The mangrove ecosystem in Bintan Regency provides many benefits, both directly and indirectly, for the people around it. Mangrove ecosystem services also vary and play a role in adaptation and mitigation processes in the face of climate change. Oil pollution that occurs every year in Bintan Regency has a negative impact both ecologically and economically. This research aims to estimate the value of mangrove ecosystem services in the East and North Coastal Areas of Bintan Island, which can be used as a basis for the management of the Area. The data collection method used was a survey using a questionnaire on fishermen, tourists, tourism managers, and the surrounding community. In addition, it also collects some secondary data to support data analysis. The results of the study state that the estimated economic value of mangrove ecosystem services is Rp. 135,663,899,478.30/year from a mangrove area of 4,354.11 ha. The economic value consists of providing services by 61%, regulatory services by 21%, supporting services by 2%, and cultural services by 16%. This estimate can be used as a basis for policies and strategies for mangrove conservation and social welfare, as well as a consideration in making claims related to damage to the coastal and marine environment as a result of oil spills and others that often occur in the Bintan Island Area. |
