Abstract

This study examines the past and summarizes the main findings of 35 studies on managing mangrove ecosystems in Indonesia published between 2018 and 2022.

In addition, the words that have become dominant are ecosystem, forestry, and biodiversity. The limitations and gaps identified include aspects of tourist areas, the use of remote sensing, and quantitative and qualitative approaches that can provide knowledge for advancing mangrove ecosystem management studies in the future. Highlights The use of the R method in visualizing some information resulting from the integration of literature on mangrove ecosystem management, which has not been found in Indonesia Identification of research gaps in the form of deficiencies regarding mangrove ecosystem management Several thing that must be carried out in future research regarding mangrove eocosystem management
