With many important roles of mangrove, monitoring the changes of mangrove area become important to give us the information. One of the effective ways in monitoring mangrove is using remote sensing system, in this case, Landsat 8. This research aims to identify the changes of mangrove area in Pangpang Bay conservation area during 2014-2018 by using Landsat 8 imagery. Composite of 564 RGB on Landsat 8 imagery was used for identification of mangrove and the classification method used in this research was maximum likelihood classification (MLC). The classification result indicated 3 land cover classes: water bodies, land and mangrove. The result of 564 RGB composite on Landsat 8 imagery showed that there was an increase of 283.04 ha in total mangrove area from 2014 to 2018. Pangpang Bay experiencing expansion of mangrove area from 2014 to 2018 because that place is a mangrove conservation area, so that the sustainability of mangrove is maintained. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
