Résumé : The coastal zones of Madagascar are constituted of some of the richest natural habitats in the Indian Ocean region. A study on the biological inventory of the Ambanjabe marine natural resources’ management transfer zone in the coastal and marine ecosystems has been carried out. Our work aims to recognize the distribution, abundance or even the threats weighing on this biodiversity in order to sound an alarm, with a view to making an immediate decision about the management of this zone. But, these ecosystems are subject to a continuous deterioration of anthropogenic origin with a close link to population growth. As a hypothesis, the Ambanjabe zone is a site rich in biodiversity following a transfer of management between the local grassroots community, the township and the Waters and Forests service. There are various suitable methods: surveys, introduction of transects, plots and surveys as well as factorial correspondence analysis (FCA). For the results, 43 species were recorded in the marine environment of which 23 were flora and 20 fauna. The dominant families were respectively Fucaceae and Carangidae. Concerning the survey on the coastal ecosystem, 14 species were inventoried of which 7 were flora and 7 fauna dominated by the two families Rhizophoraceae and Ocypodidae.
