Please welcome to our new plantation location.

Marine Nature Conservation for the Country (LATUN) is an official association (legal entity) in Indonesia that is concerned with efforts to manage Indonesia's coastal and marine resources in a sustainable and participatory manner. This is based on concerns about the condition of the sea and the status of coastal communities who use coastal and marine areas together with various interests. The more pressured by various human activities, the more threatened by the pressure of development. Meanwhile, the management pattern carried out is still not effective. The Indonesian people cannot and should no longer stand idly by. The capacity and resources are more than sufficient to be able to protect Indonesia's coastal and marine resources. It is time to work hand in hand, move together, care for, manage and guard Indonesia with the spirit of red and white and mutual cooperation towards the welfare of local communities in sovereign coastal and marine areas. Various strategic initiatives are needed that can encourage and harmonize various actions and movements in the field that have been separated so far, becoming the collective contribution of the nation's children to better manage Indonesia's coasts and seas.

Marine Nature Conservation for the Country (LATUN), tries to be a strategic partner. LATUN was founded on March 1, 2018 by several Founders, namely Ari Anggoro, Riki Rahmansyah, Eko Sumartono, Marsellina Fitri and Bayu Syahrera in Bengkulu. LATUN is projected to stand in the middle, not to be a mouthpiece or an accomplice to the government and not to be a party to blindly criticizing all government policies and programs. LATUN chooses to be a constructive reminder for the government, and related parties through its various actions, as well as being a working partner to encourage strategic best practices in sustainable and sovereign coastal and marine management.

DIGITALMANGROVE.ID in collaboration with The Center for Study and Empowerment of Marine and Fishery Resources (Pusaran KP), participating in Decentralised Development Lab, an incubator program event sponsored by The Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH. The project title called “Green Mussel For Mangrove Restoration And Greenbelt Protection (GeMaPro)”.

As the project leader, Prof. Dr. Ir. Sri Rejeki, M.Sc explained that this project is the follow-up of the Associated Mangrove Aquaculture (AMA) program for mangrove restoration organized by Building with Nature Indonesia (BwNI). Located in Onggojoyo and Tambakbulusan Village, Demak Region, Central Java, Indonesia, this project focus to develop additional revenue source for artisanal fishermen, who have successfully implemented AMA. This project provides bamboo construction in coastal waters in waterfront mangroves for green mussels attachment.

The greenbelt of mangrove restoration improves the pond water quality, increases the nutrients in the coastal water, thus rich in the natural food for mussels. Mangrove is also considered a biofilter due to its root’s ability to absorb pollutants includes heavy metals. Green mussels were previously considered to have no economic value. Since 2018, green mussels had been taken into account as a fishery commodity because their price is increasing. The price of green mussels increased from IDR 8,000 per kg in 2018 to IDR 15,000 per kg in 2020. Green mussels attach naturally to bamboo construction in the mangrove ecosystem area. The mussels grow well because the surrounding water is rich in natural food. The mussels are also safe for consumption because mangrove roots can absorb pollutants including heavy metals.

Better Together Indonesia Foundation, DIGITALMANGROVE.ID, The University of Papua, Center for the Study and Empowerment of Marine and Fishery Resources (PusaranKP), and The Directorate General P4K Indonesian Ministry of Marine and Fisheries Affairs, held a webinar course in Mangrove Carbon Stock Assessment.

As the keynote speaker, Dr. Eng Hendri, S.Si, M.Si from the Forestry Faculty of the University of Papua presented his study case on mangrove carbon stock assessment in Kaimana dan Buruway, West Papua Province. The transaction cost covers almost 40% of economic potential, which makes it difficult for early-stage small-scale carbon offset to have the baseline. Transaction cost consists of project research cost, feasibility study, negotiations, insurance, regulatory approval, monitoring, and verification.

A methodology using Above-Ground Biomass (AGB) and Below-Ground Biomass (BGB) surprisingly, showing a larger amount of carbon absorbed underground than the upper layer. This condition can affect the calculation of carbon offset, which so far has only been based on the amount of carbon absorbed by the leaves. The diversity around the mangrove area is also calculated which could become value-added to the carbon price.

DIGITALMANGROVE.ID participated in the PRESENTING THE FUTURE OF CARBON MARKET INDONESIA event. This webinar provides a lot of information related to the latest regulations, policies, stock exchange, the 2023 Carbon Border Adjustment (CBA), Non-Trade Barrier (NTA) issue, Indonesia First concept, and national and international carbon credit standardization (SNI).

Indonesia still needs to figure out its position either as Net Exporter or Net Importer Carbon offset. Both must be exercised multiparty to develop the policies in trajectory for the next 20-30 years ahead. The issuance of a presidential regulation on the economic value of carbon/carbon pricing, using market-based instruments, namely trading instruments, and non-trading instruments.

Trading instruments consist of cap and trade and offsetting mechanisms, while non-trading instruments include a carbon tax. The cap and trade trading instrument, also known as mandatory, is an instrument in which each country or company tries to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions according to the specified upper limit. Meanwhile, voluntary trading instruments are instruments where a country, company, or individual wants to reduce emissions according to the upper limit specified, but does not need official and legally binding requirements. Meanwhile, the offsetting mechanism is an instrument in which the state, company, or individual who has a land consensus and accredited carbon credit (Gold Standard, Verra, etc.), sells its carbon credit either through the stock exchange, mandatory or voluntary carbon market. The implementation of the carbon tax will make Indonesia equal with developed countries that have implemented carbon tax policies, such as the UK, Japan, and Singapore.

The issues that must be resolved by DIGITALMANGROVE.ID is obtaining consensus permits for coastal areas for the development of mangrove conservation, registering carbon credit projects with accredited institutions (Verra), starting an offline conservation project by involving local communities as well as ensuring that carbon offsets have the right Key Performance Index to measure their impact on the welfare of communities around the area.

Have Your Own Mangrove Tree Initiative

In Indonesia, 0.6 M Ha of documented mangroves have been converted into shrimp ponds, illegal logging by the locals, and palm estate. Mangrove ecosystems are a habitat and nursery grounds for various plants and animals and can absorb four times more carbon than tropical upland forests.

Mangrove conservation in Indonesia is now developed using a community-based participatory approach. The Ecological is carried out in harmony with Economical and Educational impact. Mangrove conservation is integrated with the Marine Village-Based Tourism program, a concept where the coastal community develops their mangroves not just for conservation but also tourism purposes i.e: mangrove plantation trips, bird watching, and culinary center.

Due to the pandemic, the number of tourists decreased significantly and mangrove tourism is no longer profitable to improve the community income. Digitalization could help them raise income while maintaining the mangrove ecosystem at the same time.

DIGITALMANGROVE.ID is a project initiative to involve the public in the environment act to reduce carbon emissions, through a digital mangrove plantation website.

Donators can participate and have their own tree by donating 36K Rupiah/€2.3/USD2.5 through the website (https://www.digitalmangrove.id), and we will plant the tree at the available location in Indonesia. We track the coordinate, fill the tree donator information on the apps (MAP MARKER), and send the update every month. Donators get an e-certificate and access to monitor the tree in real-time.
