Abstract
The protected area of Nayband is located at 320 kilometres southeast of Bushehr Province and that is of particular interest due to its unique ecosystem. The specific plant species of the region is Harra (scientific name: Avicennia marina) of Verbenaceae family which is a kind of tree of the mangrove plants and represent specific ecosystems in the tropics and it is result of accumulation of very special flora and fauna in the coastal deltas and rivers and bays where they are exposed to permanent tides. With an area of 390 hectares, this area of mangrove forests is the largest remaining mangrove forests in longitude above 27 degrees in South West Asia in terms of dense community. This paper deals with ecological mangrove forests. The related data were collected and then the area was visited to evaluate the circumstances of the ecosystem. Next, the related data were extracted and combined and finally some suggestions are offered for improving ecosystem.
期刊介绍：
Journal of Integrated Coastal Zone Management / Revista de Gestão Costeira Integrada is a peer-reviewed international journal that publishes articles dealing with all the subjects related to coastal zones and their management, namely focused on coastal oceanography (physical, geological, chemical, biological), engineering, economy, sedimentology, sociology, ecology, history, pollution, laws, biology, anthropology, chemistry, politics, etc. Published papers present results from both fundamental as well as applied, or directed research. Emphasis is given to results on interdisciplinary contributions, on management tools and techniques, on innovative methodological or technical developments, on items with wide general applicability, and on local or regional experiments that can be a source of inspirations to other regions. Journal of Integrated Coastal Zone Management is focused on coastal environments what means that embraces a wide area that extends from an indefinite distance inland to an indefinite limit seaward.
