Adverse effect already felt by community in Jakarta. The mangrove forest are able to absorb many carbon in the air, trapping of sediment from run off. Actually, mangrove forest posses many function including biology aspect, ecology aspect and economy aspect. In Jakarta, mangrove forest located in middle of city. For example, Area of Mangrove Forest at Pantai Indah Kapuk.
Several days ago, I come to Pantai Indah Kapuk which was become Area of mangrove ecotourism. I and other student of undergradute from Marine Science and Technology IPB held research in that area. we observed the mangrove forest. There are four genera of mangrove forest at Pantai Indah Kapuk Ecotourism including Rhizophora sp, Avicennia sp, Sonneratia sp and X. granatum. We took sample of mangroves and measured the water quality in the Mangrove area including pH, DO, Salinity, Nitrat and Phospat.
