Abstract

Mangrove, a unique ecosystem commonly situated on the coast, has a very vital role for the living creatures both inhabiting in and around the ecosystem. As the biggest mangrove forest holder in the world, Indonesia owns its great potential for both sustainable fisheries and community welfare. In order to preserve the mangrove ecosystem for sustainable fisheries, environmental improvement through mangrove rehabilitation program is important. WWF Indonesia collaborated with PT. Bogatama Marinusa (PT. Bomar) implement a mangrove rehabilitation program to support ASC (Aquaculture Stewardship Council) shrimp certification. The activity was implemented on 2019 at Binangasangka, Maros, South Sulawesi. The program was implemented in several steps namely planning, consolidation to communities, socialization and local support, seed preparation, planting, and monitoring and evaluation. The whole program has engaged multiple local environment-concern communities, especially youth community, and have collaborated significant local stakeholders namely the Institute of Brackish Aquaculture Research of Maros and the Technology University of Sulawesi, as well embraced local society. In the end, about 24 thousand mangrove seeds have been planted and covering up to 1 hectare. From the mentioned number, the successfully survived seeds have reached 74 % and hopefully well-settled in future. The overall activities were expected to contribute not only expanding mangrove coverage in coastal area, but also being the educational tools about environmental awareness to young generation.Keywords: mangrove, rehabilitation, community, Maros.

Abstract

Shrimp aquaculture has rapidly expanded along Indonesia’s northern Java coast, raising concerns about its ecological implications, particularly in traditional shrimp farming. This rapid assessment evaluates the environmental and biodiversity impacts of traditional shrimp farming in Brebes, Central Java, focusing on current ecosystem conditions and future implications through scenario-based analysis. This study conducted a rapid ecological assessment to evaluate the environmental and biodiversity impacts of long-established traditional shrimp ponds. A descriptive qualitative approach was used, combining ecological field surveys, spatial analysis, interviews, and scenario-based comparisons of “with farm” and “no farm” conditions. The assessment recorded 54 plant species and 50 fauna species, including 10 nationally protected fauna and the Vulnerable smooth-coated otter (Lutrogale perspicillata), which faces increasing conflict with farmers. Spatial analysis confirmed that shrimp ponds are located outside protected areas and critical habitats and were not constructed on converted mangrove or natural wetlands ecosystem. Scenario modelling comparing "with farm" and "no farm" conditions highlights trade-offs between aquaculture expansion and biodiversity maintenance. Although ponds can create new niches for certain bird species, they may limit habitat connectivity for mammals. Community-based mangrove planting and ecological buffers offer promising mitigation pathways. As a rapid ecological assessment, this study provides baseline insights that can inform more detailed, long-term ecological monitoring and management of aquaculture landscapes in Northern Coast of Java.
