Abstract:
Mangroves are a vital coastal ecosystem with essential functions such as absorbing carbon dioxide (CO2) and producing oxygen (O2). They also serve as habitats for various marine species, providing shelter and food sources for small fish. Additionally, extensive mangrove forests are often home to terrestrial animals like monkeys and birds. Damage to mangrove ecosystems can lead to declining air quality, pollution, and unchecked nutrient runoff into the sea, harming sensitive marine ecosystems like seagrass beds and coral reefs. The gradual destruction of these ecosystems will ultimately impact aquatic life. The construction of Eco-City on Rempang Island follows an environmentally friendly concept. However, if development and human activities are not adequately managed, they could harm the ecosystem. This research focuses on assessing the impact of development on the sustainability of mangrove forests within the Rempang Eco-City development plan. A qualitative research approach is employed, using a systematic literature review (SLR) method. The data sources referenced in this research include relevant literature such as journals, research reports, proceedings, legal regulations, books, and other related materials.
