in coastal areas. One of the reason is less or no attention to the function
of mangrove ecosystems. This study was conducted in Indah Kapuk Beach, North
Jakarta, Indonesia with 5.06 km length of coastal, which was divided into two
regions, namely A (West) and B (East). Primary data was collected using transect-squares
and spot-check methods to determine the existing condition of mangrove vegetation.
Condition of mangrove has various densities ranging from 13-509 m. In region
A, mangrove thickness was small
in mangrove average of 40 m and the inland activities were aquacultural pond.
Mangroves in region B were large
400 m average and many development activities were carried out in this area.
Density of mangroves in the region A was sparse
(<1000 trees ha-1) and that in region B was fair
(1000-1200 trees ha-1) and very
dense (>1,500 trees ha-1).
The mangrove density of each region influenced less significantly on the development
activities. The biggest influence in maintaining the stability of the beach
was the thickness of mangroves growing on the seashore. The correlations were
as; when the mangrove density was sparse,
the mangrove thickness was small,
otherwise when the mangrove density was very
dense, the mangrove thickness
was large.
Rehabilitation was done in two areas, namely region A which was planted mangroves
in about 200-300 m thickness and region B which was planted mangroves in about
400-600 m thickness. It is concluded that the conservation of the coast can
be successful when the ecological systems of mangrove work entirely.]]>Ahmad, N.,19841984pp: 644-651pp: 644-651Barbier, E.B.,199470155173Barbier, E.B., S.D. Hacker, C. Kennedy, E.W. Koch, A.C.
