Abstract

Komunitas mangrove menempati area diantara darat dan laut yang memiliki kondisi lingkungan berbeda satu sama lain. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui struktur vegetasi mangrove dan mengetahui kesesuaian jenis mangrove yang sesuai untuk perencanaan program rehabilitasi mangrove di Desa Bayeman Kecamatan Tongas dan Desa Pesisir Kecamatan Sumberasih Kabupaten Probolinggo. Penelitian dilakukan pada Bulan Maret 2015 sampai Januari 2016. Pengambilan data vegetasi dilakukan dengan metode purposive sampling dan setiap transek dibuat plot sampling. Setiap individu pohon (plot 10 m x 10 m) dan sapling (anakan) (subplot 5 m x 5 m) diidentifikasi dan diukur diameternya setinggi dada (±1,3 m). Sementara seedling (semai) dihitung jumlah masing-masing spesies dan persentase penutupannya (subplot 1 m x 1 m). Hasil penelitian di Desa Bayeman ditemukan 7 spesies mangrove dan 1 jenis spesies di Desa Pesisir. Vegetasi pohon mangrove di Desa Bayeman dan Desa Pesisir berada dalam kondisi baik. Vegetasi Mangrove di Desa Bayeman didominasi spesies Xylocarpus mollucensis dan untuk Desa Pesisir adalah Avicennia marina.
