Estuarine biota education for students in Sungsang Village, Banyuasin Regency, South Sumatra

Abstract

Coastal communities, including those in Sungsang Village, Banyuasin Regency, South Sumatra, often do not understand information about estuary flora and fauna. In fact, this knowledge is important for sustainable use of natural resources. Estuarine biota education aims to increase student's awareness and knowledge about the types of estuarine plants and animals and how to optimally use them without damaging the environment. The target of this activity is the 30 students of SMAN 1 Banyuasin II who are part of the Sungsang Village community. The delivery methods used are lectures, educational games, and discussions. Observations during the activity showed high enthusiasm from the participants. This is reflected in their active participation in games and discussions. Feedback from students and teachers also shows that the material presented is relevant and presented in an interesting way. However, some students suggested improvements in the provision of visual materials and visual aids to better clarify the concepts being taught.
