This document provides information on mangroves in Pangasinan province, Philippines. It details that there are 469 hectares of existing mangrove area across 13 coastal municipalities. A mangrove nursery produces 80,000-100,000 seedlings annually of 12 mangrove species. Over 300,000 seedlings have been planted since 2008 across 51 hectares of coastal area and 87 km of riverbanks. Partnerships with various organizations support mangrove reforestation and community education. Studies show enhanced fish catches and storm protection benefits from reforested mangrove areas. The program has received several awards for its coastal management.

9. Serve as breeding/sanctuaries and nursery grounds of fishes and crustaceans including migratory birds (Bani and Alaminos City)
The specialized roots (pneumatophores and adventitious) can trap sedimentation carried by runoffs from the upstreams thus minimizing erosion along riverbanks and preventing offshore sedimentation in seagrass beds and coralline areas (Bolinao, Anda, Alaminos City, Agno, Bani, Infanta, Dasol, Sual) Importance of Mangrove

10. Serve as barrier along the coastal residents during storm surge and typhoons
Source of livelihood
Aquasilviculture (Bani, Anda, Alaminos City)
Nypa shingles, vinegar and wine making produced from nypa (Bugallon)
Shell gathering (Bolinao, Anda, Alaminos City, Agno, Dasol, Infanta)
Income (tourism – MPA Bani)
Importance of Mangrove
Help mitigate the effects of Climate Change which is the most challenging problem of our country today;
