Putri Munira. (2025). Sebaran Spesies Mangrove di Daerah Pesisir Pantai Ladong Kecamatan Mesjid Raya, Kabupaten Aceh Besar. [Skripsi. Universitas Syiah Kuala]. Dibawah bimbingan Prof. Dr. Djufri, M.Si., dan Dr. Vivera Ruselli Puspa, S.Pd., M.Pd.

Mangrove merupakan kelompok tumbuhan yang tumbuh di daerah pesisir pada zona pasang surut dan memiliki peran penting sebagai penahan abrasi, peredam gelombang, habitat biota perairan, serta pendukung kehidupan masyarakat pesisir. Penelitian bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi spesies mangrove, mengetahui pola sebarannya, dan menganalisis persepsi masyarakat terhadap konservasi mangrove di pesisir Pantai Ladong Kecamatan Mesjid Raya, Kabupaten Aceh Besar. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan mixed methods dengan metode survei vegetasi menggunakan Line Transect Plot dengan ukuran 10×10 m untuk kategori pohon, 5×5 m untuk pancang, dan 2×2 m untuk semai, yang ditempatkan pada tiga stasiun dengan perbedaan kondisi lingkungan, serta wawancara terstruktur kepada 15 responden menggunakan teknik purposive sampling. Hasil dari penelitian ditemukan 6 spesies mangrove dari 5 familia. Rhizophora apiculata dan Rhizophora mucronata tersebar di seluruh stasiun, sedangkan Avicennia marina, Excoecaria agallocha, Lumnitzera racemosa, dan Nypa fruticans memiliki sebaran terbatas sesuai kondisi habitat. Persepsi masyarakat tergolong positif, dengan kesadaran akan manfaat ekologis dan ekonomi mangrove serta dukungan terhadap pelestarian melalui penanaman kembali, larangan penebangan liar, pembentukan kelompok pengelola, dan partisipasi aktif dalam kegiatan rehabilitasi.

Putri Munira. (2025). Distribution of Mangrove Species in the Coastal Area of Ladong Beach, Masjid Raya District, Aceh Besar Regency. [Script. Universitas Syiah Kuala]. Under direction of Prof. Dr. Djufri, M.Si., and Dr. Vivera Ruselli Puspa, S.Pd., M.Pd. Mangroves are a group of plants that grow in coastal areas in the tidal zone and have an important role as abrasion barriers, wave dampers, aquatic biota habitats, and support the lives of coastal communities. The study aims to identify mangrove species, determine their distribution patterns, and analyze community perceptions of mangrove conservation on the coast of Ladong Beach, Mesjid Raya District, Aceh Besar Regency. The study used a mixed methods approach with a vegetation survey method using Line Transect Plots with dimensions of 10x10 m for the tree category, 5x5 m for saplings, and 2x2 m for seedlings, which were placed at three stations with different environmental conditions, as well as structured interviews with 15 respondents using a purposive sampling technique. The results of the study found 6 mangrove species from 5 families. Rhizophora apiculata and Rhizophora mucronata were distributed throughout the stations, while Avicennia marina, Excoecaria agallocha, Lumnitzera racemosa, and Nypa fruticans had a limited distribution according to habitat conditions. Public perception is positive, with awareness of the ecological and economic benefits of mangroves and support for conservation through replanting, prohibition of illegal logging, formation of management groups, and active participation in rehabilitation activities. Keywords: Mangrove, Species Distribution, Public Perception, Conservation.
