ANALISIS VEGETASI HUTAN MANGROVE DI KAWASAN MUARA SUNGAI SERUKAM KABUPATEN BENGKAYANG
ABSTRACT: The mangrove forest
is one of the natural resources of the coastal area that serves to control the
increase of boundary between groundwater level and seawater level inland

erosion or abrasion. The research aimed to find out the composition and types
of mangrove forest vegetation in the area of Serukam River estuary, Bengkayang
