Abstract
Various rehabilitation and restoration of mangrove forests have been done, but there have not been any significant results. The main reason for the various failures in this activity is that the effort is not based on scientific data such as the suitability of the physicochemical conditions of mangrove habitats along the beach coast of Sulamo District. The purpose of this research is to analyze the condition of salinity, the thickness of mud, and the beach slope of the selected mangrove locations Oeteta, Pariti, Beringin, and Pitai beaches. The salinity conditions show variations, ranging from 19 ppm to 42.33 ppm. The thickness of the mud shows the highest value at 79.11 cm and the slope of mangrove coastal 1–4%. This research shows that the condition of the mangrove ecosystem in the coastal district of Sulamo is still suitable for mangrove growth. This research provides a basic overview of mangrove ecosystem conditions located on the beach coast of the Sulamo district as the basis for planning rehabilitation programs and mangrove restorations in the research area.
Highlights
Mangrove ecosystem is known to play an important role in the coastal environment, biology, and environmental health (Baran, 1999)
Condition of salinity mangrove ecosystem The increase of population indirectly gives the determination of the mangrove ecosystem (Matatula, 2010)
Salinity strongly affects the growth of mangrove forests and the survival of biota in the mangrove ecosystem
Summary
Mangrove ecosystem is known to play an important role in the coastal environment, biology, and environmental health (Baran, 1999). The mangrove ecosystem provides protection services for the small fish, fish larva and shells from predatory attacks (Lapolo et al, 2018), this causes mangrove forests to play a significant role in coastal ecosystems including ecological, social, and economic aspects (Basyuni et al, 2018; Schaduw, 2018). The mangrove ecosystem showed degradation due to population growth and excessive human activities (Matatula et al, 2018). Various building activities such as reclamation, physical development along the coastline, and pollution are the cause of degradation and the intrusion of the mangrove forest ecosystem (Husodo et al, 2017). The sustainable management of mangroves should be done by all government institutions (Febryano et al, 2014), by applying the appropriate social models in the management of mangroves (Sulistyorini et al, 2018)
