“…This mangrove forest is close to the popular Logending Beach, giving Ayah Mangrove Forest the potential to be developed as an ecotourism attraction. A previous study documented various species in Ayah Mangrove Forest, including Rhizophora mucronata, Sonneratia caseolaris, Avicenna marina, Rhizophora apiculata, Acanthus ebracteatus, Acrostichum aureum, Bruguilera gymnorrhiza, and Nypa fruticans (Murniasih et al 2022). Among such species, R. mucronata dominated the vegetation community due to its rapid regeneration, giving the species a large forest cover which is essential in protecting the coastal area in Ayah Beach.…”

Abstract. Afifah RN, Putri A, Hartanti AN, Negari SIT, Pratama MSR, Zuaini PAK, Al Madani AR, Muryanto BS, Muhammad F, Astikasari L, Indriyani S, Kurniawati I, Sunarto, Kusumaningrum L, Budiharta S, Flores AB, Setyawan AD. 2023. Ecotourism development as a community-based conservation effort in Ayah Mangrove Forest, Kebumen, Central Java, Indonesia. Asian J For 7: 37-44. The mangrove ecosystem is a transition ecosystem between terrestrial and marine zones affected by tidal waves, water inundation, and high saline water and soil. Mangrove forest plays an important role in physical, ecological and socio-economic aspects. One potential function of mangrove forests from the socio-economic aspect is ecotourism. Ayah Mangrove Forest in Ayah Village, Kebumen District, Central Java Province, Indonesia, has the potential to be developed as a mangrove-based ecotourism area that combines the objective of income generation and mangrove conservation. This research was conducted to examine the conservation and ecotourism efforts by the people of Ayah Village and to assess the local community's perception of the development of mangrove-based ecotourism. The research was conducted in November 2022. Primary data were collected using field observation and interviews with 100 respondents aged 17-60 years using the snowball sampling method, while secondary data were collected using a literature review. The results showed that efforts to protect the Ayah Mangrove Forest area included establishing zones for protection, rehabilitation, and utilization of the mangrove forest. There are also mangrove rehabilitation efforts that involve the community in the form of the establishment of nurseries, mangrove planting, and maintenance of planted seedlings. The local community also carry out garbage cleaning program and public outreach. Besides the conservation aspect, Ayah Mangrove Forest is also utilized for ecotourism objects that generate income for the local community by selling tickets, boats, foods, beverages and souvenirs, tour guides, and parking attendants. Most of the local community has good perceptions and agreed on the development of Ayah Mangrove Forest as an ecotourism area. They are willing to be involved in ecotourism planning and development activities. The community agreed to participate in tour guide activities, selling souvenirs, providing homestays, and participating in ecotourism counseling. Most of the local community has also agreed to form a mangrove conservation community to maintain the sustainability of mangrove forest ecotourism. Nonetheless, support from the government is required, especially in the promotion and rehabilitation programs in the ecotourism development of Ayah Mangrove Forest.

“…The Brackish water culture is divided into two different systems, monoculture and polyculture (Cochard, 2017;Hu et al, 2020;Zhu et al, 2022;Jansen et al, 2023). Additionally, brackish water aquaculture can be carried out in areas with abundant natural food sources, such as estuaries and mangrove ecosystems (Duncan et al, 2016;Hilmi et al, 2021b, a;Soedibya et al, 2021;Murniasih et al, 2022). The development of a brackish water polyculture system enhances fish productivity per unit area and maintain water quality (Ekasari et al, 2015;Rose et al, 2015).…”

“…A brackish water polyculture is an aquaculture system between two or more fish species or aquatic organisms, such as milkfish and prawn or shrimp polyculture (Soedibya 2013;Rachmawati and Samidjan 2014;Nuryanto et al, 2017;Soedibya et al, 2017). Some research reported polyculture between Milkfish and Nile Tilapia (Soedibya, 2013;Mutia et al, 2018;Muyot et al, 2018), while others described a polyculture between prawn or shrimp and Nile Tilapia in brackish water (Mutia et al, 2018;Prabu et al, 2019;Hilmi et al, 2021bHilmi et al, , 2022Murniasih et al, 2022).…”

Saline Nile Tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus (Linnaeus, 1758) and Milkfish, Chanos chanos (Forskal, 1775) polyculture systems in brackish water culture require natural food to sustain their brackish water fish production. Brackish water culture of Saline Nile Tilapia is developed to improve the productivity of abandoned shrimp or crab pond. At present, there are no studies examining the potential of natural food to improve the productivity of these polyculture systems in the brackish water pond located in Tritih Kulon Village, Cilacap, Central Java. To assess the availability of this food source, the diversity and abundance of plankton in the water body were evaluated through analysis. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze plankton diversity in the water body and the relationship between plankton abundance as a natural feed and saline Nile Tilapia productivity in the brackish water polyculture. Phytoplankton and zooplankton were identified according the plankton characteristic available in the references. The results showed that 21 planktons, comprising 12 phytoplankton species and 9 zooplankton groups, were identified. In spite of low plankton diversity, however, this study proved that the plankton abundance positively supported Saline Nile tilapia productivity in the polyculture system with milkfish, as indicated by low mortality (17,5 ±8,59 %; R2= 0.825-0.908), absolute high weight gain (208.2 ± 22,5 gr; R2= 0.881-0.874), and high specific growth (2,28 ± 0.77 % day-1; R2= 0.87-0.91). The productivity of Saline Nile Tilapia in brackish water polyculture with milkfish is supported by the availability of natural food, with 5.95 to 18.50% of their gut content obtained from plankton.

The local ecosystem potentiality is pressurized by the getting up heavy metal concentrations, especially in Kampung Kuantan Fireflies Park. This mangrove forest park, which is dominated by Sonneratia caseolaris, is a well-known place to visit for people who like nature in Kuala Selangor Peninsular Malaysia. However, the investigations on heavy metal concentration in mangrove soils under S. caseolaris are still limited. This study aims to find out the concentration of heavy metal in mangrove soil under S. caseolaris. The soil samples were taken from under S. caseolaris trees zone. Five plots were built up on mangrove soils through the Selangor River. Five sub-plots, each measuring 2 m ´ 2 m, were made for sample collection in each plot. The heavy metal contents and the geo-accumulation index (I-geo) were evaluated. As the results, the concentration of heavy metals on soils such as zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), lead (Pb), chromium (Cr), and cadmium (Cd) under the S. caseolaris trees of 240.24 mg/kg, 6.89 mg/kg, 25.46 mg/kg, 34.88 mg/kg, and 0.14 mg/kg, respectively. The I-geo ratio indicated that the soils have low heavy metal deposits, with Cd having the lowest concentration and Zn having the highest. There is a significant difference between Zn and Cr concentrations on the soils in five plots, but there are no significant differences for Cu, Pb, and Cd. In general, the heavy metal contents throughout the sampling area were considered not polluted, since the amount of trace elements in the soil was relatively low compared to the average limit.
