and Land Degradation program (REDD+) identified 18 wards (shehia) in Pemba as appropriate for piloting their payments for ecosystem services conservation framework (Burgess et al 2010;RGZ 1996;Nations 1992). The REDD+ project intended to pay communities to forego harvesting fuelwood and timber and cease farm expansion inside of designated areas in each of the 18 selected shehia.…”

“…However, it is still unclear how individuals perceptions' of environmental change affect their choices to limit resource use, restore ecosystems, or otherwise change their behaviors (Paloniemi et al 2018). In particular, as pointed out by Meyfroidt (2013), few studies have linked individual perceptions of threats and change in natural resources with observed conservation behaviors and preferences (although see Nyangoko et al 2022). Further, a recent systematic review of 128 studies of voluntary adoption of conservation behaviors showed a dearth of research on the subject in non-Western populations (Thomas-Walters et al 2022).…”

Approximately two billion people — a quarter of the earth's population — directly harvest forest products to meet their daily needs. These individuals disproportionately experience the impacts of increasing climatic variability and global biodiversity loss, and must disproportionately alter their behaviors in response to these impacts. Much of the increasingly ambitious global conservation agenda relies on voluntary uptake of conservation behaviors in such populations. Thus, it is critical to understand how individuals in these communities perceive environmental change and use conservation practices as a tool to protect their well-being. To date however, there have been no quantitative studies of how individual perceptions of forest change and its causes shape real-world conservation behaviors in forest dependent populations. Here we use a novel participatory mapping activity to elicit spatially explicit perceptions of forest change and its drivers across 43 mangrove-dependent communities in Pemba, Tanzania. We show that perceptions of mangrove decline drive individuals to propose stricter limits on fuelwood harvests from community forests only if they believe that the resultant gains in mangrove cover will not be stolen by outsiders. Conversely, individuals who believe their community mangrove forests are at high risk of theft actually decrease their support for forest conservation in response to perceived forest decline. High rates of inter-group competition and mangrove loss are thus driving a 'race to the bottom' phenomenon in community forests in this system. This finding demonstrates a mechanism by which increasing environmental decline may cause communities to forgo conservation practices, rather than adopt them, as is often assumed in much community-based conservation planning. However, we also show that when effective boundaries are present, individuals are willing to limit their own harvests to stem such perceived decline.

“…In relation, mangroves ecological resources form a vast array from food (59.7%), fuel (51.9%), and fishing materials and construction supplies (44.8%). Recognition that mangroves deliver one or all of these advantages was reported in numerous studies [29,30,31,32,33]. Among the stated benefits of this ecosystem, locals around the world are known to understand its importance and its impact on their livelihood [34,35].…”

Mangroves are essential components of the coastal biome and have an extremely productive ecosystem. It provides benefits for both the environment and humans. Valuation of the diversity and species composition plays a crucial role in the conservation and protection. This study aimed to assess the composition of mangroves and mangrove associates in Barangay Ata-Atahon, Nasipit, Agusan del Norte, Philippines. Three sampling stations were established with a 50-meter interval in every station. Transect lines of 50 meters were laid perpendicular to the shoreline. The results show that 19 species of mangroves and 5 mangrove associates were recorded. Ceriops decandra was found to be the dominant species with 303 individuals and constituting 36% of the entire mangroves population. While Camptostemon philippinensis, Rhizophora apiculata, Rhizophora mucronata had the lowest number of individuals and made up a combination of 5%. In mangrove associates, Avicennia rumphiana made up 47% of the population and was followed by Avicennia marina (40%). This implied that the study area is less diverse based on the observed species when compared to the 46-mangrove species found in the Philippines alone. Necessarily, reforestation and conservation efforts must be attained to fill the gaps between the community and mangrove sustainability. Thus, determining the species diversity and composition measures ecological status. Mitigations and ecological management must be enacted by the locality to further conserve the mangrove ecosystem.
