Ekostruktur mangrove dan hubungannya dengan karakteristik lingkungan serta kapasitas asimilasi pesisir pulau sepanjang kabupaten Sumenep Madura

Abstract

The main problem that occurs on small islands particularly and the main island generally are the risk of contamination and declining environmental quality. Mangrove ecosystem is known to have the function and role in controlling environmental pollution. Therefore this study aims to identify the mangroves eco-structure on Sepanjang Island, to identify the relationship of mangroves with chemical and physics environment characteristics, to quantify organik waste loads and to analyze assimilation capacity of mangrove ecosystem to organik waste on the coastal of Sepanjang Island,. This study was conducted by analyzing the mangrove eco-structure from INP and the index of H’, E, or D. While the quality of water and sediment are major parameters in addition to mangrove. Macrozoobentos also become one of the measured parameter. The results showed that mangrove eco-structure on research sites were dominated by famili Rhizohoraceae. Pollutants load that showed the quality of environmental on mangrove ecosystems generally on tolerated conditions for marine life and has a value of assimilation capacity which are at under capacity condition.
