Ciletuh mangrove forest requires rehabilitation regarding the uncontrollable exploitation few years ago. There are parameters to be concerned about mangrove forest rehabilitation due to determining tree species that suitable to be planted, such as water salinity, tides frequency, soil and water pH, soil fertility, and soil physical characteristics. The study aimed to determine a mangrove area that needs to be rehabilitated, a suitable mangrove species that can be planted, and proper planting techniques in Ciletuh mangrove forest. The analysis was conducted by analyzing vegetation, testing soil chemical and physical characteristics, and measuring water salinity and inundation frequency. The result showed that the suitable species to be planted in Ciletuh mangrove forest are Avicennia officinalis, Bruguiera cylindrica, B. gymnorrhiza, B. sexangula, Sonneratia caseolaris, Cerbera manghas, Excoecaria agallocha, Rhizophora mucronata, R. apiculata, Lumnitzera racemosa, L. littorea, Nypa fruticans and Hibiscus tiliaceus .
