“…Ekosistem hutan mangrove merupakan habitat berbagai jenis mikroorganisme yang toleran terhadap keadaan lingkungan ekstrim (Retnowati et al, 2017), yang berperan dalam melestarikan keanekaragaman hayati (Dharmawan et al, 2016). Ekosistem mangrove dihuni oleh berbagai jenis biota baik hidup di perairan atau dari darat ke arah laut (Basyuni et al, 2018), hal ini disebakan karena ekosistem mangrove termasuk tipe ekosistem yang tidak terpengaruh oleh iklim, tetapi faktor lingkungan yang sangat dominan dalam pembentukan ekosistem.…”

ABSTRAKEkosistem hutan mangrove merupakan habitat berbagai jenis mikroorganisme, tetapi saat ini hutan mangrove mengalami gangguan dalam hal kualitas lingkungan. Salah satu faktor lingkungan yang sangat berpengaruh bagi pertumbuhan mangrove adalah kondisi salinitas. Salinitas merupakan faktor penting dalam pertumbuhan, daya tahan dan zonasi spesies mangrove. Tujuan dari penelitian ini untuk mengetahui keragaman kondisi salinitas pada lingkungan tempat tumbuh mangrove di teluk kupang Nusa Tenggara Timur. Penelitian ini dilakukan di Teluk Kupang Nusa Tenggara Timur. Metode yang digunakan adalah metode systematic sampling yang di letakan secara sistematis di kawasan hutan mangrove. Untuk pengukuran salinitas mengunakan metode Transect Line Plot. Petak ukur dibuat tegak lurus garis pantai, dengan ukuran 10 m x 10 m, dan Jarak antar jalur 50 meter. Hasil penelitian pengukuran salintas hutan mangrove pada pesisir pantai kota Kupang menunjukan nilai salinitas 10‰-26,33%, sedangkan kondisi salinitas hutan mangrove di pesisir pantai kabupaten Kupang 10‰-42,33‰. Berdasaarkan kondisi salinitas pada hutan mangrove yang berada disepanjang pesisir pantai teluk Kupang menunjukan kondisi lingkungan yang mendukung pertumbuhan tanaman mangrove walaupun pada beberapa tempat menunjukan nilai salinitas yang tinggi. Kondisi salinitas ini merupakan perumusan penentuan kondisi lingkungan ekologis hutan mangrove di pesisir pantai teluk kupang sebagai suatu upaya untuk mendukung berbagi kegiatan pengelolaan hutan mangrove. ABSTRACTThe mangrove forest ecosystem is a habitat for various types of microorganisms, but now the mangrove forest is experiencing disruption in the terms of environmental quality. One of the environmental factors which is very influential for mangrove growth is the salinity condition. Salinity is an important factor in the growth, endurance and zoning of mangrove species. The purpose of this study was to determine the diversity of salinity conditions in the environment where mangroves grow in Kupang Bay, East Nusa Tenggara. This research was conducted in Kupang Bay, East Nusa Tenggara. The method used is a systematic sampling method that is systematically placed in the mangrove forest area. For measuring salinity using the Transect Line Plot method. Measuring plots are made perpendicular to the coastline, in the size of 10 m x 10 m, and the distance between lines is 50 meters. The results of the study of mangrove forest salinity measurements in the coastal city of Kupang showed a salinity value of 10 ‰ -26.33%, while the condition of the salinity of mangrove forests on the coast of Kupang regency was 10 42 -42.33 ‰. Based on the salinity conditions in mangrove forests located along the Kupang bay coastline, environmental conditions that support the growth of mangrove plants even though in some places they show high salinity values. This salinity condition is the formulation of the determination of the ecological environmental conditions of mangrove forests on the kupang bay coast as an effort to support the various of...

“…The local community ignored the regulation that forbids the opening of brackish water ponds in this area. Conflicts arose between villagers who cleared mangrove forest for the ponds and officers who were safeguarding the ecological functions of the trees that provide nutrients to the lagoon (Dharmawan et al 2016).…”

The success of scientific knowledge transfer depends on if the decision maker can transform the scientific advice into a policy that can be accepted by all involved actors. We use a science-policy interactions model called research-integration-utilization to observe the process of scientific knowledge transfer in the case of endangered mangroves in Segara Anakan, Indonesia. Scientific knowledge is produced within the scientific system (research), science-based solutions to problems are practically utilized by political actors (utilization), and important links between research and utilization must be made (integration). We looked for empirical evidence to test hypotheses about the research-integration-utilization model based on document analysis and expert interviews. Our study finds that the failures in knowledge transfer are caused by the inappropriate use of scientific findings. The district government is expected by presidential decree to only used scientifically sound recommendations as a prerequisite for designing the regulation. However, the district government prefers to implement their own solutions because they believe that they understand the solutions better than the researcher. In the process of integration, the researcher cannot be involved, since the selection of scientific recommendations here fully depends on the interests of the district government as the powerful ally.

“…Mangrove forests are adapted to tropical and subtropical climates and provide important ecological services such as food provision, flood control, stabilization of coastlines and protection against extreme weather events like cyclones and tsunamis (Tri et al ., ; Sandilyan & Kathiresan, ). Many studies warn, however, that mangrove ecosystems are under severe pressure, despite their ecological and socio‐economic significance (Giri et al , 2015; Sandilyan & Kathiresan, ; Dharmawan et al, ).

In the coastal area of the Vietnamese Mekong Delta, much of the mangrove forest has been cut to make space for expansion of industry and aquaculture. Export‐oriented shrimp farming is a particularly fast‐growing business. Nonetheless, the importance of tropical mangrove forest ecosystems for coastal protection and marine biodiversity is widely recognized. The Vietnamese government, supported by non‐governmental organizations and donors, has sought to restore mangrove forest. To this end, the government has promoted mixed or integrated mangrove‐shrimp systems in which farmers maintain at least 40 per cent of their area under mangrove cover. Since 2012, mangrove reforestation, care and protection has benefited from local authority stimulus as well. Multiple studies have examined the condition of the mangrove forest in Ben Tre and other coastal provinces of the Mekong Delta. However, no research has investigated the role of social dynamics in farmers’ willingness to shift to, or maintain, integrated mangrove‐shrimp systems. Specifically, the influence of information, group dynamics and social learning on farmer decision‐making is poorly understood and, indeed, hardly investigated in Vietnam. This article reports on a study of social processes in three communes in Binh Dai District, Ben Tre Province, Vietnam. We conducted 42 semi‐structured interviews (with 34 farmers and eight local officials) and used secondary data. Our preliminary findings indicate that social dynamics in these communes were issue‐driven and played an important role in farmers’ decisions to adopt, or convert to, the integrated mangrove‐shrimp farming system. Television, radio, the internet, books, neighbours and training courses all had some influence in farmer decision‐making processes. However, our findings suggest that the accessibility, usefulness, relevance and approach of these communication methods must be improved if they are to adequately inform and support local farmers.
