Diversity of Gastropods in The Mangrove Forest Area of Ujung Kulon National Park

A study on gastropod diversity in Ujung Kulon National Park's mangrove forests revealed 20 species from seven families, with medium diversity levels. Station 1 exhibited the highest diversity index (2.03), while Station 3 had the lowest (1.56). The average gastropod abundance was 273 individuals per square meter. Sampling employed line transect and purposive methods under low tide conditions across three stations, each with five 1x1 m² plots spaced 10 meters apart. Conducted in May-June 2021, the research analyzed diversity, dominance, evenness, and abundance indices to assess gastropod distribution and richness in this coastal ecosystem.
