Marine Life Features and Their Transmissibility Through Broadcasting

Avid readers find in literature real or imaginary scenarios, which are written in such a way that make them visit the portrayed places. The same goes for films, or documentary series, where the narrator plays a fundamental role in captivating the viewer. Both means are inductors of cultural and/or nature tourism, regardless of everyone's personal motivations. The transmission of values is important and varies over time. In the past some marine animals were perceived negatively by humans, which has faded over time. Ecotourism with activities related to the sea is a relatively recent tourism niche. Nature films or series are often boosters of impulses in tourists for the search for natural, unexplored places or places with little human pressure. Some tourist activities in the nature tourism line developed all over the world—from this induction—such as the cases of diving and observation of marine animals.

Edukasi Eksistensi dan Keberlanjutan Ekosistem Hutan Mangrove untuk Remaja

Indonesia has 3.4 million hectares or 24% of the world's 13.8 million hectares of mangrove forests. In its development, Indonesia's mangrove area continues to decline and it is recorded that an area of ​​637,624 hectares (18.95%) is in critical condition due to canopy cover which is less than 60%. Mangrove forests can absorb large waves including tsunamis, prevent abrasion, absorb carbon dioxide 5 times greater than tropical forests in the highlands, and are a habitat for several types of wildlife. Thus, Indonesia has a very significant role in the existence and sustainability of the world's mangrove forests. Based on 2018 data, DKI Jakarta Province has 300 hectares or about 10.7% of the total mangrove forest in Indonesia which is spread in the Angke Kapuk Nature Park, Muara Angke Wildlife Sanctuary, Angke Kapuk Protection Forest and Kamal Muara Production Forest as well as part of the last remaining mangrove forest in DKI Jakarta province. Based on this phenomenon, efforts are needed to maintain the existence and sustainability of mangrove forests, especially in the city of Jakarta. One of the important actors in this effort is the youth with growing awareness of environmental issues. Teenagers as future milestone holders need to understand the importance of the existence and sustainability of mangrove forests. The problem faced is the need for an educational activity that is by the characteristics of adolescents. Therefore, the implementing team initiated education on the existence and sustainability of the mangrove forest ecosystem for youth (12-24 years old) in Tanjung Gedong Village who are members of the At-Taufiq Tanjung Gedong Mosque Youth with an Experiential Learning Discovery Journey approach which was carried out in 3 (three) stages, namely the introduction stage by providing infographics and videographics materials, the observation stage with a visit to the Mangrove Nature Tourism Park, Angke Kapuk, North Jakarta; and the reflection stage through reflection instruments filled out by partners. Based on the results of the activity, it is known that all respondents have theoretical experience about the existence and sustainability of mangrove forests obtained from the school. Community service activities (PkM) provide new experiences in the creative process to understand the topic of PkM, namely the existence and sustainability of mangrove forest ecosystems in Jakarta. Abstrak Indonesia memiliki 3,4 juta hektar atau 24% dari total 13,8 juta hektar hutan mangrove dunia. Dalam perkembangannya, luas mangrove Indonesia terus mengalami penurunan dan tercatat seluas 637.624 hektar (18,95%) dalam kondisi kritis karena penutupan tajuk yang kurang dari 60%. Hutan mangrove bermanfaat untuk meredam gelombang besar termasuk tsunami, mencegah abrasi, menyerap karbondioksida 5 kali lebih besar daripada hutan tropis di dataran tinggi, dan sebagai habitat bagi beberapa jenis satwa liar. Dengan demikian, Indonesia memiliki peranan yang sangat signifikan bagi eksistensi dan keberlanjutan hutan mangrove dunia. Berdasarkan data tahun 2018, Propinsi DKI Jakarta memiliki 300 hektar atau sekitar 10,7% dari total hutan mangrove di Indonesia yang tersebar di Taman Wisata Alam Angke Kapuk, Suaka Margasatwa Muara Angke, Hutan Lindung Angke Kapuk dan Hutan Produksi Kamal Muara sekaligus merupakan bagian dari hutan mangrove terakhir yang tersisa di provinsi DKI Jakarta. Berdasarkan fenomena tersebut, maka diperlukan upaya untuk menjaga eksistensi dan keberlanjutan hutan mangrove khususnya di Kota Jakarta. Salah satu aktor penting dalam upaya tersebut adalah kalangan remaja dengan tumbuhnya kesadaran akan isu lingkungan. Remaja sebagai pemegang tonggak masa depan perlu memahami pentingnya eksistensi dan keberlanjutan hutan mangrove. Permasalahan yang dihadapi adalah perlunya sebuah kegiatan edukasi yang sesuai dengan karakteristik bagi remaja. Oleh karena itu, tim pelaksana menginisiasi edukasi eksistensi dan keberlanjutan ekosistem hutan mangrove bagi remaja (berusia 12 – 24 tahun) di Kampung Tanjung Gedong yang tergabung dalam Remaja Masjid At-Taufiq Tanjung Gedong dengan pendekatan Experiential Learning Discovery Journey yang dilaksanakan dalam 3 (tiga) tahap, yaitu tahap pengenalan dengan memberikan materi infografis dan videografis, tahap observasi dengan kunjungan ke Taman Wisata Alam Mangrove, Angke Kapuk, Jakarta Utara; dan tahap refleksi melalui instrumen refleksi yang diisi oleh mitra. Berdasarkan hasil kegiatan, diketahui seluruh responden telah memiliki pengalaman teoretis tentang eksistensi dan keberlanjutan hutan mangrove yang diperoleh dari bangku sekolah. Kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat (PkM) memberikan pengalaman baru dalam proses kreatif untuk memahami topik PkM yaitu eksistensi dan keberlanjutan ekosistem hutan mangrove di Jakarta.
