Abstract
Mangroves, a major wetland type in the intertidal belt, are one of the most productive ecosystems in the world. With their annual disappearance at the rate ~1%, mangrove conservation through plantation has gained an unprecedented significance in the recent decades. Many South and Southeast Asian countries are regularly engaged in mangrove restoration initiatives through massive plantation initiatives. Akin to this trend, mangrove wetland restoration in terms of plantation is underway in the Indian state of Gujarat where plantation to the tune of 30,000 ha has been completed so far. The Gulf of Kachchh (GoK) coast of Gujarat in India has witnessed sustained mangrove plantation efforts in the last two decades. Avicennia marina is the preferred candidate species in this region due to its environmental plasticity.
