Abstract

This study aims to analyze (1) Species of mangrove forest vegetation, (2) The closure of mangrove forest vegetation, (3) The density of mangrove forest vegetation, (4) Distribution of mangrove forest vegetation, (5) The damage of mangrove forests, (6) The Mapping of mangrove forest damage in Mandah District of Indragiri Hilir in Riau Province. This study used a descriptive quantitative research. The data sources are primary data and secondary data. The sample taken by using Line Transect Plot, with 5 transect lines, each transect has 3 sample plots with a total sample are 15 plots. The data analysis technique that used is the equation for calculating the percentage of the closure of mangrove forest vegetation, the density of mangrove forest vegetation, distribution of mangrove forest vegetation, and the damage of mangrove forest, The Mapping of mangrove forest damage using Arc View 3.3. software based on the result of calculation. The result on the analysis data obtained that 1). Species of mangrove forest vegetation : Bakau / Rhizophora Mucronata, Nyirih / Xylocarpus Granatum, Pidada / Sonneratia Alba, Nipah / Nypa Fruticans, Behe / Aigiceras Floridum, Tuntum / Aigiceras Corniculatum. 2).
