This study was conducted to determine communication methods and other relevant factors in promoting mangrove conservation at Bangkaew Sub-district. A total of 140 households residing nearby the mangrove area served as respondents. Percentages, means, and chi-square test were used in data analysis.

It was found that group communication and interpersonal communication had significant relationship with the level of people participation in promoting mangrove conservation. The people had high level of participation in mangrove conservation. Gender had statistical significant relationship to people participation. Problems of people participation in mangrove conservation were lack of time to participate in the project’s activities, lack of budget for implementation, and lack of attention from government officials.
