ABSTRACTThis research aimed to investigate the Willingness to Pay (WTP) for mangroveconservation of local communities at Salut Mengkabong Lagoon, Tuaran based on theamount of fees imposed on them. The content is based on questionnaire survey providedto local communities from Mangrove Forest Produce (MFP) to their perception inconservation programme. The survey was conducted with a priod of 7 month startedfrom September 2016 until March 2017. Contingent Valuation Method (CVM) was usedto calculate the Willingness to Pay (WTP) whereby 100 respondents were asked tocomplete the questionnaire. From the analysis, it showed that the WTP of localcommunities were affected by their monthly income. Regression model analysis withWTP = -0.087* (monthly income) + 1.789 has been formed. Whereas, the value ofmangrove forest produce (MFP) in Salut Mengkabong Lagoon has been calculated with atotal of RM728 for the direct product while for the non-direct products such as crab,bivalves, seashells and fishes cost about RM721 to RM2472 in a year. The studydocumented mangrove forest contribution to local communities in Salut MengkabongLagoon such as timber; Rhizophora mucronata and Avicennia spp, Seafood; Scyllaserrata, Geloina coaxans, various type of fishes and seashell. From the result, it washope that this study can promote a win-win situation to both local community andstakeholders to come out with an effective supervision to ensure the long-lastingdependency of local communities to the mangrove forests without undermining theirsocio-economic wellbeing.Keywords: Salut Mengkabong Lagoon, Mangroves Forest Produce, local community

Policy Scenario

Mangroves provide benefits and various services to local communities living along coastal areas, particularly fishery communities. Fishery community perceptions are significant in determining attitudes towards improving mangrove conditions, which can also be addressed through restoration activities. This research was conducted to analyze fisheries communities perceptions, willingness to pay (WTP) for mangroves restoration, and mangrove forest management strategies. Field surveys were conducted from July-August 2019 and February-March 2020. Primary data were collected from respondents in four regions (Kalianda Regency, South Lampung Regency, Bandar Lampung City, and Pesawaran Regency) in Lampung Province, Indonesia, which consist of fishers, shrimp farmers, crab and wood seekers, and finfish farmers. The respondents were 193 people, and four experts were involved in the policy scenario analysis. Results revealed a gap in the value of WTP among fishery community groups, in which the average value for fishers is lower than shrimp farmers. The years of formal education significantly influenced the WTP for mangrove restoration. Based on the scenario analysis, scenario 01 become a priority strategy, where four policies (P1 = Mangrove ecotourism development in Lampung Bay; P2 = Mangrove knowledge education and training on processing mangrove based products; P3 = Restoration and conservation of mangrove forests; and P4 = Community-based management for mangrove forests utilization) show high likelihoods to be simultaneously implemented for mangroves management, with mangrove ecotourism policy as the most decisive policy. For future research, other explanatory variables can be added, such as information on family member characteristics, and to develop a bottom-up policy scenario by identifying and involving the role of the local community.

Mahakam Delta

Mangroves provide multiple benefits for local communities’ livelihoods. However, in the Mahakam delta mangroves have declined considerably. This study examines the factors affecting households’ willingness to pay (WTP) for mangrove restoration in three villages in the Mahakam delta and determines whether a mangrove restoration project would be viable and should be implemented in the study area or not. The contingent valuation method was applied through a double-bound dichotomous choice format to estimate the WTP for mangrove restoration. The results showed that over 80% of perception of respondents considered the benefits of mangroves were essential that associated with their livelihoods. Local residents tended to be willing to pay more for mangrove restoration when they acknowledged the benefits of mangroves and when they felt that the sustainability of mangrove ecosystems was their responsibility. The benefits transfer method was also used to estimate the costs and benefits of an ongoing mangrove restoration project in the study area. The benefits provided by mangroves, as estimated based on households’ WTP, clearly outweighed the costs for the mangrove restoration project. We conclude that mangrove restoration should be implemented in the study area by increasing local communities’ awareness and responsibility to protect and manage the mangrove a sustainable.

The purpose of this study was to determine and describe the partnershipbetween of Surabaya government with local communities on mangrove forestsmanagement in the North Coast Surabaya. This research is conducted byqualitative descriptive method. Based on the research results, it is known that the partnership between the government of Surabaya with the local community (comanagement approach) provide positive value on the mangrove forests management. People who benefit from the mangrove forest participate in determining management decisions that affect their well-being, while the government got benefits from reduced liability manage. In addition, comanagement approach could increase the sense of belonging in the community, so there was a will of its own to preserve mangrove. But in this case, several steps that needs to be done by local government, among others: local government divided each authority were clearly based on formal rules; local government empower local communities associated with mangrove forest management, as well as set up an authorized institution in the management of resources such as beach protection as partners with Surabaya government on collaboration who could represent their respective interests (mangrove forest management) and recognized by the community.

Mangrove Conservation

A broad range of ecological services from mangrove forest encompasses a mixture of landward and seaward transition around tropical and subtropical areas in many regions that are threatened by humans. Among the issues highlighted in this research are i) the decline in mangrove areas due to development activities, and ii) zero price value of mangrove areas. This study reports on the direct use value of mangrove forest, willingness to pay for the conservation of mangrove forests, and satisfaction towards current mangrove management in Kampung Sungai Melayu, located at Johor state in Malaysia. A face-to-face survey was employed, targeting 111 heads of households and 219 individuals from the local community through a simple random sampling technique. This study concludes that the local community are willing to pay for mangrove conservation at RM17.84 per year. Based on the significant results from the Chi Square analysis, three factors have a significant correlation with the “willingness to pay” for mangrove conservation which includes the length of residency (X2 = 11.780) and household income (X2 =13.463).

Importance Value

Increasing population may result in excessive changes of land use and natural resource utilization. Local communities of mangrove forest areas have been dependent heavily on forest conditions to survive. Conversion of forest to development requirements is apparently to affect the structure and income of local communities who live traditionally in the region. The purpose of the study is to understand the structure of mangrove forest vegetation and changes of people's income depending their live on mangrove forests in the Bay of Youtefa, Jayapura. Sampling method was purposive sampling of respondents and mangrove vegetation analysis was conducted using line transect method. The plot size were 10 x 10 m2; 5 x 5 m2; and 2 x 2 m2 used for viewing the ecological importance valua index (IVI) of tree, stake and seedling. The results showed that there were 10 known species of mangrove dominated by Rhizophora apiculata, R. mucronata and R. stylosa respectively. R. mucronata dominated the area and has the highest importance value index (IVI) level. Development structure including means of transportation (flying bridge) have a major impact on the local community Increasing economic losses. There is a decrease of direct income of communities as much as 2.05 billion per year (from 5.65 billion to 3.61 billion per year).Key words: mangrove ecosystem, vegetation structure, economic value, Jayapura.

Mangrove forest is one of the important ecosystems in Karimunjawa, Indonesia. It provides a variety of services both ecologically and economically. However, over-exploited activity, such as timber theft, can be threatening the sustainability of mangrove forest in Karimunjawa now and in the future. Thus, the improved management for mangrove forest is necessary to ensure its sustainability, and it is depending on how people value the conservation from economic and environment consideration. This study examines the factors influencing on the willingness to pay (WTP) of respondents for mangrove restoration in Karimunjawa. A total of 502 respondents were interviewed using census method. The method employed is Contingent Valuation Method (CVM)Single Bounded. In CVM, the logit model was defined based on dichotomous choice method to estimate the willingness-to-pay (WTP) randomly with three different starting bid value. Findings showed that local awareness of the importance of the values given by mangroves was popularized among local communities. The findings also indicated that respondents who are higher education and have more income were more likely to pay for the mangrove restoration.

Abstract Background: Despite exceptional ecosystem services are provided by Altash National Park, anthropogenic activities exert immense pressures on the parks’ natural resources from the surrounding community which is eventually degrading the productivity of ecosystem services. Therefore, the aim of this study was economic valuation of ecosystem services of Altash National Park of Ethiopia. Using systematic random sampling 196 sample respondents were selected. Double bounded dichotomous choice followed by open ended format of contingent valuation method was used to state households’ willingness to pay (WTP) and their maximum WTP for conservation of ecosystem services of the park. Seemingly unrelated bivariate probit model was employed to analyse the data. Results: First and second offered bid values, Sex of respondent, Years of living in Kebele, Education status, Distance from home to park, Benefit of preservation, Distance from farm to park, Training on park conservation were found to have statistically significant influence on households’ WTP for improving conservation of ecosystem services of the park. The expected aggregate WTP from double bounded dichotomous choice and open ended format was estimated 1,511,172.96 and 1,526,194.56 birr, respectively. Conclusions: Based on the findings, since all respondents were willing to pay for the conservation of ecosystem services of the park, for every decision and formulation of policies and strategies, participation of local communities should be considered. Finally, regular training and workshop should be delivered for local communities to enhance awareness about the environmental and economic values of the park and to develop sense of ownership.
