Mangrove ecosystems are one of the main ecosystems in coastal areas that have high productivity that serves and support the productivity of fisheries resources. This high productivity is due to mangrove ecological functions of mangroves as a nursery ground, feeding ground, and spawning ground. In the global warming context, the mangrove ecosystem has served as a sink and storage carbon. Mangroves also play a process of disaster mitigation, especially to current and waves, erosion, and coastal abrasion. Mangrove, in functional status, will be able to protect the wave movement from sea to land. Except for tree density, the mangrove root's shown an ability to protect waves from the sea. The effort to conserve and protect coastal areas from climate and tsunami can be started from the local community in the coastal. The local government that has close connectivity to the coastal ecosystem is a village particularly. This is a critical point to increase local coastal village, and then, the village autonomy according to Law Number 6 of 2014 concerning villages to conserve the ecosystem and environment as the village's responsibility. Thus, the village is no longer just managing the administration but also saving the environment and the world one of them through mangroves
