Universitas Terbuka
The embrace of Tri Dharma of Higher Education, particularly when it
comes to the core value of community service, promulgates a
landmark decision by Universitas Terbuka to contribute to
environmental development through its commitment to advocating
government’s one-billion-tree scheme as previously shown from
Figure. 1 to Figure. 3 This commitment is also visible in UT Go Green,
an environmentally friendly concept that also incorporates mangrove
restoration efforts. These efforts are not only about restocking trees,
but also about nurturing their growth into viable ecosystems to ensure
that the associated organisms thrive well in the ecosystem. The
commitment is firmly instilled in Universitas Terbuka, particularly in
UPBJJ UT Makassar, which manifests in the implementation of
community-based mangrove planting project in 2012 followed by the
independent mangrove replantation in 2014.
3.3 The Importance of Mangrove Plantation Program in The
Sustainable Conservation of Fisheries Resources in
Tekolabbua Village
Within the next ten years, the mangrove-planting project has had
substantial effects on the ecosystem. Interview results with the chief
of Tani Nelayan Mandiri, Ir. Hamzah (2020), provide evidence of how
successful the effort has been and what benefits it has yielded.

3.3.1 Ecological Benefits
There are various indicators that identify more fish species in the
location. The planting area has become a viable ecosystem that
supports the survival of various marine species in the waters around
the mangroves where nursery, spawning and feeding occur. This
finding is consistent with several prior studies. A study in Badung River
Mangrove Park found 14 fish species from 14 families and 7 orders
[9]. 9 families including Ambasidae, Riidae, Mugilidae,
Tetraodontidae, Phallostethidae, Drepanidae, Gobiidae,
Aplocheilidae and Syngnatidae were found based on a study in
Sayung Demak located in Bedoro Village [10]. A study in the waters
of Sajoanging Subdistrict in Wajo Regency identified 7 families. i.e.,
