The destruction of the Phoenix!Hibiscus and Barringtonia racemosa Communities described by Venter in 1972 on the southern shores of Richards Bay is reported. The cause was the artificial openingof a new mouth about 5,5 km south of the original mouth, which increased tidal range and salinity. These swamp communities occupied a narrow band about 6 ha in area behind the Bruguiera gymnorrhiza Community. An estimated 95 % of the communities was affected and only on the landward border were some isolated remnants of species such as Acrostichum aureum, Hibiscus tiliaceus and Phoenix reclinata detected .Young stands of  Phragmites australis, seedlings of  Bruguiera gymnorrhiza and Avicennia marina and epipelic algae are recoIonizing the affected area.

Langsa merupakan salah satu kota pesisir Aceh yang memiliki kawasan mangrove yang  sangat  potensial.  Kota  ini  memiliki  panjang  garis  pantai  16  km dengan luas kawasan mangrove sebesar 7.837 Ha. Keberadaan mangrove di wilayah ini menjadi aset strategis untuk dikembangkan menjadi basis kegiatan ekonomi untuk memakmurkan masyarakat dan meningkatkan pendapatan  asli  daerah. Tujuan utama penelitian ini adalah untuk melestarikan potensi sumberdaya ekosistem mangrove yang ada di Kota Langsa agar dapat memberikan fungsi ekologis dan ekonomis secara berkesinambungan kepada masyarakat disekitarnya. Kajian ini dilakukan menggunakan metode survei, analisa laboratorium dan observasi lapangan. Hasil pengamatan terhadap komposisi jenis tumbuhan yang terdapat di ekosistem mangrove menunjukkan 8 jenis tumbuhan mangrove yaitu: jenis Avicennia lanata, Avicennia marina, Bruguiera gymnorrhiza, Bruguiera parviflora, Rhizophora apiculata, Rhizophora  mucronata, Sonneratia Caseolaris dan Xylocarpus granatum. Nilai rata-rata parameter kualitas air di ekosistem mangrove secara beturut-turut adalah DO (6.3 ppm),salinitas (27 ‰), pH tanah dasar (6.0), pH tanah permukaan (5.08), pH air (7.33), suhu (30 oC) dan kecerahan (5 m).  Perhitungan terhadap nilai manfaat ekosistem mangrove meliputi: 1) Nilai manfaat langsung perikanan tangkap: Rp. 8.710.000.000 per tahun, 2) Nilai manfaat budidaya tambak: Rp. 93.940.000.000,- per tahun, 3) Nilai penahan abrasi dan banjir: Rp. 300.000.000,- per hektar per tahun, 4) Nilai sebagai penyediaan unsur hara: Rp. 28.634.000,- per tahun, 5) Nilai manfaat pilihan: Rp. 210.000.000,- per tahun dan 6) Nilai manfaat keberadaan: Rp. 1.464.493.000,- per tahun.  Nilai keberadaan ekosistem mangrove yang dinilai adalah Nilai Keaslian = 70 % (lebih dari asli), Nilai Keindahan Alam = 74 % (lebih dari indah), Nilai Kenyamanan = 66% (kondisi lebih dari nyaman),  dan Nilai Aspirasi masyarakat = 98 % (sangat didukung masyarakat). Alternatif  pengelolaan  dan  pemanfaatan  ekosistem  mangrove  yang diperkirakan cocok secara ekonomi dan ekologis terdiri dari beberapa kegiatan pilihan yaitu budidaya ikan, udang, tiram dan kepiting, budidaya ikan kerapu dan kakap, pengolahan buah dan daun mangrove, dan pengembangan obyek wisata.

Mangrove forests are unique ecosystems that have ecological, biological and socio-economic functions. The function of mangrove forests on the environment is very important especially in the coastal and oceanic regions. Mangrove forests providers of wood, leaves as raw material for medicines, and natural dye. This study aims to inventory the diversity of species of mangrove vegetation in Mendalok Village, Sungai Kunyit Subdistrict, Mempawah Regency. The benefits of this study are to provide the data on mangrove forest vegetation as basic data for local government and related agencies in efforts to protect and preserve mangrove forests in Mendalok Village, Sungai Kunyit Subdistrict, Mempawah Regency. Inventory the tree in mangrove forest used a line with measured 200 meters. There are 6 lines and the distance between the lines as far as 100 meters. The lines of observation are placed by purposive sampling. The results of research found 11 types of species and consisted of 6 genera. The genera are Avicennia, Bruguiera, Ceriops, Rhizophora, Soneratia and Xylocarpus. The species found were Avicennia alba, Avicennia marina, Bruguiera cylindrica, Bruguiera gymnorrhiza, Bruguiera parviflora, Ceriops decandra, Rhizophora apiculata, Rhizophora mucronata, Rhizophora stylosa, Sonneratia caseolaris, Xylocarpus mollucensis. Diversity of mangrove species in Mendalok Village, Sungai Kunyit Subdistrict, Mempawah Regency was high and should be maintained for conservation and ecotourism area.

After meeting Tagore in 1912, Andrews was seriously considering moving to Santiniketan to help with Tagore’s school there. He came to visit the Santiniketan school for the first time in March 1913 and then again in July. Tagore was still in England but his elder brother Dwijendranath, who was everybody’s Barodada (elder brother), lived in Santiniketan. He and Andrews were greatly drawn to one another as the joyous letters Andrews wrote from his visits to the school convey. Andrews moved to Santiniketan in 1914 on leaving missionary service altogether. Another former missionary William Pearson was also teaching at Santiniketan. In November 1914 Gandhi’s boys from the Phoenix School also came to Santiniketan after leaving South Africa. On 12 November 1914 Pearson wrote to Gandhi: ‘Your big family arrived here last Saturday from the Gurukul all very well and happy.’

We discuss observations of a highly-circularly polarized multiply-impulsive microwave burst detected by the Very Large Array and the Phoenix Digital Radio Spectrometer. The VLA was used to resolve the burst in two dimensions, while PHOENIX provided high time resolution information about its spectral properties. During part of the burst, positive frequency drifts were detected, suggesting inwardly propagating beams of electrons emitting Type III-like radiation.
