Abstract

The Mangroves are highly threatened by certain ecologically condition and there arise a need of critical management and protection of those species because of vital role in protecting the coastal areas of their ecosystem. The diversity of these plants with respect to genetics is well understood but the genetic variations of those species in gulf countries were scattered on the basis of reports from literature. The main aim of the current review is to collect all the available literature for creating a comprehensive viewpoint of different works on the basis of genetic variations in Mangroves. With so little known, it will be important to monitor the responses of mangroves to global warming to minimize the impacts and reestablishing mangroves.

Highlights

Mangroves were productive and serve as a biologically significant component of the sea, land and tropical interface of subtropical regions[1]
Mangrove forest are exposed on rockiest shorelines, they occupy all regions between mean sea level to highest spring tide in tropical and subtropical latitudes making these forest daily subjected to tidal changes in water height, salt concentration and temperature
In a field study of Wardrop et al (1987), mature and dwarfed mangrove, Avicennia marina were assessed with the relative toxicities of Australian crude oils produced Tirrawarra and Arabian Light were dispersed and mixed together and the sub-lethal effects were monitored for 3 years by including the factors of pneumatophore damage, defoliation, leaf damage, abnormalities in flower and fruits

Summary

Introduction

Mangroves were productive and serve as a biologically significant component of the sea, land and tropical interface of subtropical regions[1]. Studies to assess the extinction risks of mangrove species found that 70 species of mangroves, stand at elevated threat of extinction and could disappear within the decade. This loss will have devastating economic and environmental consequences for coastal communities due to the importance of these species for the livelihood of indigenous populations[17]. Climate threats to coastal regions reverberate well beyond the shoreline Both farmland affected by saltwater incursion and fisheries menaced by higher ocean acidity feed populations distant from the water’s edge. A more globally representative view of mangroves would allow us to better understand the importance of mangrove type and landscape setting in determining system resiliency to future climate change[18]
