The reduction in the quantity of mangrove forest ecosystems will certainly have a negative impact on the balance of coastal ecosystems, people who live in coastal areas, and of course sustainable sustainable development proclaimed by the local government. The research objective is to analyze the damage of mangrove forest ecosystems through Environmental Science approach. One approach to the study in question is the remote sensing approach. The study was conducted throughout August 2018 precisely at Mampie Beach, Wonomulyo Subdistrict, Polewali Mandar District. The collection of mangrove forest vegetation data was conducted using purposive sampling (systematic plot) technique. The data used in the analysis of damage to mangrove forest ecosystems is the RBI Sheet Polewali Map Scale 1: 50000 BAKOSURTANAL in 1999, SPOT 4 Image in 2014, SPOT 4 Image in 2015, and Digital Globe Image Acquisition 6/9/2016. Data analysis and processing using the Arc-GIS program to analyze SPOT images, overlay and map making using Geographic Information System (GIS) applications, and descriptive analysis for the bio-physical data of mangrove vegetation. Data analysis of mangrove vegetation area in Mampie showed that overall from 1999 to 2016 the area of mangrove coverage experienced a shrinkage of 10.31 ha, namely 35.23 ha (1999) to 24.92 ha (2014). There is one thing that is quite encouraging that in the following year (2015) mangroves in the Mampie area expanded back to 0.58 ha ie to 25.50 ha but shrank back to 0.29 ha the following year (2016). Mampie Beach’s total mangrove area became 25.21 ha. The mangrove forest area in Mampie leaves only a few species of mangrove, the most dominating is Avicennia marina (Forsk.) Vierh.
