Mangroves are salt-tolerant species that thrive in coastal areas, providing habitats for various flora and fauna in marine and terrestrial ecosystems and functioning as carbon "sinks." The mangrove forest in Cabilao Grande, Carles, Iloilo, was studied to assess species composition, community structure, and physicochemical parameters, with results indicating eight species from six families, with Rhizophora mucronata having the highest density and Avicennia marina the highest importance value. The study underscores the importance of understanding mangrove diversity for conservation, noting moderately high diversity and balanced evenness but challenges due to natural disasters and human activities.
