Revitalization of Pasir Jambak Beach by Mangrove Cultivation as Ecotourism and Bioconservation Area for Shorebirds

Mangroves provide an ecotourism-based destination that can support mangrove conservation and biodiversity management programs, as well as an important stopover for migrating shorebirds. The importance of mangrove forest habitat for aquatic life functions as an activator of mangrove forests, conservation efforts are needed. Pasir Jambak Beach does not have mangrove vegetation, but has a relatively wide sand substrate along the coastline. Environmental factors other than prey abundance affect species richness and abundance of shorebirds. The richness of shorebirds in the mangrove wetlands is significantly and positively correlated with the mud plain area. Obviously, the vast wetlands are important factors that affect the distribution of shorebirds.
