This community service program aims to apply appropriate technology to support mangrove seed processing in Mentawir Village, North Penajam Paser Regency, as an effort to increase the productivity of local communities and environmentally based tourist attractions. This activity involves a series of activities, starting from design, manufacturing, installation, to socializing the use of cutting tools, solar energy-based dryers, and mangrove seed grinders to the community. These tools are designed to overcome the challenges of traditional production processes, such as long drying times, dependence on weather, and limited capacity, thereby increasing efficiency by up to 60% and meeting increasing market demand. This program not only supports local economic development by creating high-value products such as mangrove coffee, but also emphasizes the importance of preserving the mangrove ecosystem through replanting mangrove seedlings. This step aims to maintain the ecological function of mangroves as coastal protection, providing habitat for marine biota, and reducing carbon emissions. With a holistic approach that integrates simple technology, environmental preservation and community empowerment, this program has a real impact on sustainable development in the Indonesian Capital Region (IKN). The success of this program has also become an inspiring model for similar initiatives in other regions to optimize local potential while maintaining a balance between economic and environmental aspects.
Manufacturing and installation of automatic cutting tools for mangroves. Manufacturing and installation of solar energy drying equipment for washed mangroves. Manufacturing and installation of automatic grinding equipment for mangroves as the basic ingredient for mangrove coffee.
This project provides various benefits, both economic, environmental and social. Economically, society can increase productivity by up to 60% with the use of modern technology, allowing them to meet greater market demand. From an environmental perspective, this project helps maintain the balance of the mangrove ecosystem through replanting mangrove seedlings, supporting its ecological function as a coastal protector and carbon sink. Socially, this program empowers local communities by providing skills training and opening up new, sustainable business opportunities.
