Pemanfaatan Dan Penilaian Kesehatan Hutan Mangrove Desa Apar Kecamatan Pariaman Utara Provinsi Sumatera Barat
This study aimed to assess the health condition of mangrove forests and analyze their utilization by local communities in Apar Village, North Pariaman District, West Sumatra. The research was conducted in June 2025 at three stations representing the mangrove ecosystem, using field surveys and interviews. The observed parameters included water quality (temperature, salinity, pH), sediment fraction, organic matter content, and vegetation structure (density, diversity, evenness), which served as supporting indicators for the Mangrove Health Index (MHI). The results showed that water quality supported mangrove growth with temperatures of 28.9–31.6 °C, salinity of 4 ppt, and pH of 7.21–7.62. Sediment was dominated bysandymud atStations1–2 and muddysand atStation 3, whileorganic matter ranged from 23.88–37.90%, with the highest value at Station 2. Seven mangrove species were identified, consisting of Rhizophora mucronata, Rhizophora apiculata, Sonneratia alba, Sonneratia caseolaris, Nypa fruticans, Dolichandrone spathacea, and Acanthus ilicifolius. Vegetation density was categorized as dense (2,000–4,066 ind/ha), with diversity index (H’) 1.25–1.52 (moderate), evenness(E) 0.69–0.84 (moderate–high). TheMHI valuesranged from 2.40–2.70, indicating good condition. Utilization included fisheries resources (crabs, snails, shells), nipa fruit, tourism, and education, with a total impact value of 2.25 (low impact). These findings indicate that the Apar mangrove ecosystem remains healthy, and current utilization has not significantly disturbed its ecological functions.
