Kendari Bay is directly adjacent to the Kendari City area, so that it receives a lot of pressure mainly from community activities. This pressure causes the declining of mangrove forest area every year. Reproductive phenology of mangroves can be used in planning, collecting seeds, and seeding propagules for rehabilitation of degraded mangrove forest area. The aims of this research were to know the morphological characteristics of mangrove reprodutive organs and mangrove reproductive phenology of Bruguiera gymnorrhiza, Ceriops tagal, Rhizophora apiculata, and Rhizophora mucronata in Kendari Bay. The method using in this research was observation method that conducted directly in the field. Morphology and phenology of mangrove reproduction divided into 6 phases, i.e. flower bud, blooming flower, ovary, fruit, young propagule and mature propagule. The data was analysed descriptively. According to the result, the morphological characteristics of 4 mangrove species were different. Flower of B. gymnorrhiza was single, whereas flowers of C. tagal, R. apiculata and R. mucronata were inflorescences. Ovary of B. gymnorrhiza was hemi inferous, whereas ovaries of C. tagal, R. apiculata and R. mucronata were superous. R. mucronata had the largest propagule compared to other mangroves observed. The timing of mangrove reproductive phenology also showed different result. B. gymnorrhiza required 299 days to develop from flower bud to mature propagule and R. apiculata required 262 days, whereas C. tagal and R. mucronata  had not been able known its phenological period because the timing data from ovary to fruit had not been obtained. Further research is needed to resolve this issue.

Kawasan hutan mangrove di Jawa Timur terdapat di sepanjang pantai utara mulai Kabupaten Tuban sampai dengan Kabupaten Situbondo seluas sekitar 19.916 hektar (Perum Perhutani, 1994). Keberadaan hutan mangrove tersebut kini semakin memprihatinkan, dimana penyusutan hutan mangrove di Kabupaten Probolinggo mencapai 580 hektar pada tahun 2001 (Kompas, 2001), dan 229,5 hektar di Kabupaten Situbondo (Pemerintah Kabupaten Situbondo, 2005). Dengan laju penurunan hutan mangrove yang demikian cepat, maka diperkirakan hutan mangrove akan lenyap pada tahun 2010 (Ramono, 2003). Kegiatan rehabilitasi hutan mangrove yang dilaksanakan sampai saat ini hanya terbatas pada penanaman pohon-pohon mangrove yang rusak karena penebangan, padahal keberhasilan upaya rehabilitasi juga sangat dipengaruhi oleh kondisi lahan, jenis mangrove, dan tata cara penanaman. Hasil penelitian yang dilakukan pada 3 (tiga) lokasi di pantai utara Jawa Timur bagian timur menunjukkan bahwa, tanah-tanah didominasi oleh fraksi pasir (13,80-94,92 %), pH asam (8,06-8,94), tingkat salinitas tinggi (0,2302-2,4843 %), kapasitas tukar kation rendah (7,8837-27,2901 me/100g), dan kandungan bahan organik rendah (0,1851-2,4675 %). Sehingga jenis mangrove yang dapat direkomendasikan untuk ditanam di Kabupaten Probolinggo pada zona paling dekat dengan darat (belakang) adalah Ceriops decandra, dan Ceriops tagal, pada zona tengah antara lain Bruguiera gymnorrhiza, dan Xylocarpus mollucensis, pada zona paling dekat dengan laut (depan) adalah Rhizophora apiculata, Rhizophora mucronata, dan Rhizophora stylosa.

Abstract. Warui MW, Manohar S, Obade P. 2020. Current status, utilization, succession and zonation of mangrove ecosystem along Mida Creek, Coast Province, Kenya. Bonorowo Wetlands 10: 32-43. Human activities have resulted in the destruction of mangrove forests, posing a threat to the mangrove ecosystem and the living things that rely on it. From September 2009 through February 2010, researchers studied the current state, usage, succession, and zonation of the mangrove ecosystem along Mida Creek in Kenya's Coast Province. The goals were to assess changes in the floristic composition of the mangrove forest, identify the most preferred mangrove species, investigate whether accessibility determines utilization of mangrove species, investigate whether harvesting of mangroves affects their succession, and investigate the effectiveness of current mangrove forest management policies. The data was collected using the Point-Centered Quarter Method (PCQM) to see if access into the mangrove forest influences their use and if mangrove succession is affected by their use. To evaluate the efficiency of government policies/legislation governing mangrove exploitation and the most favored mangrove species by the local community and other users, questionnaires were circulated and interviews were conducted. Out of the 210 houses in Mida Creek, 136 respondents were interviewed, one from each household. To examine the temporal changes in the floristic composition of the mangrove forest, two sets of aerial images (1992 and 2006) were processed and interpreted. The data from the questionnaires were coded and entered into the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). An analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to see if the accessibility of mangroves influences their use. To see if the utilization of mangroves affects their succession, researchers used regression analysis. To evaluate the forest structure, an importance value was derived. To summarize the present mangrove forest management policies and their effectiveness, descriptive statistics were used. Between 1992 and 2006, the floristic composition of the mangrove forest in Mida Creek changed; the area covered by mangroves decreased as follows: Rhizophora mucronata (Rm); 65.09-63.93ha; Avicennia marina (Am); 344.99-310.63ha; Ceriops tagal (Ct); 225.12-223.82ha; Rm and Ct; 52.87-50.22ha; Ct and Am; 143.69- 140.29ha; Rm and Am; 44.36-41.27ha; Rm and Bg; 212.75-199.75ha; Rm and Sonneratia alba (Sa); 47.64-46.32ha; Rm, Ct and Bruguiera gymnorrhiza (Bg); 129.07-128.12ha; Rm, Am, Ct, and Bg; 472.44-428.46ha. The number of cut mangroves in the adjacent settlements, center, and shoreline revealed a significant difference (F=3.277; df=2; p=0.040) in the ANOVA test, indicating that accessibility determines consumption. The most favored mangrove species was Rhizophora mucronata, according to the findings. There was a correlation between the number of mangrove seedlings and the number of cut mangroves (F=8.529, df=1, R=0.198, P=0.004), according to regression analysis. The use of mangroves has an impact on their succession. Mangrove utilization policies and legislation have been less effective. The key species in Mida Creek were Rhizophora mucronata and Ceriops tagal. The extent of mangrove forests in Mida Creek has shrunk over time.
