Penerapan Selongsong Bambu Gantung sebagai Teknologi Rehabilitasi Mangrove Berbasis Partisipasi Masyarakat

Mangrove rehabilitation in the Bulu Cindea Mangrove Tourism Area, Pangkep Regency, faces physical disturbances from waves, tidal currents, and marine debris. This community service program aimed to apply hanging bamboo sleeves as an initial seedling protection method through community participation. The approach combined outreach, demonstrations, hands-on mentoring, sleeve construction, and planting of 60 Rhizophora seedlings on 26 July 2026. Initial monitoring took place from 27 July to 3 August 2026 using visual observations and photographic documentation. The application combined bamboo sleeves suspended from a supporting frame with practical community mentoring. During the observation period, the structures remained in position, most seedlings appeared upright, and some leaves showed yellowing. Marine debris was observed on the outer structures. These findings describe initial implementation under the observed conditions; they do not establish a survival rate or superiority over other planting methods. Stage-specific participant counts and pre-intervention seedling mortality data were unavailable for analysis. The method offers a practical basis for further community-based trials. Monitoring for at least six months, baseline measurements, and comparable planting treatments are recommended to evaluate survival, growth, and structural durability.
