Mangrove plants are an alternative source of food for coastal communities besides rice, corn, and sago. This research aims to determine the impact of damage to mangrove ecosystems that affect food availability in coastal areas. Besides this research also aims to determine the accessibility of the community to mangrove forests, because the community is very dependent on mangrove forests. The methods used to achieve these objectives are the Partial Least Square (PLS) method, Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Marine Spatial Planning (MSP). The results of this study showed that damage of the mangrove ecosystems had a significant effect on food supply in coastal areas, so that access to household food for coastal communities and consumption of household food is very limited. For this reason, the formulation of public policy related to food planning must be an important element in developing national guidelines. © 2022 Universitatea "Alexandru Ioan Cuza" din Iasi.
