Abstract

The Latebung Mangrove Ecotourism Area is an example of a mangrove rehabilitation area that has been quite successful since 2010 until now. Now, mangrove ecotourism will be developed as a form of appropriate management to ensure the sustainability of conservation and rehabilitation while at the same time boosting the local community's economy. Lantebung has a mangrove forest of 25 ha. The area on the north is approximately 1,000 x 250 m and the area on the south is approximately 700 x 50 m. Mangrove forests have very important benefits and functions in forest ecosystems, water and the environment. Mangroves are also useful as carbon sinks, where the process of photosynthesis converts inorganic carbon (CO2) into organic carbon in the form of vegetation material. In most ecosystems, this material decomposes and releases carbon back into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide (CO2), but mangroves contain most of the non-decomposing organic matter. Mangroves function more as a carbon sink than other carbon sources. This study aims to determine the value of carbon absorption in mangrove litter in the Lantebung Mangrove Ecotourism Area, Makassar City. This research was conducted in the Lantebung Mangrove Ecotourism Area, Makassar City. The material in this study is data on mangrove vegetation and mangrove litter. Mangrove vegetation sampling was carried out using the plot sampling method and location determination using the purposive sampling method taking into account the density of mangroves. Data collection for calculating the carbon content of mangrove litter was carried out by capturing fallen litter using a litter-trap (litter-catching net). Litter-trap is a litter-catching net measuring 1 x 1 m2, made of black nylon with a mesh size of about 0.2 cm. Based on the research results, it was found that the density level of the mangrove ecosystem in the Lantebung Ecotourism Area of Makassar City is classified as medium to dense. The average wet weight litter production per day was 29.88 gram/m2/day to 11.47 gram/m2/day dry weight, this indicated that the dry weight litter production was around 38.40% of the wet weight litter production. The carbon content of mangrove litter in the Lantebung Ecotourism Area of Makassar City is an average of 23.333 gram/m2 or 0.023 Kg/ha, with a carbon absorption of 0.084 Kg/ha/day. The potential for carbon absorption in the Lantebung Ecotourism Area, Makassar City with an area of 58.53 ha is 4.94 tons/day.
