Based on ICS values, R. mucronata has the highest </em><em>ICS</em><em> value of 708 as an environmental indicator (340)</em><em>,</em><em> building materials (320)</em><em> and firewood (48)</em><em>. A. marina, with ICS scores of 114 uses for medicines (108), and S. alba the ICS is 54, </em><em>especially as </em><em>betel substitute (12). The community uses the mangroves as environmental indicators, firewood and construction materials, medicines, agricultural activities, related to myths, betel substitutes, making salt, boat materials, syrup, and livestock feed.</em></p> <p><strong><em>&nbsp;</em></strong></p&gt;}, number={3}, journal={Jurnal Ilmu dan Teknologi Kelautan Tropis}, author={RupidaraAnggreini D.N. and TiseraWilson L. and LedoMellissa E.
