Restoration of Mangrove Habitat

Abstract

This technical note provides general guidelines for restoration of mangrove habitat. In the United States, mangroves naturally occur in Florida, Louisiana, and Texas. They also occur naturally in other areas that fall under Corps of Engineers jurisdiction, such as the U.S. Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, and several Pacific Ocean territories. Mangrove populations in Hawaii probably result from recent introductions rather than natural occurrence.
