The present work is oriented to the multitemporal analysis of the mangrove coverage in the coastal zone of the municipalities of Puerto Escondido, Moñitos, Turbo, and Unguía from 2001 to 2019, this framed within the geography and itself within the environmental territorial ordering. The research problem was to characterize the socioeconomic factors that generated the change in the coverage of the mangrove forest, as well as to analyze from an ecosystemic approach the management that is given to these ecosystems. The analyses and results contribute to recommend management measures for these strategic areas in the provision of environmental services, such as stabilizing the coastline by receiving sediments and breeding area for euryhaline and marine fish.
