Abstract

The present study was conducted to get proper knowledge regarding the mangrove forests areas, boundaries, growing geomorphologic forms, understand mangrove importance and threats in Egypt and to helping suggest the remedial measures needed for proper conservation of mangrove ecosystem in Egypt. The major threats to mangroves in Egypt are the exploitation of it for coastal development (as removal for constructing hotels, roads and other infrastructureas), firewood, camel feed and timber. by human beings, this leads to a great loss of mangrove biodiversity. Knowledge of mangrove species zonation is essential in determining suitable areas of different species. Where, it is difficult to generalize planting sites for successful mangrove restoration, as this will depend on local environmental conditions and the species to be planted. Therefore, urgently need to evaluate the success of rehabilitation trials of mangroves that implemented before along Red Sea coast to contribute in success of current and future conservation activities for mangroves. In current study, since the results of restoration activities may vary within the environmental condition and management regime, assessment of the efficiency of restoration activities in different scenarios is necessary. Thus, our focus should be extended from developing the regulatory framework of carbon accounting to improving management and policy in mangrove restoration as forest carbon stock enhancement. This holistic effort would increase the benefit of mangrove ecosystem services for communities.
