Desain Rencana Aksi Rehabilitasi Mangrove untuk Meningkatkan Resiliensi Bakal Kawasan Konservasi Laut di Kepala Madan, Buru Selatan

Abstract

Ekosistem mangrove di Kecamatan Kepala Madan, Kabupaten Buru Selatan, Provinsi Maluku mengalami tekanan akibat faktor alami dan antropogenik. Kondisi ini mengancam fungsi mangrove dalam mendukung resiliensi wilayah pesisir yang direncanakan sebagai kawasan konservasi laut. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis dan merumuskan desain rencana aksi rehabilitasi mangrove berbasis kondisi ekologis dan sosial masyarakat. Penelitian dilakukan pada September-Oktober 2024. Analisis ekologis meliputi Indeks Nilai Penting (INP), Indeks Kesehatan Mangrove (IKM), Indeks Kualitas Lingkungan Mangrove (IKLM), serta strategi rehabilitasi melalui matriks rehabilitasi. Analisis sosial dilakukan secara deskriptif untuk mengetahui tingkat pengetahuan, persepsi, dan kontribusi masyarakat. Hasil menunjukkan terdapat sembilan spesies mangrove dengan Rhizophora stylosa sebagai spesies dominan. IKM berada pada kategori sedang (45-62%), sedangkan IKLM tergolong tinggi (93,33-100%). Strategi replantasi direkomendasikan untuk seluruh stasiun, disertai pembentukan komunitas pengelola untuk mewujudkan rehabilitasi mangrove yang adaptif, partisipatif, dan berkelanjutan.

The mangrove ecosystem in Kepala Madan District, South Buru Regency, Maluku Province is under pressure from both natural and anthropogenic factors. This condition threatens the ecological function of mangroves in supporting the resilience of coastal areas designated as a prospective marine conservation zone. This study aims to analyze and formulate a mangrove rehabilitation action plan based on ecological conditions and community social aspects. The research was conducted in September-October 2024. Ecological analysis included the Important Value Index (IVI), Mangrove Health Index (MHI), Mangrove Environmental Quality Index (MEQI), and determination of rehabilitation strategies using a rehabilitation matrix. Social aspects were analyzed descriptively to assess the community’s knowledge, perception, and level of contribution. Results showed nine mangrove species with Rhizophora stylosa as the dominant species. MHI was in the moderate category (45-62%), while MEQI was high (93.33-100%). Replanting is recommended at all stations, along with the establishment of local management groups to ensure adaptive, participatory, and sustainable mangrove rehabilitation.
