Abstract

Purpose. Mangrove ecosystems have a protective function; they support high biodiversity and protect endemic/rare/endangered species. For these reasons, they are essential on a regional, national, and even world scale. The protected zone in the coastal region of Bungus Bay, Padang City, Indonesia is located in the coastal and river boundaries. It provides coastal protection for the coastal disaster-prone region. This research aims to determine the suitability of mangrove ecosystems as a protected zone in the coastal region of Bungus Bay based on land-use changes.

Methods and Results. The research method is based on the assessment of biophysical parameters and the suitability of mangroves as a protected zone. The remote sensing data from Landsat imagery with the Geographic Information System (GIS) have been used as a primary research tool. The research results reveal that the mangrove area of 111.67 ha is unsuitable and the area of 102.1 ha is suitable for the protected zone.

Conclusions. The unsuitable zone resulted from the land clearing in Labuhan Tarok village for the construction of a crude Palm Oil (CPO) plant which damaged the health of the coastal ecosystem and left it vulnerable to coastal disasters.
