“…There are several functions of mangrove forests other than as habitats for flora and fauna: They act as a carbon sink (blue carbon storage) [141], maintain water quality [142], protect coastal land from natural disasters [143], and support coral and seagrass ecosystems [144] (Figure 2). In addition, mangroves provide livelihood opportunities for coastal communities through aquaculture, fodder, timber, and ecotourism [8].…”

“…Mangrove forests act as natural water filters for coastal areas, improving the water quality by trapping sediments and other solid impurities with their roots [142]. This reduces the flow of sediments into offshore waters, thereby reducing erosion [152], maintaining clean habitats for seagrass beds and coral reefs, and contributing to SDG 14, which talks about life below water [153].…”

Mangroves stand out as one of the most diverse and biologically significant natural systems in the world. Playing critical roles in maintaining the health and productivity of coastal ecosystems, mangroves provide a range of services and functions, including habitat for local fauna and flora, food and other goods, carbon sequestration, and protection from natural disasters such as storm surges and coastal erosion. It is also evident that mangroves face several threats, which have already led to the gradual depletion of mangrove areas worldwide. Based on the analysis of current and related historical literature and data, this review summarises mangrove functions and the threats and challenges associated with mangrove management practices. Our findings suggest that coastal development, expanded aquaculture, deforestation, climate change, and other associated implications such as eutrophication, diseases, and pollution are the major factors posing threats to mangrove sustainability. We also highlight the various challenges, such as land use conflict, a lack of stringent regulatory actions, inadequate policy and government frameworks, and a lack of community awareness, that underlie ineffective mangrove management. The implementation of inclusive and coordinated approaches involving stakeholders from different backgrounds and interests, governmental and non-governmental organisations, and academia is essential for mangrove restoration and sustainable mangrove management by adapting mitigation strategies.

Mangrove forests represent an important environment for the biogeochemistry process. They can act as a bioaccumulator of metals by removing from the sediment. Phytochelatins, on the other hand, play an important role in the plant's detoxification mechanism by absorbing metals that are not essential to its physiology. Sepetiba bay is historical higher metals impacted by zinc smelter industry residues. The aim of the study was evaluating the metals contamination and arsenic loke phytochelatin in mangrove and fern (leaves, flowers and branches and root) in the smelter industry residues site. The total element content in plants was determined by ICP-MS and the determination of phytochelatins was carried out by SEC-HPLC-ICP-MS. The highest concentration of As (34.81 mg kg− 1) was detected in the leaves of the fern. Zn reached 287.91 mg kg− 1 in the roots and Cd did not exceed 3 mg.kg− 1 in the plant compartments. High concentrations of As in mangrove were reported only in flowers (6.1 mg kg− 1). The metals concentrations indicate a dilution gradient from the Cia Mercantil Ingá waste to bay. The mangrove in channel Arapucaia, showed highest concentrations of Fe and Mn can be are related to the influence of drainage from the ore port and coal terminal. In fern species, biomolecule analyzes demonstrate the existence of two different chemical species of As in the plant structure, while for Mangrove, three chemical species were found in the leaves and other two in flowers and branches.
