The aim of this study is to know the ability to absorp NaCl, optimum salinity range, and distribution of NaCl in the roots, stems, and leaves of Avicennia marina and Rhizophora mucronata seedlings. Both species can decrease water salinity (4.33 and 2.38 ppt) and Cl ion (2.88 and 1.25 mg/l). The result of anova statistical analysis (p = 0.05) showed that A. marina has the more capability to decrease salinity and Cl ion than R. mucronata. The best salinity range to absorp NaCl for A. marina is between 7.5-22.5, while those for R. mucronata is between 15-22.5 ppt. Most Cl ions in both A. marina and R. mucronata were accumulated in leaves, then roots, and the least was found in stems
