Abstract


Coastal erosion barriers made from coconut shells are an environmentally friendly solution that utilizes coconut shell waste as the main material, which is abundant and has almost no sale value, often considered as trash. Coconut shells, with their natural strength and durability, are used to reduce the rate of erosion caused by sea water abrasion. This technique involves placing coconut shells arranged in a turtle-like formation along coastlines vulnerable to erosion. Additionally, coconut shells can be used in conjunction with coastal vegetation to increase soil stability. The shells can serve as protection and a growing medium for mangrove trees, until the mangroves grow large with strong, spreading roots. The roots of these coastal plants will grow among the coconut shells and further strengthen the protection against erosion. This method is not only ecologically effective but also economical as it uses readily available and inexpensive materials, especially in tropical regions with abundant coconuts. Moreover, the biodegradability of coconut shells allows for natural integration into the environment without polluting or damaging the coastal ecosystem. Another advantage is the success of "carbon neutrality" programs through the development of mangrove forests, which become coastal ecosystems that aid in carbon absorption. Based on ANOVA analysis with p<0.05, it can be concluded that the community service activity regarding the coconut shell turtle formation provides a significant positive impact.
