The characteristics of different mangrove habitats possess varying water conditions. This study aimed to analyze the ecological characteristics of mangroves and the challenges in mangrove rehabilitation in the Sei Carang waters of Tanjungpinang City. The research was conducted on December 4, 2024, at an observation site located within the mangrove ecosystem in the estuarine waters of Sei Carang, Tanjungpinang City. The tools and materials used in this study included a GPS, compass, thermometer, pH meter, handheld refractometer, DO meter, and writing instruments. The research findings indicate that the ecological characteristics of the mangrove ecosystem in the Sei Carang estuarine waters are favorable for the existing mangrove vegetation, as evidenced by the alignment of the measured parameters with optimal conditions. Furthermore, the challenges faced in mangrove restoration in Sei Carang, Tanjungpinang City, include insufficient monitoring, unclear institutional responsibilities for mangrove management, and natural factors. © 2025, Egyptian Society for the Development of Fisheries and Human Health.
