This study aims to determine the status of sustainability of mangrove forest management in Kangean Island. The research method used the Multidimensional Scaling (MDS) approach through the Rapid Apraisal for Kangean Mangrove Forest (Rap-KMforest) technique, to evaluate the sustainability of mangrove forests in a multidimensional manner. The results showed that the sustainability status of mangrove forest management in Kangean Island are varied, included the moderately sustainable category (51.40) on the ecological dimension, lack of sustainability (45.50) on the economic dimension, lack of sustainability (36.95) on the social dimension, and moderately sustainable (51.32) on the institutional dimension.
