Management of the Mangrove and Crab Conservation Area (KKMK) has not been optimal, making it vulnerable to damage. A Social-Ecological System (SES) approach is needed to understand the linkages between community dynamics, governance, and mangrove ecology. This research aims to provide recommendations for mangrove ecosystem sustainability strategies using the SES approach. Data and information came from primary data (surveys and interviews) and secondary data (agencies and previous research). Management strategies in KKMK refer to the key variables of SES, which are then further analyzed using Participatory Prospective Analysis (PPA). The strategy for RS-RG connectivity is to conduct regular data collection related to mangrove ecology. The strategy for RS-RA is to supervise the use of mangrove resources. The strategy for RS-RU is to carry out rehabilitation to increase density and species diversity. The strategy for RU-RA is to limit the capture of mangrove crabs to maintain the population in nature. The strategy for RU-RG is to increase supervision and create new policies that align with the conditions in KKMK. The strategy for RA-RG is to provide socialization to RA on the importance of preserving mangroves and take firm action against perpetrators of mangrove ecosystem destruction. © 2025 by the author(s).
