THE ROLE OF MANGROVE MANAGEMENT ACTORS AND STAKEHOLDER INSTITUTIONS IN LUBUK KERTANG VILLAGE

Abstract

This research examines the role of actors and stakeholder institutions in managing mangroves in Lubuk Kertang Village. Mangrove forests are managed based on a social forestry partnership principle license issued by the Ministry of Environment and Forestry. The Mekar Group and several other non-governmental groups, as institutions that have been given management permits, have managed the existing condition of existing mangrove forests. Mangrove forest management involves the participation of local communities as actors in developing mangrove forests into ecotourism areas. This study aims to identify stakeholder actors and institutions and the extent of their respective roles in the management of Lubuk Kertang mangrove ecotourism. The research method used is qualitative by using descriptive analysis to analyze the role of actors and institutions of interest in managing mangrove ecotourism in Lubuk Kertang Village.
