Abstract

As part of the coastal and marine environment, mangrove ecosystems are often degraded due to more levies/logging, the conversion of nikau forests into ponds shrimp, and pollution.  The decline in the quality of this area originated from anthropogenic factors from land pollution originating from land (land base), as well as pollution from marine activities (seabase). The threat needs to be anticipated through increased awareness and awareness of key stakeholders (logging communities).  In terms of environmental science, this ecosystem is seen as a potential bulwark of carbon and other environmental services.  This activity is an effort to provide understanding to the general public and government officials about the various benefits and importance of mangrove conservation efforts.   Counseling on this topic is very necessary because there is information about community complaints about the high exploitation and threats to the sustainability of its existence in Kampung Rawa Mekar Jaya, Siak Regency.  Counseling is considered important to be carried out because of the increasing degradation of coastal ecosystems (mangroves, coastal waters, estuaries) due to environmental pressures from human activity. From this community service activity, it is hoped that it can increase the knowledge, understanding, and awareness of the local community about the benefits of long Janka to maintaining coastal and marine ecosystems. The mindset of coastal communities is expected to be open and understand what can be done, what can and cannot be done to coastlines and mangrove ecosystems, for the sake of preserving natural resources and the environment related to the lives of the general public and especially fishermen whose lives are largely dependent on these ecosystems. The form of this planned community service activity is counseling on the importance of mangrove forest ecosystem conservation as an effort to preserve the ecology of coastal areas and coastal waters of Kampung Rawa Mekar Jaya, Siak Regency.  Counseling on this topic is considered very necessary considering the increasingly intense community activities that cause overexploitation of mangrove forest areas. This activity is one of the efforts to bring the name of Riau University into contributing to the development of community service specialties, especially education in the field of mangrove forest ecosystem management

Abstract

The community empowerment program utilizing biofloc technology in catfish farming was implemented in Tasik Seminai Village, Siak Regency, with the Pokdakan Tasik Makmur group as the primary partner. The program aimed to enhance the capacity of fish farmers, improve aquaculture techniques, strengthen business management, and generate social and economic benefits at the community level. A participatory approach was implemented through socialization, training, the establishment of a biofloc demonstration pond, and business mentoring over a three month period. Evaluation was conducted using pre- and post-tests, as well as field observations. The results demonstrate significant improvements in farmers’ capacities: knowledge increased from 62% to 85%, positive attitudes toward adopting biofloc rose from 65% to 88%, and technical skills improved from 60% to 82%. Technically, the Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR) decreased from 1.8 to 1.4, while the Survival Rate (SR) increased from 70% to 90%. From an economic perspective, production costs decreased from IDR 23,000,000 to IDR 20,000,000, while net profit increased fivefold, rising from IDR 2,000,000 to IDR 10,000,000. Additionally, the R/C ratio improved from 1.09 to 1.50, indicating enhanced economic feasibility. Socially, the program strengthened group solidarity through collective action and intensive communication. Overall, biofloc technology has proven to be an effective strategic tool for empowering fishing communities by improving technical efficiency, economic viability, and social cohesion in catfish farming.
