Abstract

Mollusca is the second largest phylum of invertebrate animals that has high adaptability. One of Mollusca's habitats is the mangrove ecosystem in Baitussalam District, Aceh Besar. There were very little data regarding the type and diversity of Mollusca in the mangrove ecosystem area of Baitussalam Subdistrict, Aceh Besar, after the tsunami in 2004.

The results of the study revealed that there are 29 types of Mollusca consisting of Gastropods and Bivalves. The output is in the form of a national standard textbook that can be used as a reference for supporting biodiversity learning. The book feasibility test obtained a total score of 95.6%. The conclusion is that there are 29 types of Mollusca and the output is a national standard textbook that are very feasible to be recommended as a supporting reference for biodiversity material.
