Abstract
Wedung Village, Wedung District of Demak Regency, experienced severe mangrove deforestation caused by the uncontrolled mangrove cutting for shrimp farming in the early of 90’s. The unsustainable shrimp farming couldn’t last long and causing a severe aquaculture land condition led to a massive collaboration from multi-party to restore the quality of the land. This study aims to determine the pattern of collaboration by multi-parties in conducting mangrove rehabilitation through various techniques, one of them is silvofishery. A case study research method by Yin were used in this study. Our study found that initiation of mangrove rehabilitation from the third party such as Non-governmental Organization (NGO) served as a reformer agent. Silvofishery as an aquaculture method combined with mangrove planting, that promoted by NGO led to short-term income increasing is the most suitable model in the research area. In conclusion, implementation of mangrove rehabilitation from multi-party collaboration with different model contribution such as community assistance, expert supervising, and financial support through silvofishery technique led to an environmental sustainability and increased community income. The sustainability of the silvofishery implementation post initiator assistance, came to be a concern, that need a future exit strategy.
