This research aims to study the effects of water quality on the diversity and density of benthic animals in the mangrove forest. The study examines water temperature, salinity, pH level, and dissolved oxygen concentration, as well as benthic animal populations in the mangrove forest at three designated locations. These factors serve as indicators of water quality and the overall health of the mangrove ecosystem. The findings reveal that the water temperature, salinity, pH level, and dissolved oxygen concentration, along with the diversity of benthic animals, are at good levels. This positively influences the density and diversity of benthic animals in the mangrove forest.
