Urban mangroves

"Urban Mangroves" is a research article whose main objective was to identify key findings regarding the ecological, social, and environmental dynamics of urban mangroves in the context of global change. It explores the ecology, conservation challenges, and socioeconomic value of mangroves that persist in urban and coastal environments, particularly in Mexico. The study focuses on how these ecosystems, despite human pressure and climate change, continue to provide vital services such as coastal protection, water filtration, and biodiversity support. The research also addresses major threats such as habitat fragmentation and land-use conflicts, proposing restoration strategies and highlighting the potential of ecotourism and environmental education as conservation tools. Finally, it emphasizes the importance of public policy and community participation for the sustainable management of these valuable wetlands.
