The existence of arthropods can be an indicator of the balance of the ecosystem. The purpose of this study was to estimate the abundance and diversity of arthropods in the canopy of Ciletuh mangrove areas.

The results showed that canopy arthropods at 6 mangrove zoning in Ciletuh mangrove forest consisting of 21 families.
