Abstract

Mangrove ecosystem management needs to be improved both in terms of quality and quantity, with its multifunctional functions which include ecological, economic, physical functions, and as a counterweight to the worlds climate. This is due to the increasing number of degradation and conversion of mangrove forests to other business areas. Exploitation for charcoal, wood, fishponds, or other productive uses is based on a narrow economic evaluation and only focuses on one mangrove use. Economic analysis that focuses on the multi-use aspects of mangrove forests will determine management practices with lower conversion and exploitation rates. Therefore the implementation of mangrove co-management is very necessary and able to support the realization of sustainable bioeconomics. The study was conducted along the coast on Madura Island. The descriptive-analytic approach that uses qualitative and quantitative data. The analysis uses Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) and Sustainable Livelihood Approach (SLA) approaches as well as in-depth qualitative analysis. The analysis shows that mangrove co-management as a model of mangrove ecosystem management can have a positive influence on the existence, sustainable use, and efforts to restore mangrove conditions. Four achievements of mangrove co-management in realizing sustainable coastal bio-economics, namely increasing the diversity of marine biota that has economic value, increasing productivity of fishermens catches, the increasing income of coastal communities, and Increasing community awareness of the mangrove ecosystem.
