Abstract
This research aims to determine the species composition of the Tanjung Manis mangrove forest, Mukah division, Sarawak.The results would be useful for STIDC to plan the area as tourism and recreation area. Data on species, dbh and height of trees were collected on 10 x 10 m plots (for trees ->5 cm dbh) and 5 x 5 In subplots (for trees < 5 cm dbh) along South-North and West-East transects. Basal area, volume, Importance Value, and Shannon's index (species diversity) were calculated. The most numerous trees were Excoecaria agallocha (42.5% of the total stems) followed by Heriteria littoralis (38. 1 %) and Rhizophora mucronata (15,2%). Heriteria littoralis (41. 2%) was the major species among trees low than 5 cm, followed by Rhizophora mucronata (25.8%) and Excoecaria agallocha (21.6%). The forest is quite homogenous (low diversity) with Shannon's index of 0.53 for trees with dbh >5 cm. The species found in the area represent only a portion of the whole species of mangroves.
