Penanaman Mangrove sebagai Upaya Mitigasi di Pesisir Pantai Lontar Banten

Abstract

Mangroves are one of the plants that play an important role in terrestrial and coastal ecosystems in absorbing 
carbon dioxide and preventing abrasion. Mangrove nursery and planting activities carried out on the coast of Lontar 
Beach, Serang Regency, Banten, as an effort to mitigate and care for nature conservation, protect the coast from erosion, 
provide habitat for various species, and play a role in carbon absorption. The methods used include socialization to local 
communities about the importance of mangroves, then mangrove nurseries and planting are carried out at the location 
so that they succeed in increasing the area of planted mangroves. This activity is expected to have a long-term positive 
impact on coastal ecosystems. Therefore, this mangrove nursery and planting activity is not only beneficial in nature 
conservation, but also in education and empowerment of local communities, thus showing the importance of synergy 
between educational institutions and the community in environmental conservation efforts.
