PT. Pertamina Hulu Energy Offshore North West Java (PHE ONWJ) conducted a mangrove restoration program in Sedari village as part of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) program. The program is named Orang Tua Asuh Pohon (OTAP). OTAP aims to restore the degradation of mangrove in the village as well as to develop capacity of local community in mangrove conservation. The activities started in 2012, comprising of planting mangrove at Sedari riverbank, and the coastal area as buffer zone (green belt) to prevent abrasion. The first plantation activity was unsuccessful. The failure planting happened was due to lack of knowledge about how to plant the mangrove in appropriate way and also lack coordination with local governments, both district and province. Learning from the failure planting, the initial coastal planted mangrove covering an area of 0,05 ha was conducted in 2013 to provide experiences as learning process for local community to plan mangrove in appropriate way. The program continues with the next implementation program at the area of 2,7 ha of abandoned fish ponds owned by local community. The implementation result showed that the most planted mangrove survived (55.28%). This paper reviews the changing of managerial aspects of mangrove ecosystem in Sedari village. The collaboration between the private sector, local government and community empowerment are particularly important factor in the success of mangrove restoration. The sustainability beyond the program period is expected to be implemented by the role of local government including development of alternative livelihood for local community.

Sayung coast is experienced very high coastal erosion and has a huge impact on the lives of the surrounding communities. One of the efforts in handling coastal erosion is the rehabilitation of the mangrove ecosystem.The purpose of this study was to prioritize mangrove ecosystem management strategies in rehabilitation areas. Data were collected from three coastal villages, namely, Bedono, Timbulsloko, and Surodadi, through in-depth interviews, questionnaires, and field observations. The data analysis was carried out using the Analytical Network Process (ANP) method. The result showed that the priority problems in the mangrove ecosystem management on the Sayung coast were: conversion of mangrove land, failure of mangroves to grow, lack of monitoring and supervision. Therefore, the priority solution for optimizing mangrove ecosystem management is rehabilitation and conservation, increasing community participation, and monitoring by involving the community.

Mangrove forests in North Sumatera, Indonesia existed in the east coast of Sumatera Island and commonly found in Serdang Bedagai, Deli Serdang, Batubara, Tanjung Balai, Asahan, Labuhanbatu until Langkat. The effect of rehabilitated mangrove on socio-cultural of Pulau Sembilan society, Langkat, North Sumatra, Indonesia was studied. The rehabilitation was carried on May 2015 using indirect planting of 2,100 Rhizophora apiculata seedlings. Two times of observations, May and August 2015 were made to monitor and evaluate 400 rehabilitated seedlings. Sixty of 600 households were surveyed using Slovin formula to obtain community perspective on the socio-cultural impact of mangrove rehabilitation. Results showed that the growth of R. apiculata seedlings were 73.3% during four months observations. The restoration affected 65, 58.3 and 35 % of economic, social, and cultural of Pulau Sembilan society, respectively. The perspective of community on the land-use change led to 66.7% was disagreed that mangroves to be converted, 60% respondents stated that mangrove condition was degraded even worse than previously existed. Therefore, to resolve the degraded mangrove, community perspective on rehabilitation was needed (85.5%) and actively involved (88.3%). The present results suggested that the high recommendation for a rehabilitation program for the degraded area was by integrating the stake holders (government, university, and non-governmental organization) and local communities count on the mangrove ecosystems.

Mangrove rehabilitation in the west coast of Aceh: issues and perspectives
NAGA, 2006
The condition of mangroves pre-and post-tsunami and the socioeconomic role of mangrove forests in the livelihoods of coastal communities along the west coast of Aceh province, Indonesia are examined. The findings indicate that community livelihoods are significantly linked to the mangrove ecosystem. However, most of the mangrove rehabilitation programs are conservation orientated, aimed primarily at land conservation, and are not necessarily linked with livelihood options for local people or integrated resource management. This is a cause for concern as rehabilitation will only succeed when conservation measures are balanced with local community needs to obtain sustainable benefits from the rehabilitated systems. The rehabilitation efforts do involve the communities to a certain extent, but a more holistic and integrated approach needs to be adopted to ensure better management and sustainability of the rehabilitated mangrove forests.
