    Abstract

    The role of mangroves as bio-shields and as critical habitats are being increasingly recognised and proved in the recent years. However, urbanisation and other anthropogenic activities have reduced the mangrove cover of most coastal areas. To overcome this, restoration programs are planned in several areas. Planting of mangrove seedlings without considering the ecological criteria suitable for the biological success of the mangroves, have given poor success rates
