Trenggalek and Malang districts are among the coastal cities in East Java that have mangrove forests. The function of mangroves as a wear prevention to maintain the plains is the background of this research. The purpose of this study is to compare the vegetation density of mangrove forests in Trenggalek and Malang using Landsat 8 image 2 channel algorithm method by calculating the vegetation index value with NDVI and EVI methods. The difference in vegetation values can be seen based on thematic maps with differences in average diameter of mangrove trees where in mangrove forests in Trenggalek Regency has an average diameter of mangrove trees of 6.55 cm while in Malang Regency has an average diameter of mangrove trees of 5.73 cm.
