Survey study reveals substantial economic gains from seaweed cultivation in mangrove waters, suggesting that expanding farm space by ten percent optimizes resource management.

Key Points

To assess the direct economic valuation of mangrove ecosystems for seaweed aquaculture and evaluate whether current farmer management patterns achieve optimal resource utilization.
Conducted a survey-based investigation among seaweed cultivators in two mangrove ecosystem zones: Tanjung Harapan and Mansapa in Nunukan District, Indonesia.
Quantified ecosystem direct benefits and evaluated resource allocation using market value analysis and benefit-cost analysis.
Generated direct benefit values of IDR 10,481,586,441 per ha/year (IDR 873,465,536 per ha/month) in Tanjung Harapan and IDR 1,850,995,241 per ha/year (IDR 155,249,603 per ha/month) in Mansapa, totaling IDR 122,715,139 per ha/month across both sites.
Tanjung Harapan accounted for 85% of total direct benefits, while Mansapa contributed 15%.
Identified existing community management as suboptimal, showing that expanding seaweed cultivation area and reducing external activities by 10% achieves optimal utilization value.
