Abstract

The Nias Islands are a group of islands located on the west coast of Sumatra. Nias Island is the main and largest island on the West Coast of Sumatra. Information on the distribution and potential status of mangroves in the Nias Islands has been reported, but it is limited to a narrow area and not yet comprehensive throughout the Nias Islands. This study aims to determine the distribution and ecological status of mangroves in the Nias Islands. The research location was divided into two observation areas, namely 15 points on Nias Island and 23 points on the southern part of Nias. The research was carried out in June 2019 and June 2021. Mangrove sampling was carried out using the "spot check" method which refers to Bengen (2004). The results showed that the mangroves found in the Nias Islands consisted of 22 primary mangrove species and 9 secondary mangrove species. Rhizophora apiculata, Rhizophora mucronata, and Xylocarpus granatum are the most abundant mangrove species and are commonly found in the Nias Islands. The thickness of mangroves in the Nias Islands ranges from 15 – 880 m. The density of mangroves found reached 350-4,360 ind/ha. Mangrove cover reaches 0.08-31.62 m2/ha. The results of the analysis of the significant value of mangrove species show that Rhizophora mucronata and Rhizophora apiculata have a large influence and role in the mangrove vegetation community on Nias Island. Mangroves in the Nias Islands are categorized as damaged–good. The good category was found in South Nias, Belukar Bay, and Bengkuang Bay, while the damaged category was found in Lahewa Bay and Dalam Bay

Abstract

Afulu Village, located in Afulu Sub-district, North Nias Regency, has three interconnected ecosystems: coral reef ecosystem, seagrass ecosystem, and mangrove ecosystem. One of the main problems that occurs in Afulu Village is the damage to the coral reef ecosystem due to destructive activities such as the use of bombs, potassium, and poison by irresponsible people. This damage has caused the fishing grounds to become more distant, resulting in a decline in fishermen's catches from year to year. In addition, earthquakes and sedimentation events also have the potential to have a negative impact on coastal ecosystems such as coral reef ecosystems and mangrove ecosystems. These problems are exacerbated by the lack of community knowledge about coastal area management. To overcome these problems, this service activity aims to provide solutions to increase fishermen's catches through coral reef conservation management efforts. One of the innovations applied is the Science and Technology-based Coral Reef Transplantation Model Fish Apartment. The implementation method includes socialization, training and application of science and technology innovation of coral reef transplantation model fish apartment, as well as mentoring and evaluation. The main target of this activity is the Aman Setia Joint Business Group (KUB), which consists of fishermen groups in Afulu Village, Afulu District, North Nias Regency. It is expected that with the implementation of this activity, fishermen can maximize catches, increase daily income, and be able to disseminate information on science and technology innovations in coral reef transplantation model fish apartments to the people of Afulu Village. This is expected to support the recovery of ecosystem habitats independently and sustainably.
