Mangrove ecosystems are one of the blue carbon ecosystems in the Coastal region. Mangroves have the ability to assimilate and accelerate high carbon and can save carbon in the long term. On the coast of Kendari Bay has developed settlements and various centers of community activities, which drastically decreased mangrove vegetation. Research on Blue Carbon Placed in Mangrove Forests is very important to be carried out, to determine changes in regional conditions in the Coastal region. Spatial modeling can be used to estimate degradation of blue carbon stocks. It is expected to produce spatial and temporal maps based on the modeling required from remote sensing data, so that it can be input in determining policies and making more appropriate decisions in the management of the Kendari Bay area, so that development can be carried out successfully. InVEST (Integrated Assessment of Ecosystem Services and Sacrifices) can be used to map and model changes in total carbon stock that are changed by changes in land cover in Kendari Bay. The output generated through spatial and temporal mapping in InVEST can calculate carbon stocks with past, present and future scenarios. InVEST results can be used as a reserve for the management of Kendari Bay Coastal, a grant for mangrove management as a provider of blue carbon stock.
