strategi pengelolaan ekosistem mangrove berbasis silvofishery siput mata merah (Cerithidea obtusa) di desa buruk bakul kecamatan bukit batu kabupaten bengkalis
Silvofishery is a land management system that integrates mangrove
ecosystem conservation with aquaculture activities in one area. This approach
combines ecological, economic, and social aspects, providing dual benefits in the
form of environmental preservation and improved welfare for coastal
communities. The research was conducted from August to December 2024 in the
village of Buruk Bakul, Bukit Batu District, Bengkalis Regency. The objectives of
this study were to examine the characteristics of mangrove ecosystems as habitats
for red-eyed snails (Cerithidea obtusa) in silvofishery systems, analyze the
potential and abundance of red-eyed snails at the study site, analyze the
socioeconomic aspects of communities in red-eyed snail-based silvofishery
management, and develop strategies and recommendations for sustainable
silvofishery management in mangrove areas. The method used is an experimental
method with a quantitative approach. The results of the Silvofishery study in
Buruk Bakul Village indicate that the growth variation of Cerithidea obtusa is
influenced by environmental conditions. Plots 6 and 7 recorded the highest growth
in terms of length, shell width, and weight, indicating more optimal conditions.
Environmental factors such as depth (51–70.1 cm), temperature (27.8–29.2°C),
soil pH (4.46–4.60), water pH (6.45–6.60), salinity (19.2–19.8 ppt), as well as soil
organic matter and litter also varied between plots. Snail density ranges from 15
xi
to 48 individuals/m², influenced by habitat characteristics. With its high
adaptability and rapid life cycle, Cerithidea obtusa is considered suitable for
sustainable cultivation, thus requiring habitat-based management to increase the
productivity of the silvofishery system. Red-eyed snail (Cerithidea obtusa)
cultivation increases the income of small-scale fishermen and has received
positive feedback from coastal communities, with participation rates reaching
71.3%. Sustainable management of red-eyed snail silvofishery requires strategies
such as strengthening local institutions and community-based rules, which are key
to creating effective participatory governance. Additionally, the development of
snail-based businesses and processed products has the potential to increase
economic value and support social sustainability and local ecotourism. In
conclusion, the mangrove ecosystem in Buruk Bakul Village exhibits
environmental condition variations between plots that influence the growth of
Cerithidea obtusa. Factors such as depth, temperature, pH, salinity, organic
matter, and litter contribute to snail growth. Plots 5, 6, and 7 have the most
optimal habitats, characterized by higher snail growth, indicating the importance
of substrate quality and mangrove vegetation in supporting the cultivation of C.
obtusa in the silvofishery system. The implementation of silvofishery not only
increases community income to Rp 350,000 per cycle with low capital but also
promotes mangrove conservation. High social support, institutional strengthening,
and sustainable management strategies make silvofishery based on red-eyed snails
a potential economic and ecological solution for coastal communities.
