The level of perception and attitude were obtained by using scoring techniques and factors that influence the level of perception and attitude, then were analyzed by using multiple linear regression. The results showed that based on the community perception, mangrove forests can provide variety of benefit to support their life, both ecology and economically. Level of people’s perception was included in the medium category with 41.1% respondents, 40.3% at lower category and higher category with 18.5% . Levels of public attitudes were dominated at low level by 65.3% respondents, medium category with 25.8% and high category with 8.9%.
