One of the problems related to mangrove forest degradation is the uncontrolled increase in the Ardeidae family bird population in the coastal area of the Mahakam Delta within the Pertamina Hulu Mahakam concession area. These birds do not have adequate places at night to perch or rest. The results revealed that the quiet state of the platform during the day and the warmth at night encouraged birds from the family of Ardeidae to occupy the platform. Habitat restoration is integrally needed by planting mangrove vegetation in the region, as recommended in previous research. After the birds are forced away from the Platform (GTS Ax)area, the existing natural mangrove areas must be prepared with appropriate artificial nesting sites
