Daftar Isi:
- Hutan mangrove kini menghadapi ancaman serius, dimana tekanan antropogenik manusia telah meningkat pesat di wilayah pesisir sekitar kawasan mangrove. Kajian ekologi perairan Pulau Tunda Serang Banten khususnya keadaan umum hutan mangrovenya telah dilakukan pada bulan Januari 2014. Hal ini bertujuan sebagai data dasar dalam mengevaluasi pengelolaan mangrove di Indonesia (khususnya Pulau Tunda Serang Banten) dan kedepannya keberadaan hutan mangrove Indonesia dapat dipertahankan. Data kondisi vegetasi mangrove Pulau Tunda Serang Banten dikumpulkan dengan membuat transek garis dan plot yang ditarik dari titik acuan (tegakan mangrove terluar) dan tegak lurus garis pantai sampai ke daratan. Sementara pengukuran kualitas perairan dilakukan secara in-situ. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa pertumbuhan hutan mangrove Pulau Tunda Serang Banten pada bagian Timur (Stasiun 1) lebih muda dibandingkan bagian Selatan (Stasiun 2). Kemudian kerapatannya juga lebih tinggi di bagian Timur daripada bagian Selatan, namun kondisi hutan mangrove kedua stasiun masih tergolong baik dan sangat padat. Selain itu, kualitas lingkungan vegetasi mangrove Pulau Tunda masih tergolong tinggi, keanekaragaman maupun dominansi hutan mangrovenya tergolong rendah, keseragaman dalam keadaan agak seimbang, pola penyebarannya tergolong beraturan (regular) dan parameter kualitas perairan tidak menjadi penghambat bagi pertumbuhan mangrovenya.
- Mangrove forests now face serious threats, where human anthropogenic pressure has increased rapidly in coastal areas around mangrove areas. The ecological study of the waters of Tunda Serang Banten Island, especially the general condition of its mangrove forests, was carried out in January 2014. This was intended as a baseline in evaluating mangrove management in Indonesia (especially Tunda Serang Banten Island) and the presence of Indonesian mangrove forests could be maintained in the future. Data on the condition of the mangrove vegetation of Tunda Serang Banten Island was collected by making line transects and plots drawn from the reference point (outermost mangrove stands) and perpendicular to the coastline to the mainland. While the measurement of water quality is done in-situ. The results showed that the growth of the mangrove forest of Tunda Serang Island in Banten on the East (Station 1) was younger than that in the South (Station 2). Then the density is also higher in the East than in the South, but the condition of the mangrove forests of both stations is still relatively good and very dense. In addition, the environmental quality of Tunda Island's mangrove vegetation is still relatively high, the diversity and dominance of mangrove forests is low, uniformity in a somewhat balanced condition, regular distribution patterns and water quality parameters are not a barrier to the growth of mangroves.
