Analisis Kesehatan dan Regenerasi Ekosistem Mangrove Sebagai Dasar Pengelolaanya di Desa Ketapang, Kabupaten Tangerang, Banten. | Analysis of the Health and Regeneration of Mangrove Ecosystems as a Basis for Management in Ketapang Village, Tangerang Regency, Banten.

Ekosistem mangrove terus mengalami degradasi kawasan akibat kegiatan manusia yang merusak lingkungan. Kerusakan kawasan yang disebabkan kegiatan antropogenik sekitar pesisir yang berpotensi akan berdampak pada status ekologi mangrove. Penelitian dilaksanakan pada bulan Oktober 2024 sampai November 2024, di Desa Ketapang, Kabupaten Tangerang, Provinsi Banten. Observasi dilakukan secara in situ dengan mengamati ekosistem secara langsung. Kondisi ekosistem mangrove perlu diketahui status indeks nilai penting, indeks kesehatan mangrove dan status regenerasi untuk lingkungan. Avicennia marina ditemukan pada 3 stasiun dengan nilai penting tertinggi 300%. Indeks kesehatan mangrove tertinggi diketahui pada stasiun 4 dengan nilai 69,77% yang menandakan kondisi sangat baik serta terendah sebesar 17,30% yang menandakan kondisi buruk. Status regenerasi kawasan ekosistem mangrove tergolong dalam kondisi yang buruk, dengan ditemukan 19 kategori pertumbuhan semai. Jenis Avicennia marina diketahui memiliki peran penting pada komunitas dalam lingkungan. Indeks kesehatan mangrove Desa Ketapang tergolong cukup baik dengan nilai persentase 50,23%. Status regenerasi kawasan mangrove Desa Ketapang dalam kategori buruk karena jumlah pertumbuhan semai lebih sedikit dibandingkan pertumbuhan anakan dan pohon.

Mangrove ecosystems continue to degrade due to human activities that damage the environment. Damage to the area caused by anthropogenic activities around the coast will potentially impact the ecological status of mangroves. The research was conducted from October 2024 to November 2024, in Ketapang Village, Tangerang Regency, Banten Province. Observations were made in situ by directly observing the ecosystem. The condition of the mangrove ecosystem needs to know the status of the important value index, mangrove health index and regeneration status for the environment. Avicennia marina has found at 3 stations with the highest importance value of 300% at station 3. The highest mangrove health index is known at station 4 with a value of 69.77% which indicates excellent conditions and the lowest at 17.30% which indicates poor conditions. The regeneration status of the mangrove ecosystem area is classified as poor, with 19 categories of seedling growth identified. The Avicennia marina species is known to have an important role in on the environment. The overall health index of mangroves in Ketapang Village is quite good with a percentage value of 50.23%. The Ketapang Village mangrove area is in the poor regeneration status category because the number of seedlings is lower than the number of saplings and trees.
