Abstract

The characteristics of mangrove ecosystems as public goods have great potential for degradation if they continue to experience pressure and the absence of sustainable management. The impact will be reduced economic value and require considerable rehabilitation costs to overcome other negative impacts that may occur in the community. This study was conducted to estimate the total economic value of mangrove ecosystems in Amahai Village, Central Maluku District. Respondents are 30 local communities selected by purposive sampling and 1 owner of the mangrove tourism by total sampling. Data analysed using quantitative methods. The results showed that the utilisation of mangrove resources by local communities consisted of fish, shrimp, crab, eco-tourism, research and education. The total economic value (TEV) with an area of 43.9 ha is IDR 5,899,162,139/year or IDR 134,377,270/ha/year, which consists of direct use value IDR 189,839,601/year, indirect use value IDR 5,619,753,331/year, option value IDR 21,025,247/year, existence value IDR 49,560,000/year, and bequest value IDR 18,983,960/year. This economic value indicates that the mangrove ecosystem plays an important and strategic role in the lives of local communities. Therefore, this value can be a source of information for the government as a policy holder in managing mangrove ecosystems in Amahai Village.

Abstract

Mangroves have an important role in supporting community welfare through various ecosystem services. However, in July 2022 there was mangrove damage in Poka Village, which was caused by exposure to waste from pipeline leaks during bridge construction. This incident damaged a mangrove area of 1,394 m2. The absence of market value for ecosystem services means that their benefits were often overlooked in economic decision-making. For this reason, incentive schemes such as Payment for Ecosystem Services (PES), where beneficiaries compensate providers, were considered necessary to reward the role of environmental service providers. The purpose of this study was to describe the potential implementation of PES for mangrove rehabilitation. The study observed the damaged mangrove areas and interviewed 61 respondents. For data analysis, the Contingent Valuation Method (CVM) was used to obtain the value of community’s willingness to pay (WTP) for mangrove rahabilitation. The results showed that the average value of willingness to pay was IDR 39,825.40 per household per month. As a concrete step, this value could be used as the initial amount of incentives in the Payment for Ecosystem Services (PES). Providers could be established or utilize existing institutional structures at the local level. Furthermore, the provider would make monthly or quarterly reports on the use of funds, the results of activities, and the condition of the mangrove ecosystem, which could be accessed by beneficiaries. Therefore, the implementation of Payment for Ecosystem Services (PES) in Poka Village had strong prospects to encourage the sustainability of mangrove ecosystem services.
