Abstract

This study aims to obtain results regarding the structure and composition of mangrove vegetation in the City of Manado, North Sulawesi. The research method used was descriptive and exploratory methods, while to obtain vegetation data was done by purposive sampling and plot sampling methods in each transect. Samples were taken by stratified random sampling. At the study site, no mangrove damage was found. This is thought to be caused by the role of the people of Manado City who care about the mangrove ecosystem and the research location was not located at reclamation location. In general, mangrove vegetation in Manado City was dominated by Sonneratia Alba species.. With this structure and composition data, in the next step, the government, the community or other stakeholders can monitor and maintain the condition of this ecosystem so that mangroves can grow and not be damaged.
