Mangrove forests serve as valuable ecological and economic resources being important nursery grounds and breeding sites for birds, fish, crustaceans, shellfish, reptiles and mammals, a renewable source of wood, accumulation sites for sediment, contaminants, carbon and nutrients and offer protection against coastal erosion. Globally, it occupies about 181, 000 sqkm area of tropical and subtropical coastline. In India, it covers approximately 3% of world's total mangrove forest distributing over twelve States according to India State of Forest Report, 2013.

Mangrove forests serve as valuable ecological and economic resources being important nursery grounds and breeding sites for birds, fish, crustaceans, shellfish, reptiles and mammals, a renewable source of wood, accumulation sites for sediment, contaminants, carbon and nutrients and offer protection against coastal erosion. Globally, it occupies about 181, 000 sqkm area of tropical and subtropical coastline.
