In Madagascar, the population of the coastal zone lives at the cost of natural resources, especially the mangroves. This study focused on the condition of mangroves in Bombetoka Bay, Rural Commune of Boanamary, Boeny Region, Madagascar. The purpose is to analyze the state of the mangrove forest. The adopted methodology has made it possible to know the different modes of exploitation of mangrove species. The transect and quadrat methods were used at all four sites: Morahariva, Nosy Tanindrazana, Malainolo, and Tambohobe. The findings from the inventories and measurements of the samples of the quadrats allowed us to calculate the floristic characters. The ecosystem is being over-exploited by the local community. The Avicennia marina species have dominated the remaining forest. The traces of the cuts are much more marked in the easily accessible zones A and C. Mangrove degradation is due in large part to human actions.
