There were 35 students from grades 10 and 11 who participated in the socialization of the importance of mangroves as climate change mitigation in mangrove nursery practices.The socialization activity is divided into four stages, namely pre-test, education, practice and evaluation.

The pretest was carried out before giving the presentation material with the aim of measuring students’ understanding before and after being given education.
