Berakit Village community groups consisting of the Srikandi Community Supervisory Group (Pokmaswas), the Melati and Tenggiri Women's Economic Business Group (KUEP) and the Panglong Community Business Group have taken the initiative to nurture 50,000 Rhizophora Stylosa mangrove seedlings as a concrete step in preserving coastal ecosystems. This nursery activity is a series of women's empowerment programs and mangrove ecosystem restoration in Berakit Village. This effort is also done as a response to the increasing coastal abrasion, environmental degradation, and climate change impacts that threaten the lives of coastal communities. With a healthy mangrove ecosystem, it is hoped that coastal areas can be protected from erosion and remain a habitat for various marine life that plays a role in the balance of the ecosystem

The nursery process begins with the collection of seeds from healthy mother trees around the coastal area of Berakit Village. The collected seeds are then selected to ensure only good quality ones are used in the nursery. After going through the selection stage, the seeds are sown in polybags or special containers containing a mixture of soil and sand with the appropriate moisture content so that they are able to grow optimally. Seeding is done in an area close to the planting location to facilitate the transportation process when planting later. For approximately 3 to 6 months, the seedlings are well cared for through growth monitoring, as well as protection from pests and diseases. After reaching a height of about 50-70 cm, the mangrove seedlings are then moved to the planting site. 

This mangrove nursery and planting program has enormous benefits, both ecologically and socio-economically. From an environmental perspective, the presence of mangroves is able to withstand sea waves and tidal currents so as to prevent abrasion and reduce the risk of seawater intrusion into the land. In addition, mangroves provide an important habitat for various species of fish, crabs, shrimps and coastal birds, thus indirectly supporting the survival of local fishermen who depend on marine products. From a social perspective, this activity provides an opportunity for the community to improve their skills in nursery and coastal ecosystem rehabilitation. Not only that, economic benefits can also be felt through the development of mangrove-based ecotourism and various creative businesses that utilize mangrove-derived products, such as processed food or drinks made from mangroves. 

The nursery of 50,000 Rhizophora Stylosa seedlings is supported by various parties, including the Berakit Village government, Ecology Foundation Riau Island, together with partners Yayasan Care Peduli and Traveloka. Through cooperation and mutual assistance, this program is expected to be the first step in building collective awareness about the importance of protecting the environment. With a greener and more sustainable coastal ecosystem, the benefits will not only be felt by the current community, but also by future generations who will continue to depend on the preservation of nature. This initiative is proof that with commitment and community involvement, mangrove conservation is not just a discourse, but a real movement that can provide positive changes for the environment and life.
