Mangrove ecosystems in Indonesia show great promise in contributing to climate change mitigation, but they continue to experience significant degradation primarily because of aquaculture conversion. This work analyzes the mangrove governance in Indonesia and how it fits the country's high emission reduction. The study is mainly based on the analysis of existing regulations, interviews with relevant stakeholders, focus group discussions, and series of executive lectures from high-level government officials. Results indicate overlapping authority claims by government institutions stemming from the absence of strong regulations specifically dedicated to mangrove management and conservation. Different government institutions have varied philosophical conceptions and development priorities for sustainably managing and conserving mangroves. This study identifies specific operational regulations that potentially undermine synergies across institutions for mangrove ecosystems. The conflicting regulations relate to coastal reclamation activities, management of mangroves in non-forest zones, and expansion of commercial aquaculture. In addition, several emerging policies, which are anticipated to further encourage ecosystem degradation, are discussed. This work then provides recommendations that can be adopted to foster an improved management and conservation of mangrove ecosystems, with the far-reaching aim to support the country's goals to reduce its carbon emissions. These recommendations include improved orchestrations of policy priorities of different institutions, including the active participation of local communities in the protection and conservation of mangroves.

印度尼西亚的红树林生态系统在减缓气候变化方面显示出巨大的希望，但主要由于水产养殖的转变，它们继续经历显着退化。这项工作分析了印度尼西亚的红树林治理以及它如何适应该国的高减排。该研究主要基于对现有法规的分析、与相关利益相关者的访谈、焦点小组讨论以及高级政府官员的一系列高管讲座。结果表明，由于缺乏专门针对红树林管理和保护的强有力法规，政府机构的权力主张重叠。不同的政府机构对于可持续地管理和保护红树林有着不同的哲学概念和发展重点。本研究确定了可能破坏红树林生态系统跨机构协同作用的具体操作法规。相互冲突的法规涉及沿海开垦活动、非林区红树林的管理以及商业水产养殖的扩张。此外，还讨论了一些预计将进一步鼓励生态系统退化的新兴政策。然后，这项工作提供了建议，可用于促进改进红树林生态系统的管理和保护，其深远的目标是支持该国减少碳排放的目标。这些建议包括改进不同机构政策优先事项的协调，包括当地社区积极参与红树林保护和保护。
