The mangrove ecosystem in Cemara Wetan Village, Cantigi District, Indramayu Regency, has high potential but has not been optimally utilized, especially in economic aspects. Local communities still do not understand the added value of mangroves as raw materials for food products. Community service activities were carried out in the form of training on processing mangrove fruit into food and beverage products with economic value. The implementation method included a learning-by-doing approach, interactive discussions, and direct practice consisting of three main stages: preparation, implementation, and evaluation. This activity upholds the principle of CAPACITY (Involvement, Accessibility, Participation, Nodes, Innovation, Follow-up, and Direct Application) to ensure active community involvement. The training resulted in various processed products, such as dodol (sweet candy), syrup, wrakas leaf chips, and sponge cakes made from mangrove fruit, which have been simply packaged ready for marketing. The implementation results showed a 100% participant participation rate, with high enthusiasm during both theory and practice sessions. Participants actively asked questions, discussed, and were directly involved in the entire processing process. Positive feedback was also obtained, indicating a good acceptance of this innovation. This training has successfully increased the community's capacity to utilize local resources sustainably and opened up opportunities for developing ecotourism and mangrove-based creative economic businesses.

This Community Service Program was conducted at SMP Swasta Muhammadiyah 32 Gunungsitoli with the aim of enhancing students' understanding of digital literacy and introducing artificial intelligence (AI) in daily life. Through interactive material delivery, discussions, and hands-on practice using AI-based applications, students were guided to grasp basic AI concepts, its benefits and risks, and its application in learning processes. The results showed that students were able to understand AI’s role in supporting education, distinguish between AI-generated and human-created images, and express curiosity about issues related to digital ethics and data security. A reflective approach was also employed by allowing students to ask questions and share critical perspectives. This activity demonstrated that an appropriate educational approach can foster responsible digital awareness from an early age, while also preparing young generations to face the challenges of the digital era.

Seaweed is a marine plant belonging to the macroalgae group that lives attached to the seabed (benthic algae). As a natural resource commodity, seaweed has high economic value and great potential to be developed into various value-added processed products. However, in Balaweling 1 Village, West Solor District, cultivated Eucheuma cottonii seaweed is still sold as raw material at low prices. This condition indicates that local potential has not been optimally utilized to improve community welfare. This Community Service (PKM) activity aims to improve the understanding and skills of the community, especially the PKK (Family Welfare Movement) women's group, in processing seaweed into high-value snack sticks. The activity method uses a hands-on approach (learning by doing) that includes material preparation, seaweed stick processing, modern packaging using standing pouches, and digital marketing training through social media. The results of the activity showed an increase in the skills and creativity of participants in processing seaweed into attractive and durable processed products. The resulting seaweed stick products have a crunchy texture, savory taste, and modern packaging, thus having the potential to be marketed more widely. The conclusion of this activity was that seaweed processing training can increase economic independence and empower coastal women. Consequently, similar activities can serve as a model for sustainable, locally-based empowerment and encourage the formation of small community businesses based on local marine resources.

Mangroves play a vital role in maintaining the balance of coastal ecosystems and provide ecological, economic, and social benefits to humans. However, some communities do not yet understand the importance of this ecosystem, resulting in various destructive practices, such as logging for firewood, land conversion to fishponds or salt fields, and dumping of garbage and waste into mangrove areas. If this situation continues, it will have serious impacts, one of which is coastal abrasion, which threatens the lives of coastal communities. To address this issue, this community service activity was conducted with the aim of educating and raising public awareness about the importance of mangrove conservation as an effort to prevent abrasion in coastal areas. The implementation method included interactive lectures, group discussions, and concrete actions such as planting mangroves in coastal areas. This activity involved the active participation of the local community, particularly children and adolescents from the Palo Porong Community Community Center (TBM Palo Porong), as agents of change in environmental conservation. The results of the activity showed an increase in public understanding and awareness of the function and benefits of the mangrove ecosystem. The community began to show behavioral changes that were more concerned with the environment, such as no longer cutting mangroves indiscriminately and participating in mangrove planting and maintenance activities. Furthermore, this activity fosters a spirit of mutual cooperation and social responsibility in preserving coastal natural resources. Therefore, it can be concluded that mangrove conservation education through a participatory approach can increase community ecological awareness and encourage sustainable, environmentally friendly behavior.

Snacks are a type of food consumed outside of main meals and play a role in helping meet daily calorie needs. However, most snacks on the market today contain monosodium glutamate (MSG), calories, fat, and other additives that are potentially harmful to health. Therefore, innovation is needed in creating snacks that are not only delicious but also highly nutritious. One effort that can be done is by adding animal protein sources, such as skipjack tuna, which is known for its high protein content and good nutritional value. This activity aims to improve the skills of the community, especially micro-business owners, in processing skipjack tuna into economically valuable snack products. The method used in this activity is direct practice or demonstration of making various processed skipjack tuna products. The training process begins with preparing the main ingredient, namely skipjack tuna meat, then continues with mixing complementary ingredients, processing, and packaging the final product. The results of the activity showed that the resulting snack products, such as fish floss, fish sticks, and fish crackers, are of satisfactory quality. Training participants assessed the process as easy to make, the ingredients are economical, and the products can be stored for a long time. Furthermore, these processed products have good sales potential, making them a source of additional income for families. In conclusion, the training on producing skipjack tuna snacks not only improves the community's skills in processing local food ingredients but also contributes to the development of micro-enterprises and the diversification of highly nutritious food products within the community.
