Abstract

The existence of mangrove ecosystems on the island of Lombok is very important ecologically and disaster mitigation as well as economic potential. However, the existence and function of these ecosystems has decreased due to utilization that tends to be destructive. The purpose of this study is to inform the potential and problems of mangrove resources in the coastal area of Lombok Island. Data collection was carried out using the quadratic transect method in several locations in five regencies/cities in Lombok Island. Whereas the utilization and its problems were carried out by interview method and focus group discussion (FGD) with stakeholders around the location. Determination of the status of mangrove damage was using Kep.Men.LH No. 201 of 2004. The results of the study found 27 species of mangroves scattered in coastal areas in five regencies/cities on the island of Lombok. Dominant species were Rhizopora stylosa and Rhizopora mucronata , and the least was Sonneratia ovata . The city of Mataram has the least mangrove cover with damaged status, while the coast of East Lombok Regency has the widest mangrove cover with moderate to good status. Utilization of mangrove resources on the island of Lombok, among others: fishponds, fishing, tourism and conservation. Damage to mangrove resources on the coast of Lombok Island is mostly caused by land conversion to ponds, buildings and landfills.
