Abstract:
Mangrove forest ecosystem, has a distinctive characteristics and important ecological functions in coastal areas. This paper describes the system dynamic model of mangrove restoration program at Klawalu Mangrove Park (TWMK) in Sorong Municipality Papua Barat Daya Province. Mangrove vegetation at TWMK is spread and cover two small rivers. TWMK area and its surrounding are about 144.66 ha, which 47.71% from the total area had a very dense vegetation, 24.17% were dense, 16.75% rather dense and about 2.42% had rarely vegetation. Ten primary mangroves are found at TWMK, which Rhizophora apiculate is the dominant species. The mangrove distribution in TWMK is still dense, yet there is still treat of mangrove longing for support economical activities for local people. Thus the system dynamic model will show the extent of mangrove restoration project on carbon stock in TWMK.
