Abstract

Mangrove areas serve as a nexus between sea and land regions. These mangroves thrive in areas with standing seawater and are influenced by tidal fluctuations. In addition to their physical function as erosion barriers, mangrove ecosystems possess the ability, akin to other plant types, to absorb carbon dioxide (CO2). The carbon sequestration capacity of mangroves is deemed higher than that of terrestrial forests and tropical rainforests (Donato et al., 2011). This research aims to estimate carbon (C) absorption in the mangroves of the PT PLN Nusantara Power UP Rembang mangrove area and strategize mangrove area development to enhance carbon (C) absorption capacity based on emitted carbon. The study was conducted from November 2023 to January 2024 in the mangrove area of PT PLN Nusantara Power UP Rembang. Purposive Sampling Method was employed, determining three observation station points with one-time, non-repetitive sampling. Carbon uptake analysis (C) results reveal that Rhizophora stylosa exhibits the highest carbon absorption capacity (C) at 13.13 kg/tree, followed by Rhizophora mucronata at 10.76 kg/tree and Rhizophora apiculata at 8.93 kg/tree. Mangrove area development entails planting six mangrove types: Rhizophora mucronata, Rhizophora stylosa, Rhizophora apiculata, Avicennia marina, Sonneratia alba, and Bruguiera gymnorrhiza based on their carbon absorption capacity (C). The additional area covers 15.41 hectares, resulting in a carbon absorption capacity (C) increase of 24,462.29 tons of CO2/year. Estimated carbon (C) uptake by mangroves is expected to increase with mangrove diameter growth.
