Mangroves can be classified as tropical forests, as intertidal forests or as coastal woodlands that include species that are dependent upon the particular systems of fresh and marine waters and tides that prevail on some parts of our coasts. The management of such forests or woodlands has been carried out in the past on the basis of forest reserves as the management units with rules and regulations coming from government forestry agencies. This contribution suggests that an ecosystem approach to the management of mangroves has definite benefits - both for the plants and animals within the ecosystem (the ”mangroves”) and for the people that use these resources in one way or another.Pages
