The method used is a line transect plot made of 2 lines, 100 meters long for each line transect. There are 4 plots measuring 10 x 10 m², so there are 8 plots. Analysis of the data using the index of diversity, uniformity, dominance and Frequency of Attendance. The results showed that mangrove crabs in the mangrove conservation area of Polo Village found 6 species, namely Uca bellator, Uca dussumieri, Uca inversa, Parasesarma leptosoma, and Myomenippe sp. The diversity index has moderate criteria (1.4280). The value of uniformity has high criteria (0.7970). The dominance index value with low criteria (0.0083-0.4155). The highest presence value was in the species Uca bellator and Parasesarma leptosoma with a value of 100% while the lowest was in the species Myomenippe sp. and Scylla serrata, which was 25%.
