Abstract
Indonesia is an archipelago in the tropical climate that has the largest mangrove forest in the world. Based on data from the Ministry of Environment and Forestry, mangrove forest area is estimated about 9 million hectares in 2000. However, this amount is reduced drastically. Approximately, sixty percent of mangrove forest area in 2006, has been lost, damaged, and changed into ponds, plantation, agriculture area, and settlement. Indragiri Hilir is one of regency in Riau Province which has the high potential diversity of mangrove. Based on interpretation of Landsat 8 satellite imagery in June - July 2013, mangrove forest in Indragiri Hilir reached 100,211.23 hectares. The area of mangrove forest is estimated to decrease, due to land use and land cover change. Based on land cover change map, mangrove forest area in Sungai Asam Village has increased in 20 years.
