Sustainable Management Modeling of Mangrove Ecosystem to Support the Local Economy in Small Islands, South Sulawesi Indonesia

Abstract

The model starts with the formation of groups of fishermen/farmers /mangroves/women. The group produces something from mangrove forest that comes from creativity and ability to create something new as well as utilizing their members based on their abilities. After the formation of productive, creative and innovative groups of fishermen/ farmers / mangroves, the values are assessed and provided some benefits. Before going to the next stage, reflection on the groups formed is under the goals and objectives of the group formation. After reflection, it conducts a study of the suitability of the business sector that is carried out in the mangrove forest area. The suitability of the business sector must be based on environmentally friendly systems and mangrove conservation. It is called cultivation with the silvofishery system (integrating shrimp/fish cultivation with mangroves) and the use of environmentally friendly fishing tools. The next step is to formulate academic methods, then lay down the urgency and management paradigm of putting something important and the main patterns and models in the management of mangrove forests. After that phase, fixing management problems of mangrove forest. Mangrove forest management involves local communities and other stakeholders meanwhile the government, in this case, acting as a motivator and facilitator because of its understanding of the A. formosa growth and dynamics in the tropical coral reef ecosystems.
