Abstract

Background: Mangrove forests are unique plant formations commonly found in protected coastal areas in tropical and subtropical regions. The existence of mangrove forests is essential due to their ecological, economic, and social benefits. Mangroves play a significant role in carbon sequestration, preventing seawater intrusion, reducing erosion and coastal abrasion, acting as natural wave barriers, filtering water, and serving as nursery grounds for various marine species, particularly fish. Objective: This study aims to analyze the factors driving mangrove land conversion in Indonesia's coastal areas and to examine its environmental and socio-economic impacts. Methods: This research employs a literature review approach. Relevant articles were sourced from the PubMed and Google Scholar databases using the keyword "mangrove land conversion in Indonesia." The selected studies were analyzed to identify the patterns and consequences of mangrove land conversion. Results: The findings indicate that mangrove land conversion in Indonesia’s coastal areas is driven by various factors, including the development of aquaculture (such as fish and shrimp ponds), the establishment of rice fields, settlements, office buildings, plantations, industrial areas, and other agricultural activities. The increasing demand for palm oil has also led to large-scale land clearing. Additionally, population growth in coastal areas contributes to the expansion of infrastructure such as roads and ports, which often involves the clearing of mangrove forests. Environmental degradation resulting from this conversion includes coastal abrasion and the overexploitation of mangroves for charcoal production, firewood, and construction materials. These activities lead to deforestation and the degradation of mangrove ecosystems. Conclusion: Mangrove land conversion in Indonesia is influenced by a combination of economic, social, and environmental factors. The low-income levels of coastal communities often push them towards activities that lead to land-use changes, while government policies may both limit and, in some cases, indirectly encourage deforestation. Furthermore, natural factors such as nutrient depletion, substrate alteration, salinity changes, and high wave exposure contribute to the inability of certain mangrove species to regenerate, exacerbating ecosystem degradation.

Abstract

Background: The first 1.000 days of life represent a critical window for a child's physical growth and cognitive development. Nutritional deficiencies or malnutrition during this period can result in stunted growth, impaired brain development, and reduced cognitive function, ultimately affecting a child's future potential. Adequate nutrition during early life is therefore essential to ensure optimal growth trajectories. One of the pivotal factors influencing toddler nutrition is the provision of appropriate complementary feeding, particularly for children aged 6–24 months. Among the various nutritional indicators, dietary diversity plays a fundamental role in achieving adequate nutrient intake and supporting healthy development. Objective: This study aims to assess dietary diversity during the complementary feeding period using the Minimum Dietary Diversity (MDD) indicator among children aged 6–24 months in Punggaloba Village, West Kendari District. Methods: This research employed a descriptive survey design involving 65 respondents, selected based on predetermined inclusion criteria. Data on complementary feeding practices and food intake patterns were collected and analyzed using univariate analysis to determine the prevalence of MDD compliance. Results: The study revealed that out of the 65 children assessed, the majority (78.46%) were in the 9–24 months age group. The proportion of children meeting the Minimum Dietary Diversity indicator was low, with only 19 children (29.2%) achieving the recommended dietary variety. The most commonly consumed foods during the complementary feeding period were rice, fish, eggs, and formula milk. Conversely, the consumption of vegetables and fruits remained inadequate, indicating limited dietary diversity among the study population. Conclusion: The findings underscore the urgent need to promote balanced and diverse complementary feeding practices in coastal communities, particularly in Punggaloba Village. Interventions focusing on nutrition education for caregivers are recommended to ensure sufficient nutrient intake and prevent malnutrition during this critical developmental period.

Abstract

Background: Climate change, primarily driven by global warming, has substantial negative impacts on coastal areas, particularly affecting the livelihoods of fishing communities. Rising temperatures, changing weather patterns, and sea-level rise have made fishing activities increasingly challenging. These environmental changes lead to reduced fish stocks, declining income from fishing, and broader socio-economic disruptions for coastal populations. Furthermore, the health of fishing communities is at risk due to the scarcity of clean water and decreased nutritional intake resulting from reduced fish catches. Objective: This study aims to systematically review the scientific literature on the impacts of climate change on fishing communities and coastal areas, with particular emphasis on the socio-economic and health consequences, as well as adaptation strategies. Methods: A Systematic Literature Review (SLR) was conducted using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Relevant scientific articles published between 2010 and 2024 were collected and analyzed. The inclusion criteria focused on studies addressing climate change, its impacts on coastal communities, and adaptation efforts by fishers. Results: The review findings indicate that climate change has far-reaching negative impacts on the livelihoods of coastal fishing communities. From a health perspective, climate change exacerbates the risk of disease transmission due to limited access to clean water and contributes to malnutrition resulting from reduced fish availability. Economically, decreased fish catches directly reduce fishermen's incomes, increasing their vulnerability. The findings also highlight the importance of adaptive capacity in maintaining the resilience of fishing communities, ensuring their economic activities and health status are not severely compromised. Conclusion: Climate change poses serious threats to the health, economic stability, and social well-being of fishing communities. Enhancing the adaptability of fishermen is crucial to mitigate these impacts. In addition, policymakers must develop comprehensive, multi-sectoral adaptation strategies that address the entire chain of vulnerability—from environmental changes to economic and health outcomes. Such policies should be implemented holistically, from upstream planning to downstream execution, to ensure they effectively support the resilience of affected coastal populations. Keywords: Climate Change, Global Warming, Socioeconomic Factors, Coastal Communities, Indonesia
