Kajian Pertumbuhan Restorasi Mangrove Pada Kawasan Taman Nasional Kutai Kalimantan Timur

Abstract

This research was conducted in the East Kalimantan Kutai National Park (KNP) area. The purpose of this study was to determine the rate of growth of plants on mangrove restoration land in TNK, to find out the relationship between the quality of restoration land and the growth rate of plants on mangrove restoration land in TNK. The research location consisted of 4 (four) Observation Stations namely Observation Station I – II located in Bontang City and Observation Station III - IV in Sangkima Village, East Kutai Regency. This research is a combination of research explaining (explanatory research) and descriptive research (descriptive research). Explanatory research is research that involves testing hypotheses. The results of this study can be summarized as follows: The selection of the restoration area should be adjusted to the type that suits the place to grow. Plant growth rates are influenced by the choice of place to grow and are protected from strong currents. From the results of research at several stations, some of the restoration activities carried out in TNK are not in accordance with the types of plants that grow.
