Unfortunately, the risk of quickly losing mangrove forests, as previously
discussed (Duke et al., 2007; Sandilyan & Kathiresan, 2012), has not been sufficient to awaken authorities and
researchers worldwide to the danger. This paper shows clearly the lower scientific interest in mangrove as a
source of research, especially concerning to its biotechnological potentialities. It is assumed that increasing the
scientific knowledge about an ecosystem of easy access for several countries is fundamental to raise their
chances of preservation and will increase and can force international collaboration in biotechnological and
economic researches on this ECE.
