The social network of those managing mangrove forests sustainably in the districts of Langkat and Batu Bara is the subject of this study. The state of affairs indicates that the government has not been able to collaborate with stakeholders on mangrove forest management projects involving the local community that are systematic, synergistic, and sustainable. Finding a network of stakeholders is crucial to designing a mangrove forest management program holistically and sustainably. Stakeholders in the Nibung Hangus Sub-district, Batu Bara Regency, namely Lubuk Kertang Village, Pasar Rawa Village, Tapak Kuda Village, and Bagan Baru Village, maintain mangrove forests symmetrically through cooperative efforts. Rehabilitating degraded mangrove forests is heavily impacted by the structure of current networks, which includes social and economic construction and tenure components or rights to forest property. This research aims to determine the structure of networks and the function of stakeholders—actors and institutions—in managing mangrove forests. Descriptive analytic approaches were employed in the qualitative conduct of this study.
