One of the potential plants as a phytoremediator is Rhyzophora mucronata. This research is an experiment as an application of LAS pollutant control by Rhyzophora Mucronata (R. Mucronata) plants in waters. After acclimatization and preliminary tests, the implementation of LAS phytoremediation tests by R. Mucronata plants in seawater media was carried out at concentrations of A1: 25 mg/L, A2: 100 mg/L, A3: 175 mg/L, A4: 250 mg/L, and A5: 325 mg/L and control (Control without plants) as a simulation of the presence of pollutants in coastal waters. The method used was a completely randomized design (CRD) with one treatment and 3 replications. The reduction of LAS concentration in the test media and its effect on R Mucronata leaf chlorophyll and dissolved oxygen were analyzed at week 2 to week 4. The analysis results showed that LAS compounds could be reduced to 91.48% at week 2 and 97.40% at week 4. Plant Water quality parameters (dissolved oxygen, temperature and pH) were measured daily. Based on the study results, LAS can be reduced by R. Mucronata plants 87-90.4% in week 2 and 95.1-97.4% in week 4. LAS exclusion by plants had a significant impact on the reduction of leaf chlorophyll content until week 4. LAS reduction by R.

This research aimed to study the stomatal characteristics of three different mangrove types and gain a deeper understanding of their potential adaptive strategies. This research was conducted at the Mangrove Botanical Garden Gunung Anyar, Surabaya, in November 2022. We selected two representative mangrove species from the major, associate, and minor types. Stomata of each mangrove species were observed to identify the stomatal type, density, and size using an Olympus microscope at 100 xs and 400 x magnifications. The results showed there were variations in stomatal type, density, and stomatal length and width among studied mangrove types. Major mangrove species exhibited the lowest stomatal density and the largest size of stomata compared to minor and associated mangroves.

Gastropod samples were taken from 10 different observation stations along the Senjoyo River, which are located at 7˚22'23\"S and 110˚31'37\"E. Observation station locations were determined by the purposive random sampling method, based on tourism activity density.

Statistical analysis showed that location affected gastropod abundance (Asymp. Sig of 0.043), with the highest abundance found at station seven (45,11 individuals/m2).

It is categorized as a recalcitrant dye that is hard to degrade and an environmental pollutant. Therefore, textile waste effluents containing this dye must be treated to remove or degrade the dye, before being released into the environment. One method that can be used to degrade synthetic dyes such as RB5 is to use biological methods, by directly using live fungal cells or using laccase enzymes. Trichoderma asperellum LBKURCC1 is a filamentous fungus isolated from cacao plantation soil in Riau, Indonesia, and it is a laccase enzyme producer. To be able to determine the ability of T. asperellum LBKURCC1 life cultures to decolorize RB5 dye, several RB5 dye removal tests were carried out. Incubation of 50 ppm RB5 with life cultures of T. asperellum LBKURCC1 at room temperature (30°C, pH 6.5) for 24 hours resulted in 22% bioremediation, 3.2% biosorption and 19.1% biodegradation of the RB5 dye.
