Mangrove forest

Ladies and Gentlemen,

  Mangroves are widespread in parts is quite hot in the world, especially around the equator in tropical areas and less in subtropical.

Extensive mangrove forests in Indonesia between 2.5 to 4.5 million hectares, is the largest mangrove in the world.

   Mangrove forests also called mangrove forests are forests growing on brackish water marshes located on the coastline and affected by ocean tides. This forest is growing, especially in places where there is silting and accumulation of organic matter. Good in coves sheltered from the onslaught of the waves, as well as around the mouth of the river where the water slows down and precipitate sludge had brought from upstream.

Mangrove ecosystems are unique, both for their siltation resulting in lack of soil aeration; high soil salinity; and experiencing the cycle of tidal inundation by sea water. Only a few types of plants that survive in this kind of place, and these types are mostly typical of mangroves having already gone through the process of adaptation and evolution.

    Benefits and biological functions of mangrove forests, among others:

• The marine life, both for shelter, feeding, spawning and rearing.

• Sources of food for species in the vicinity.

• The live many other animals such as monkeys, crocodiles, and birds.

    Benefits and physical function of mangrove forests, among others:

• Retention of coastal erosion.

• Retaining intrusion (absorption) of sea water inland.

• Retention of storms and salt laden.

• Reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) in the air (air pollution).

   Efforts can be made to improve and preserve the mangrove forests, among others:

1. Replanting mangrove should involve the community. The model can be a community engaged in breeding, planting and maintenance and utilization of mangrove forest conservation-based. These models provide benefits to the community, among others, the opening of employment opportunities resulting in increased incomes.

2. Rearrangement of spatial coastal areas: residential, vegetation, etc. Coastal regions can be arranged into ecological city once can be used as a beach tourism (ecotourism) form of nature tourism or other forms.

3. Increased motivation and awareness to preserve and utilize mangrove responsibly.

Hadiririn Dear, let us preserve our mangrove.

so many of my speech more or less I apologize.
