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.

Review

The manuscript, "Penanaman Mangrove sebagai Upaya Mitigasi di Pesisir Pantai Lontar Banten," addresses a highly relevant and critical topic concerning coastal ecosystem health and climate change mitigation in Indonesia. The paper focuses on mangrove nursery and planting activities as a strategy to combat abrasion, absorb carbon dioxide, and foster biodiversity in the Lontar Beach area of Serang Regency, Banten. The authors effectively highlight the multifaceted ecological and social benefits of such initiatives, underscoring their importance for both environmental conservation and community well-being. The abstract clearly outlines the broad objectives of the initiative, which include community socialization, mangrove nursery establishment, and subsequent planting. A significant strength lies in its emphasis on community engagement and empowerment, recognizing the synergy between educational institutions and local populations as crucial for successful environmental conservation efforts. The authors claim success in "increasing the area of planted mangroves," which points towards positive initial outcomes. However, the methodological description remains quite general, and specific details regarding the scale of the activities, the types of mangroves planted, and the quantitative measures of success are not provided within the abstract. To enhance the scientific rigor and impact of the full paper, it would be beneficial to include more detailed information on the methodology and present concrete, measurable results. For instance, quantifying the "increased area of planted mangroves" with specific figures, discussing the survival rates of the saplings, and providing even preliminary data on carbon absorption or erosion reduction would significantly strengthen the claims of mitigation success. Further elaboration on the long-term monitoring strategy and the specific mechanisms through which community education leads to empowerment would also be highly valuable. Incorporating these elements would move the paper from a descriptive account of an activity to a robust scientific contribution with clear, evidence-based findings.
