Mangrove, as one of the potential coastal ecosystems, provides many valuable processes that ensure the availability of goods, and services of provisioning, regulating, and supporting culture. More than a third of the mangrove area has been lost due to the conversion and over-exploitation in the past three decades. The threats to this precious resource, especially those that have not been explored, will impact ecosystem functions and services. Therefore, Universitas Jenderal Soedirman is deeply intense to support the scientific community in providing solutions in managing quality, diversity, and environmental sustainability, including, in this case, mangrove as a unique ecosystem. To formulate the real action, International Conference on Mangrove and Its Related Ecosystems (ICoMIRE-2019) had been organized by the Faculty of Biology, Universitas Jenderal Soedirman, co-hosted by Coordinating Ministry of Maritime Affairs and supported by the Ministry of Research, Technology, and Higher Education and the Ministry of Environment and Forestry of Republic Indonesia.

The ICoMIRE-2019 forum facilitates scientists who are interested in mangrove and its related ecosystems to discuss their findings on biological resources, including biotechnology, for multiple purposes, i.e., to preserve biodiversity while utilizing it for human welfare. It is also a forum to create or strengthen the networks among the scientists, build up partnerships, and exchange ideas with both government and a variety of experienced researchers, practitioners, research institutes, and academia. We accommodate four symposia covering 1) mangrove ecosystem health, 2) mangrove ecosystem management, 3) recent approach to mangrove monitoring, and 4) interrelated mangrove system. The conference program had been preceded by workshops and field trip to the mangrove ecosystem, and also the first congress of establishment Indonesian Mangrove Society.

This conference was attended by speakers and participants from several countries, including Japan, Philippines, Vietnam, Bangladesh, Malaysia, Sudan, and Indonesia. A total of 66 articles have been presented, composed of 56 oral presentations and 10 poster presentations.

We would like to thanks the parties that give great support to the conference. We would like to deliver the highest appreciation to keynote speakers: Jenderal TNI (Purn.) Luhut Binsar Panjaitan, M.P.A. (Coordinating Minister of Maritime Affairs), Dr. Ir. Siti Nurbaya Bakar, M.Sc. (Minister of Environment and Forestry), Dr. Jurgenne H. Primavera (Zoological Society of London – Philippines), Dr. Koji Takayama (Kyoto University, Japan); others invited speakers from Vietnam and Indonesia; and all participants, also steering and organizing committee.

红树林作为潜在的沿海生态系统之一，提供了许多有价值的过程，以确保商品的可用性以及供应、调节和支持文化的服务。由于过去三十年的转变和过度开发，超过三分之一的红树林面积已经消失。对这一宝贵资源的威胁，尤其是那些尚未开发的资源，将影响生态系统的功能和服务。因此，Universitas Jenderal Soedirman 大力支持科学界提供管理质量、多样性和环境可持续性的解决方案，在这种情况下，包括红树林作为一个独特的生态系统。为了制定实际行动，生物学院组织了红树林及其相关生态系统国际会议（ICoMIRE-2019），

ICoMIRE-2019 论坛为对红树林及其相关生态系统感兴趣的科学家提供便利，以讨论他们对生物资源（包括生物技术）的发现，以实现多种目的，即在保护生物多样性的同时将其用于人类福祉。它也是一个论坛，旨在建立或加强科学家之间的网络，建立伙伴关系，并与政府和各种有经验的研究人员、从业人员、研究机构和学术界交流思想。我们举办了四场研讨会，涵盖 1）红树林生态系统健康，2）红树林生态系统管理，3）红树林监测的最新方法，以及 4）相互关联的红树林系统。会议计划之前有红树林生态系统的研讨会和实地考察，以及成立印度尼西亚红树林协会的第一次大会。

来自日本、菲律宾、越南、孟加拉国、马来西亚、苏丹和印度尼西亚等多个国家的演讲者和与会者出席了本次会议。共发表论文66篇，包括56篇口头报告和10篇海报展示。

我们要感谢对会议给予大力支持的各方。我们谨向主题演讲者致以最崇高的敬意：Jenderal TNI (Purn.) Luhut Binsar Panjaitan，MPA（海事协调部长），Ir. 博士。Siti Nurbaya Bakar，理学硕士 （环境和林业部长），Jurgenne H. Primavera 博士（伦敦动物学会 - 菲律宾）， Koji Takayama 博士（日本京都大学）；其他人邀请了来自越南和印度尼西亚的演讲者；以及所有参与者，还有指导和组委会。
