Abstract
This study aims to analyze the vegetation composition, estimate biomass content, and examine carbon storage in mangrove stands in the Mangrove Ecotourism Area of Teluk Santong. The research employs a descriptive method to provide insights into natural phenomena or community relations by studying existing issues based on collected data, which is then processed through data presentation, analysis, and drawing conclusions. *Rhizophora apiculata* species dominate the mangrove area, with the highest Importance Value Index (IVI) for tree level reaching 365.50%. The estimated carbon stored in the mangrove stands is 3.07 tons/ha, with a biomass of 6.53 tons/ha and carbon dioxide storage of 76.52 tonsCO₂/ha. Carbon storage in a particular mangrove species increases with the growth in individual tree diameter. *Rhizophora apiculata* has higher density, diameter, and biomass values than *Avicennia alba*. Additionally, the CO₂ absorption capacity of *Rhizophora apiculata* is much higher than that of *Avicennia alba*, reaching 69 tons CO₂/ha.
