Study on the Utilization of Mangrove Forest Plants

“…Plants are a biological resource that has been utilized by humans worldwide for a long time. The need for this knowledge is increasing as human dependence on plants grows (Ahmed et al, 2016;Emms & Kelly, 2015;Syahroni et al, 2021;Thatoi et al, 2013).
