| The NPM management before mangrove plantation atthe Nongsa river, Monday, April 13. |
The Mangrove tree is a plant that is widely available in the waters around the coastline. The mangrove ecology refers to trees or shrubs that grow around the tropical and subtropical swamp area in most regions in Indonesia.
However, unfortunately, the growth of mangrove forest areas have decreased now. It happened due to several factors, such as a lack of knowledge on the benefits of the mangrove trees provide and how to cultivate them.
In other factors that cause it is the clearing of mangrove forest to be used as a salt and fish farms, as well as the construction of residential housing. Therefore, it is important to maintain the cultivation of the mangrove trees.
“For by the reasons, Nongsa Point Marina and Resort conducted Mangrove planting at the Nongsa River to protect the surrounding environment, marine ecosystems and to prevent the land erosion,” General Manager Of Nongsa Point Marina & Resort (NPM), Erhard M Rueber said on Monday (13/4).
