MANGROVE MAGNIFICENT FOREST ON THE EDGE

Mangrove Forest in Coron, Palawan

ABSTRACT

Mangroves are a crossroad where oceans, freshwater, and land

realms meet. They are among the most productive and complex

ecosystems on the planet, growing under environmental

conditions that would kill ordinary plants very quickly.

Mangrove forests are particularly found in tropical and subtropical

regions within 300 of the equator. These tidal areas, such as

estuaries and marine shorelines, are frequently inundated with

salt water. Strongly in decline, mangrove forests occupy about

15.2 million hectares of tropical coast worldwide: across Africa,

Australia, Asia and America. Due to the importance of mangrove

ecosystem and the issues that might endanger the life of the

mangrove, it is necessary to protect the mangrove forest by

having a good management system. This paper contains the

review that will help us to understand the importance of the

mangrove forest and also the background of mangrove forest

management. The Province of Palawan has been selected for the

case study of mangrove forest management Therefore this paper

highlights the main importance of managing mangrove forest in

preserving the ecosystem and provided with the recommendation

in the last chapter.

INTRODUCTION

Mangrove forest is unique ecosystem. They provide valuable

ecosystem services which dominated by mangrove trees as the

primary producer interacting with aquatic fauna, social and

physical factors of the coastal environment
