Mangroves are known to provide considerable benefits to fisheries, providing juvenile and adult fish populations with nursery habitat, food, and protection from predation. Studies also show that many fish species depend on both mangroves and coral reefs (4), and there is increasing evidence that coral reefs in the proximity of mangroves are considerably more productive for fisheries than reefs in mangrove-poor areas (4). Future work should consider, for example, methodologies for configuring conservation programs to most effectively incorporate the beneficial impacts of mangroves on fisheries
