To restore the environmental conditions, the government rehabilitatingponds by applying sylvofishery pond system. This study aims to estimate the value ofexternalities mangrove areas converted to ponds in the Mahakam Delta and counting analysisfurther aquaculture with traditional extensive system as well as sylvofishery system. From theresult of study, it can be concluded that value of the lost benefits that reach Rp. 137,484,760,721, - / year of mangrove forests that  have been converted to ponds for  75,311 ha. NVPvalue was negative and BCR less than 1 for traditional extensive pond system which meansthat the use of ponds with extensive traditional system will suffer a loss and this business wasnot feasible at this time as well as the positive value of BCR and NVP more than1 for thesylvofishery pond system means that utilization of ponds with sylvofishery system will beprofitable and feasible at this time
