Abstract: Mangrove is a coastal ecosystem that provides valuable ecosystem services, including coastal land stabilization, groundwater protection, fisheries and storm protection. Human utilization of coastal areas include economic activities such as settlement, brackish water aquaculture, industrial and infrastructure development. This study reports on economic modeling of these ecosystem services in planning the future development of coastal areas. This modeling include: the economic value of the mangrove ecosystem; Shrimp farming performance also economic activities alternative in the coastal area and optimal coastal area planning. This study analyzed the value of mangrove ecosystem services using Total Economic Valuation (TEV). To analyze the profitability and feasibility of shrimp farming; The writer used benefit tabulation, Net Present Value (NPV), Internal Rate of Return (IRR) and net Benefit Cost ratio (net B/C). For optimize of area planning the author used Multiple Objective Goals Programming (MOGP). The principal outcomes of these analysis was that mangrove ecosystem provide significant economic value also recommend at looks after the mangrove.
