aquatic organisms and terrestrial organisms including the place of fish seeds, shrimp
and shellfish, habitat for various birds, and other biota, as a nursery ground, feeding
ground, and selter area. Socially and economically, mangrove ecosystems are the
source of livelihoods of coastal communities including ponds, wood and non-timber
