“…Aquaculture has been the most important human activity leading to mangrove loss globally (Thomas et al 2017), particularly driving mangrove change in Southeast Asia and Latin America (Walters et al 2008). In sub-Saharan Africa, harvesting for fuelwood and charcoal production are growing threats (Feka and Ajonina 2011;UNEP 2014;Feka 2015).…”

Informal small-scale mangrove wood harvesting has received limited attention, though it is a widespread threat to mangroves in many parts of the tropics. We investigated wood use and the impacts of harvesting on mangrove forests in the Bay of Assassins in southwest Madagascar. We measured forest structure, composition, and harvesting across 60 vegetation plots and investigated human uses of the mangroves through Rapid Rural Appraisal techniques. We found that unlike other mangroves in the region, those in the Bay of Assassins are dominated by Ceriops tagal. Tree harvesting rates are high, with a mean of 28.7% (SD 19.4) of trees harvested per plot. This is similar to heavily harvested mangroves in other parts of the tropics. A comparison of tree versus sapling importance of the different mangrove tree species indicates that the composition of the mangrove forest is changing, with C. tagal becoming more important. Livelihood activities drive the harvesting of certain species and size classes. Mangrove wood is used mainly for the construction of traditional housing and fencing. There are also emerging uses of mangrove wood, including seaweed (Kappaphycus alvarezii) aquaculture and the production of 'sokay', a lime render made by burning sea shells in mangrove wood kilns and used to improve the durability of houses. Small-scale selective harvesting of mangrove wood is important for local livelihoods but may have wide-ranging impacts on forest composition and structure. Demand for mangrove wood has grown in relation to new commodity chains for marine products, demonstrating the need for integrated landscape management that considers wetland, terrestrial and marine resources together.

“…Peraturan perundangan dan kebijakan yang tidak tepat dan tidak efektif dapat berakibat pada kegagalan dalam pengelolaan mangrove lestari seperti yang terjadi di Afrika Barat (Feka, 2015). Tidak jelasnya aturan mengenai lembaga yang menangani pengelolaan mangrove menyebabkan banyaknya lembaga yang terlibat akan tetapi perencanaannya tidak terkoordinasi.…”

“…Tidak jelasnya aturan mengenai lembaga yang menangani pengelolaan mangrove menyebabkan banyaknya lembaga yang terlibat akan tetapi perencanaannya tidak terkoordinasi. Hal ini berakibat pada kurangnya pertimbangan mengenai hutan mangrove dalam keputusankeputusan pengelolaaan (Feka, 2015). Hutan Tabel 4.…”

“…Alternative strategies of SWOT matrix mangrove perlu diatur oleh peraturan dan kebijakan khusus yang mempertimbangkan aspek sosial, ekonomi, dan ekologi ekosistem mangrove. Peraturan kebijakan yang diterapkan harus mendorong insentif ekonomi yang mempromosikan pemangku kepentingan terkait untuk melindungi dan mengelola ekosistem mangrove (Feka, 2015). Pada kasus Tahura Ngurah Rai, sudah ada lembaga khusus yang menangani yaitu UPTD Tahura Ngurah Rai, akan tetapi masih diperlukan penguatan kelembagaan berupa peningkatan kapasitas sumber daya manusia (SDM) seperti kemampuan entrepreneurship dan berbahasa asing.…”

Pressures from various interests towards Ngurah Rai Grand Forest Park have potential to trigger of damage on mangrove ecosystem. The study aims to identify the utilization of mangroves at Ngurah Rai Grand Forest ABSTRAKAdanya tekanan dari berbagai kepentingan terhadap kawasan Tahura Ngurah Rai berpotensi menjadi penyebab kerusakan tanaman mangrove yang menyebabkan perubahan ekosistem. Penelitian ini bertujuan: mengidentifikasi pemanfaatan mangrove oleh masyarakat; mengidentifikasi faktor internal dan eksternal dalam pengelolaan mangrove; dan menentukan strategi pengelolaan mangrove. Analisis SWOT digunakan dalam penelitian ini. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa dua faktor internal tertinggi yang menjadi kekuatan pengelolaan mangrove di Bali adalah lokasi yang strategis dan merupakan ekosistem mangrove terbesar di Bali. Sedangkan faktor internal yang menjadi kelemahan adalah banyaknya sampah dan lumpur serta adanya sedimentasi di Tahura bagian hilir. Faktor-faktor eksternal yang menjadi peluang pengelolaan mangrove yaitu wisatawan yang terus meningkat dan lokasi yang dekat dengan objek wisata lain. Sedangkan yang menjadi ancaman pengelolaan adalah adanya kepentingan pihak-pihak tertentu yang cenderung mengurangi keberadaan dan kelestarian hutan mangrove, pembuangan sampah di daerah hulu yang masih terjadi, dan pembangunan infrastruktur di sekitar. Lima strategi pengelolaan mangrove di Bali adalah implementasi dan penegakan aturan yang jelas, terkait zonasi dan regulasi yang menyertainya; pengelolaan sampah dan pengendalian pencemaran; penyuluhan dan pendidikan lingkungan terhadap masyarakat; perencanaan pembangunan strategis yang mempertimbangkan daya dukung dan daya tampung mangrove; pengembangan pariwisata yang melibatkan masyarakat dan kearifan lokal.

“…In West Africa, a 35% decline in overall mangrove coverage was observed by remote sensing between 1986 and 2010 (Carney et al 2014). In western central Africa, mangrove areas are very important for fisheries and as a source of timber and fuelwood (Feka 2015, Feka andAjonina 2011).…”
