Action Plans
Mangrove ecosystem is considered to be one of the richest and most
productive ecosystems. The mangrove ecosystem is dominated by mangrove trees
as the primary producer interacting with associated aquatic fauna, social and
physical factors of the coastal ecosystem.

and destruction. These ecosystems have become an easy target for the extraction
of wood for fuel and construction, the production of food and waste disposal. Due to
the importance of mangrove forest to the ecological system and environment, it is
necessary to have a good management, conservation and restoration plan of
mangrove forest. This chapter provides the various interventions and plans that will
