Mangrove Microbiome. Diversity and Bioprospecting 2025

Editors: Sanjivkumar Muthusamy, Radhakrishnan Manikkam, Gopikrishnan Venugopal

This book highlights the diversity, and industrial and bio-therapeutic applications of mangrove associated microbiomes. The bioactive metabolites from the mangrove microbiomes show high antimicrobial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, antidiabetic and anti-biofilm activities.

Their environmentally significant capabilities such as remediation, degradation and agriculture enhancing properties are discussed in this book as well. Mangroves are extremely nutrient-rich and productive ecosystems found adjacent to coastal waters and they stand at the base of an extensive food web. Diverse groups of metabolically active microbial populations of this ecosystem produce economically important bio-active metabolites which have environmental, cosmetic, food and biomedical industrial applications. This book aims to consolidate the research, bridge the knowledge gaps, and stimulate further research on mangrove microbiomes. It provides a valuable resource that benefits the scientific community, academic researchers, healthcare practitioners, and individuals interested in the potential use of microbial populations of mangrove ecosystem in managing bio-efficiencies.

Weekend walk through our local Mangrove forest, thinking about the vital role Mangrove forests play & their need for protection.

"Mangroves are climate heroes"

Carbon sequestration: "they are some of the most carbon-rich ecosystems on the planet, storing on average 1,000 tonnes of carbon per hectare in their biomass and underlying soils."

Officials broke ground last week on the Airport of the Pacific near the coastal town of La Unión, in eastern El Salvador, where mangrove ecosystems support wildlife and prevent coastal erosion.

While the project could bring thousands of jobs to an undeveloped part of the country, it could also lead to massive development where coastal habitats currently protect drinking water for local communities.

Mongabay Environmental News · Mangroves at risk as El Salvador begins work on new airportConstruction has begun on a new international airport in El Salvador despite ongoing concerns that the project will lead to rapid development near vulnerable wetlands and other coastal ecosystems. Officials broke ground February 25 on the Airport of the Pacific near the coastal town of La Unión, in eastern El Salvador, an area rich in […]

"Conserving and restoring Southeast Asia’s carbon-rich peatlands and mangroves could mitigate more than 50 per cent of the region’s land-use carbon emissions, according to a new international study published in Nature Communications".

EurekAlert!Peatlands and mangroves key to reducing carbon emissions in Southeast Asia, finds international studyConserving and restoring Southeast Asia’s carbon-rich peatlands and mangroves could mitigate more than 50 per cent of the region’s land-use carbon emissions, according to a new international study published in Nature Communications. Despite occupying just 5 per cent of the region’s terrestrial land, these ecosystems play an outsized role in emission reduction efforts, making them crucial for meeting climate targets across ASEAN countries. The research study, conducted by an international team of scientists from the National University of Singapore (NUS), with contributions from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) and James Cook University in Australia, highlights the significant climate benefits of conserving and restoring peatlands and mangroves.

A #Seychelles Shoreline Resists the Rising Seas eos.org/articles/a-seychelles-

"#Mangroves on the atoll were harvested until it became a protected site in the 1970s. Since then, the shoreline of one of the atoll’s islands, Picard, has accreted up to 161m as flourishing #MangroveForests trap and retain sediment... #Aldabra’s resilience to #SeaLevelRise is likely linked to its high protection status"

David Borbón and his community are working to restore mangroves in a fishing village within Mexico’s El Vizcaíno Biosphere Reserve, one of the country’s largest protected areas.

With the support of his family and community, he has now planted more than 1.8 million mangroves and largely facilitate the recovery of the mangrove ecosystem.

Mongabay Environmental News · After trial and error, Mexican fishers find key to reforesting mangrove havenWhen David Borbón first arrived in the village of El Delgadito in 1980, it was a paradise with seemingly unlimited natural resources. He continued to return seasonally to fish for lobster, sea bass and clams. Located on the Pacific coast of Baja California Sur in Mexico, El Delgadito juts out into the mouth of the […]

"Globally, the researchers determined that #mangroves save around $855 billion through #FloodProtection as of 2020, with the highest monetary value from mangroves found in China, Vietnam, Australia, the U.S. and India."

“The results are clear: Mangroves play a critical role in reducing flood risks and should be viewed as valuable natural assets.”

A new tool aims to help managers of mangrove restoration projects track their progress and measure final outcomes against initial goals.

The Mangrove Restoration Tracker Tool was developed by the University of Cambridge, WWF and the Global Mangrove Alliance in a bid to streamline global data on mangrove restoration projects around the world.

Mongabay Environmental News · How are mangrove restoration projects doing?: Interview with Tom WorthingtonWhere are mangrove restoration projects taking place? How many of them are successful? If they’ve failed, what happened? Finding answers to these questions isn’t easy. But those answers are critical to track how the world is working to protect a fast-degrading ecosystem. A team of researchers and conservationists have now developed a tool to streamline […]

The Importance of #Mangroves

#Florida mangroves provide protection from #storms, nurseries for #wildlife and recreation for people.

Threats to #MangroveForests

"Unfortunately, there are many challenges that place mangrove forests under threat. Human impact such as #dredging, #filling, #WaterPollution from #herbicides and #development can lead to mangrove erosion and #HabitatDestruction. When mangrove forests are cleared and destroyed, they release massive amounts of #CarbonDioxide into the atmosphere, contributing to #ClimateChange."
