Abstract

The high percentage of land conversion from mangrove forests to plantation for coconut and other crops between 1998 and 2013 resulted in sharp decline of mangrove forest in Damas Beach. Damas beach is one of the areas covered by mangrove forests in Teluk Prigi and located on the most western area. The total area of the mangrove forest in 1998 was 10 hectares. The number decreased to 30% in 2013. Even though reforestation had been taken place, the mangrove area keeps decreasing. It affected coastal resources, more particularly the number of catch. Fish is the backbone of the local communityliving around the mangrove forest. The purpose of the study was to give information, for both personal and institutional, that is likely to impact the dynamics of mangrove forest area in Damas Beach. In addition, it also describes the level of mangrove forest destruction more particularly as the effect of human activity. It is expected that soci-ecological system is taken into account in order to establish sustainable management program for mangrove forest.
