Abstract Mangrove ecosystem in Indramayu coast has function to preserve coastal area from abrasion and sedimentation as destructive hazard, because mangrove has ability to reduce impact of abrasion and sedimentation in coastal ecosystem. Before 2018, Indramayu regency had shore line coast until 115.5 km, but abrasion caused the degradation of shore line in Indramayu coast until more than 20%. This research aimed to analysis correlation between mangrove ecosystem with shoreline change in Indramayu Coast. The research method used vegetation analysis and mapping analysis. The results showed that (1) the degradation mangrove area was shown by mangrove areal 7688,38 ha (1990) to 862.20 ha (2016), (2) the shoreline change had potential abrasion reaches 255,2-277,65 ha and accretion reaches 40,6 – 315,9 ha. (3) the mangrove density reached 40-145 trees ha-1 (diameter >10cm) and 423-2238 trees ha-1 (diameter>4cm). (4) The optimum width of mangrove greenbelt to reduce coastal disaster and shoreline change in Indramayu between 200 – 250 m
