Abstract

Mangrove is a plant that grows between the tidal lines. Mangrove forest plays important ecological and economical functions, but highly vulnerable to damage if less wise in maintaining, preserving and management. This study had been conducted in mangrove conservation land in the natural tourism area of the Paiton PLTU coastal area of East Java Province. The aims of this study were to find out the structure of the mangrove community and to know the condition of the waters in the mangrove conservation land in the coastal area of the Paiton power plant. The method used was the line transects method and sampling by determining the quadrant location of water conditions sampling. The data was processed with community structure analysis and analysis of pollution indices based on the physical-chemical parameters of the waters. There were 3 mangrove species being identified in mangrove conservation land in the coastal area of the Paiton power plant Is., those are : Rhizophora mucronata, Rhizophora apiculata, and Rhizophora stylosa. Result of the analysis showed mangrove ecosystem was in stable condition yet. It is based on the value of the diversity index in the low category (Tree level H '= 1.01, Stake level H' = 0.83, and Seedling level H '= 0.67). Whereas the important value index shows a high value at the habitus level (Tree = 300) and is classified as moderate at the habitus level (Shrubs = 0.66 and Stakes = 1.00). Environmental factors used based on the physical-chemical parameters of water show values such as temperature 30-32 temperature C, salinity 30-34 ppt, pH 7-8 ˚C, and dissolved oxygen 5-6 mg / L. This value is good enough for mangrove growth.
