| description | This is a literature review of the distribution, salient features, uses, and conservation of mangroves in the Caribbean and Latin America. These ecosystems have played a vital role in the development of the region and their value increases as tropical countries develop and commercialize their coastal zones. Unfortunately, markets ignore or underestimate the value of products and non-market services from mangroves. Science informs and improves the effectiveness of the conservation of mangroves. Professional management with participation of all sectors of society also benefits the conservation of mangroves. Understanding mangrove ecosystems requires consideration of multiple spatial and temporal scales and attention to paradoxes that can lead to ineffective conservation measures. The review includes guidelines for mangrove restoration and conservation. |

Ésta es un revisión de la literatura sobre la distribución, las características sobresalientes, los usos y la conservación de los manglares en el Caribe y América Latina. Estos ecosistemas han desempeñado un papel vital en el desarrollo de la región, incrementando su valor conforme los países tropicales desarrollan y comercializan sus zonas costeras. Desafortunadamente, los mercados ignoran o subestiman el valor de los productos y los servicios no comerciales de los manglares. Las ciencias proporcionan información y contribuyen a mejorar la efectividad de la conservación de los manglares; el manejo profesional, con la participación de todos los sectores de la sociedad resultan también benéficos para la conservación de los manglares. El conocer a los manglares como ecosistemas requiere de la consideración de múltiples escalas espaciales y temporales, poniendo atención a las paradojas que pueden conducir a tomar medidas no efectivas para la conservación. Esta revisión incluye guías para la restauración y conservación de los manglares.
