Mitigation and adaptation to climate change through sustainable mangrove management on the coast of Rembang Regency

Abstract

Abstract Climate change is very influential on the mangrove ecosystem. Adaptation and mitigation are urgent needs to minimize the impact of climate change. This study aims to analyze the sustainable management of mangroves in mitigating and adapting to climate change. This research uses a descriptive qualitative approach. The results showed that most of the community stated that the condition of the mangroves on the coast of Rembang Regency was in good condition, but in general the community had not been fully involved in Mangrove management. In mangrove ecosystems management, active community involvement is needed to maintain its sustainability. Good mangrove conditions can mitigate climate change. To adapt climate change can be done with programs that can maintain mangrove ecosystems such as using environmentally friendly fishing gear, not cutting down mangroves, developing ecotourism, and maintaining local wisdom
