Abstract:
This
research is designed to develop a sustainable mangrove management strategy,
based on a comparison of the mangrove ecological conditions in the two
locations. This research was conducted in two mangrove forest areas located in
Margasari Village, Maruhani Labuhan Regency, East Lampung Regency and in
Sidodadi Village, Teluk Pandan Regency, Pesawaran Regency from March to
November 2019. Vegetation and descriptive analysis was carried out to determine
the diversity of flora and fauna in the mangrove forest. Several field visits
were conducted to study the distribution patterns, frequency and dominance of
species to describe the mangrove ecological conditions. The result showed
mangroves that have different characteristics need different strategies to
develop sustainable mangrove ecology. Diversification of mangrove species is
needed to provide better mangrove ecology to be able to withstand the spread of
pests and plant diseases naturally and be able to withstand abrasion, and
habitat for a variety of fauna in mangrove.
