| Abstract | ||
| Mangrove ecosystems play an important role in supporting the preservation of coastal resources and providing ecosystem services for coastal and marine communities in coastal areas. Given the role of mangroves, this study was conducted to know the composition of mangrove species and the health condition of mangrove forests based on community structure, species diversity, and mangrove canopy cover on the North Coast of Bangkalan Regency,Indonesia. Due to the lack of supporting literature on the health of mangroves along the north coast of Bangkalan, this study was conducted in that location. The assessment of the mangrove ecosystem's condition was carried out by analyzing the critical value index, which includes parameters such as frequency, dominance, and density within the mangrove population. The sampling method was employed to gather the necessary data for this analysis. The mangrove species sampling method used a 10 x 10m squared transect with three transects at each of the fourteen stations. The canopy cover was taken using the hemispherical photography method. The results showed that the composition of mangrove species on the north coast of Bangkalan Regency consisted of 17 species and ten genera. The results indicated that the mangrove ecosystem along the north coast of Bangkalan Regency is in good condition and exhibits low vulnerability to degradation. | ||
