| Résumé: | The mangroves constitute an important forest resource in all of the intertropical band of the planet. Mankind actions increase the threat and risks over the ecosystems and this has been more catastrophic than the global climate change itself. This induces new uncertainties in the environmental stability and augments the vulnerability of the critical habitats. Considering the challenge that the economic, social and ecological systems face -in order to know and mitigate the global climate change-, evidences of the functional structure of this ecological system are presented, posing the hypothesis the “the mangroves as a critical forest habitat of the coastal zone present accomodation responses to the environmental variability that induces global change playing an structural and functional role in the stability of the coastline, the persistance of habitats and biodiversity, the metabolism of the ecosystem, reducing risks and uncertainty for the sustainable development of the use of its resources”.
