Abstract

Directly or indirectly, goods and services available in natural ecosystems will contribute to human welfare. The human ability to calculate the economic value of ecosystem goods and services is an important thing to do for integrated environmental decision making, sustainable business practices, and land use planning with its geographical scale, and the level of local-social wisdom. For this reason, a comprehensive review and study are needed by analyzing mangrove ecosystem services. Discussions with in-depth descriptive methods are applied to evaluate mangrove ecosystem services specifically, and focus methods and techniques are used for data analysis, and further to understand their potential and disadvantages.

Highlights

  • Mangroves are intertidal ecosystems that are located along tropical and subtropical coasts

  • Segara Anakan Lagoon has three rivers that supply high sediment, namely; Citanduy River, Cibeureum River, and Cikonde River, which have an impact on increasing the expansion of the characteristics of mangroves in Segara Anakan Lagoon and its surroundings

  • This condition is in accordance with the opinion of Setyawan (2010) which states that geologically, the Segara Anakan lagoon area tends to decrease due to sedimentation and mangrove expansion

Summary

Introduction

Mangroves are intertidal ecosystems that are located along tropical and subtropical coasts. Mangrove swamps supply food needs for ecosystems such as sediment traps with various nutrients absorbed and prevent erosion on shorelines (Jusoff, 2013). Mangrove forests supply various types of raw materials, such as food, fuelwood, wood, and tannins (De Groot et al 2002). It is noted, among others, the types of fish, shrimp, and crabs using mangrove ecosystems as ground nurseries and feeding ground (Robertson & Duke, 1987; Beck et al 2001). The indication of global data records mangrove forests has dropped dramatically (Giri et al 2008). Observation findings from 1980, had a 25% decline in mangrove forests (FAO 2007). The main contributors are a land conversion for shrimp ponds, illegal logging, freshwater pollution, and utilization (Barbier et al 2011)
