The coastal area of Banyuwangi Regency is the longest in East Java, with mangrove as the priority of tourism program coastal resources, therefore must be conservated. This study aims to determine the types of mangroves on Wongsorejo coastal, mapping the distribution of mangroves on Wongsorejo coastal, and determine the diversity of mangroves on Wongsorejo coastal.
