Abstract: 
This study aimed to provide a comprehensive description of Waranggui mangrove forest through a detailed analysis of its land cover. It was conducted using a descriptive method with satellite image overlay techniques, surveys, and recording of land cover conditions. The results showed that there were 7 types of land cover in Waranggui mangrove area dominated by 99.10% cover, followed by open areas resulting from logging activities, water body cover, boat mooring cover, and other indications of land use at 0.38%, 0.26%, 0.12%, and 0.10%, respectively. Additionally, garden cover in the form of coconut plants and sand at 0.02% and 0.01% were also observed in the mangrove forest area.
