Expedition to the Aceh region

In the afternoon during my visit to one of the Aceh provinces, precisely in one of the small cities known as Lhokseumawe, is one of the cities located by the coast. If you enter the Banda Sakti District area you will meet one of the small tourist attractions, namely Pusong Reservoir.

The location of the Pusong reservoir is vast but before you enter the area, the first thing you encounter is a mangrove tree that grows in a row and is dense in the reservoir from the south side.

The origin of the tree is based on initial planting by one of the occupants who occupy the reservoir as a small house or community in an area called Jambo Uebeut, so that when he occupies the area salt water is planted with mangrove trees brought from an area and then planted with dams in the end the tree thrives and overflow in Pusong Reservoir.

To this day until this post is written the tree is still growing neatly and lined up in the edge of the reservoir in. However, there is a prohibition for every citizen to cut it because the village leaders in the area consider the mangrove tree as a tree that helps a lot in this life, if the community wants to have it, then they must ask permission from related parties so that the deduction is good and orderly.

According to local residents, they say that there are many benefits from these plants, the benefits have also been felt by every resident who lives around the area.

Then if there is a wave of sea water that overflows when the tide is accompanied by strong currents during high tide and recedes, the mangrove tree can survive so strongly that the houses of people behind the mangroves will be safe from the waves.

Likewise other things that occur in nature around the reservoir, all of which are sourced from mangrove trees. So the occupants and leaders forbid the occupants from cutting down the tree. Because animals and all kinds of birds are found in nesting reservoirs in mangrove forests.

Thus this year's short expedition visited the region of Aceh which contains a variety of uniqueness and I personally like to see the country. Thanks.
