Abstract: – The study focused on presenting and manipulating mangroves data and support the decision making of the admin through the system entitled Mangroves Profiling and Decisions Support System. The study will shows patial or geographic data of Mangroves in Brgy. Burayan, Paraiso, and Kataisan San Jose, Tacloban City in terms of the status of mangrove trees and species composition of mangroves in different sites. The study used descriptive and developmental method research in this study. The research locale of the study is Brgy. Burayan, Paraiso, and Kataisan, San Jose, Tacloban City. DENR (CENRO) office of Palo Leyte serves as the beneficiary. The study showed the location of the different species and conditions of the mangroves in the barangay. It also provided information to the DENR the area of the barangays were mangroves are needed to be planted due to deforestation. The researcher concluded that the system is capable of using in a way that the system gives precise information to the admin and viewer. It is of significance for the admin to support the decision-making through the encoded data. Pertinent and concise information necessary is in the developed system. The system is appropriate for use because of its high security in keeping data for an extended period.
I. INTRODUCTION
Nowadays mangrove is very important especially to the humans and a variety of coastal organisms documented. Mangroves reviewed as supporting numerous ecosystem services including flood protection, nutrient and organic matter processing, sediment control, and fisheries.
Mangrove ecosystem is composed of plant communities found between the lowest and the highest tide level of the estuarine and riverine systems (Mastaller, 2007) as cited by Wah, Mojiol, and Saleh (2011). It is a significant habitat for sustaining biodiversity and provides direct and indirect benefits to human activities. Storm protection, shore stabilization, and control of soil erosion and flooding, nursery ground of aquatic life and carbon sinks are the primary environmental services offered by the mangrove trees.
