Abstract: Abstract This study aims to see the potential of mangrove forests for the people of Tanjung Rejo, Deli Serdang Regency, Indonesia. This qualitative study uses Miles and Huberman data analyses. The results of the study concluded that Tanjung Rejo Village has the potential to be developed to improve the quality of community welfare, namely from the agricultural sector, tourist attractions, fisheries, and accommodation sectors. The Tanjung Rejo Mangrove Forest contributes various potentials, including crane breeding, crab fishing attractions, the maintenance of immigrant bird species, Mangrove Batik Houses, and Mangrove production in the form of lunkhead, syrup, chips, jam, and snacks. Tanjung Rejo’s limitations in developing potential are due to the limited allocation of funds and marketing conditions in producing processed food from mangroves. The strategy that the local government has carried out in developing the potential of Mangrove Forests is to create tour packages for tourists visiting Tanjung Rejo and involve the community in the Sapta Pesona (seven charms) program. It is hoped that the contributions of various government and non-government parties can be carried out by participating in developing the potential of Tanjung Rejo, especially provided by the Mangrove Forest.
