Abstract
The Bagek Kembar mangrove ecotourism area, Sekotong, West Lombok has been designated as one of the mangrove essential ecosystem areas in West Nusa Tenggara. One of the ecological services of a mangrove ecosystem is carbon storage. Mangrove forests can store carbon four times higher than the world’s tropical rainforest. This study aimed to assess the amount of carbon stored in mangrove stands in the Bagek Kembar mangrove ecotourism area, Sekotong West Lombok. This study uses a random sampling method, which is the placement of random plots in each mangrove zoning. The mangrove zoning is divided based on the distance from the sea and the river starting from 50 meters, 100 meters, 150 meters, 200 meters, 250 meters, and 300 meters. In addition, the mangrove area was divided into two mangrove statuses, which are natural mangrove succession and rehabilitation, and 10% of the 5x5 meter observation plot sample was taken. So that there were 286 observation plots obtained. Calculation of mangrove biomass using allometric equations. The results of the estimation study of carbon deposits on mangrove stand biomass in the Bagek Kembar Mangrove Ecotourism area of a average of 6 zonings amounted to 10,738.49 kg/ha2.
