Abstract

Coastal ecosystems provide various ecosystem services in the form of natural resources, life support services, aesthetical values and comfort.The key ecosystems providing those services include estuaries, mangroves, coral reefs and seagrass beds.Some ecosystem services provided by the key coastal ecosystems function as producers, life supporters, wave absorbers, litter provider for detritus and decomposers, and carbon cycles regulator in the ecosystem. Though their roles are vital for Jakarta bay and its surrounding areas, ecosystem service aspect in Jakarta Bay is understudied. The previous limited studies focused mostly on economics valuation aspect and descriptive studies, ignoring the modeling and mapping aspects of the ecosystem services. InVEST (Integrated Valuation of Ecosystem Services and Tradeoffs) is a tool to map and model ecosystem services in an explicitly spatial representation.InVEST can be used to map and model changes in ecosystem servicess that will be affected by multi-scalechanges in the Jakarta Bay, particularlyland reclamation and what's so called as the Giant Sea Wall.The output generated through the spatial and temporal mapmodeling in inVESTcan account for ecosystem services in past, presentand future scenarios. In the context of various coastal development in Jakarta bay, the results of InVEST can be then be used asvaluableinput tocoastal management of Jakarta Bay, e.g. for mangrove management as a blue carbon ecosystem service provider.

Highlights

  • Coastal is a confluence between teresterial and ocean

  • Ecosystem services are the contributions of various interrelated ecological structures and functions.Coastal ecosystem services include estuarine, mangroves, coral reefs, seagrass beds and small islands, which are interconnected in providing ecosystem services as producers in the food chain, supporting organism such as nursery ground, feeding ground, and spawning ground

  • This modeling is used to map and model changes in ecosystem services with various planned change that will occur in Jakarta Bay, especially mangrove ecosystem modeling as a blue carbonproducing ecosystem service which is the goal of this research

Summary

Introduction

Coastal is a confluence between teresterial and ocean. Ecosystem service providers in the form of natural resources, life support services and comfort. The rapid development of coastal areas of Jakarta Bay is not accompanied by mapping efforts of ecosystem services in full based chronologically following the development of the region. Ecosystem service mapping efforts can be done through spatial modeling of Integrated Valuation Of Ecosystem Services And Tradeoffs (InVEST) This modeling is used to map and model changes in ecosystem services with various planned change that will occur in Jakarta Bay, especially mangrove ecosystem modeling as a blue carbonproducing ecosystem service which is the goal of this research. Benefits generally provide spatial and temporal information as inputs for regional development, to identify coastal ecosystem services mangroves as regulators of carbon cycle. The benefit of this study is that it can provide spatial and temporal information on coastal blue carbon ecosystem services as a basis for calculating compensation for development damage, knowing future ecosystem services that will be affected, input in coastal.
