Heavy metal content (Pb and Cu) in waters and sediments from the Kuala Tambangan mangrove ecosystem, South Kalimantan was above the standard of Minister Environment of the Republic of Indonesia in 2004. Lead content in waters is reached 0.128 mg/L and Cuprum at 0.444 mg/L, but in the sediments is increased dramatically almost 10 times (17,426 mg/gr for Lead and 20,576 mg/gr for Cuprum. The highest content of Lead (0.128 mg/L) was found in the estuary while for Cuprum (0.444 mg/L) found in the interior. The highest value of Lead (17,426 mg/gr) and Cuprum (20,576 mg/gr) for sediments were found in the estuary. Lead content in eeltail catfish and mud clam is can not be detected, but for Mercury (0.1601 mg/kg in eeltail catfish and 0.2653 mg/kg in mud clam) is above the standard of ISO 2354.6-2016. The Total Plate Count values of inhabitants fauna in mangrove ecosystems were below the standard of SNI 2332.3-2015. A qualitative test for Escherichia coli, Salmonella, and Vibrio cholera presents shows a negative value (<3 APM/g). Coliform quantitative test is above the standard of quality (43 APM/gr in eeltail catfish and 150 APM/g in mud clam). The presence of parasites was not found on all samples.
