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.
