The mangrove ecosystem in Bintan Regency provides many benefits, both directly and indirectly, for the people around it. Mangrove ecosystem services also vary and play a role in adaptation and mitigation processes in the face of climate change. Oil pollution that occurs every year in Bintan Regency has a negative impact both ecologically and economically. This research aims to estimate the value of mangrove ecosystem services in the East and North Coastal Areas of Bintan Island, which can be used as a basis for the management of the Area. The data collection method used was a survey using a questionnaire on fishermen, tourists, tourism managers, and the surrounding community. In addition, it also collects some secondary data to support data analysis. The results of the study state that the estimated economic value of mangrove ecosystem services is IDR. 135,663,899,478.30/year from a mangrove area of 4354.11 ha. The economic value consists of providing services by 61%, regulatory services by 21%, supporting services by 2%, and cultural services by 16%. The economic value of the mangrove ecosystem services in the coastal area of Bintan Island, Indonesia, has significant implications for policy-making related to mangrove conservation, social welfare, and environmental damage claims. The research provides evidence of the economic value of mangroves, which can be used to support policies and claims aimed at protecting these crucial ecosystems and the benefits they provide to local communities.
