Macrozoobenthos have a relatively fixed living habitat, limited movement, and live in and on the bottom of the waters. These properties make macrozoobenthos suitable for water use as a biological indicator. This research aimed to determine individual abundance, species diversity, and evenness of macrozoobenthos in the Mangrove area to determine the physical and chemical conditions based on diversity and the relationship between macrozoobenthos and environmental factors. This research was conducted in January 2022 in the Mangrove area of Bojong Salawe, Pangandaran, West Java. The data collection location is divided into four stations, with three plots at each station. The research results show that 35 species of 3 classes are spread over four stations. The abundance value of macrozoobenthos is at a value of 481.5 – 278 Ind/m2. The diversity index value is at a value of 1.15 – 1.45. The uniformity index value is 0.45 – 0.59.
