Mangrove ecosystems in the Persian Gulf and Gulf of Oman are vital for biodiversity conservation and the sustenance of coastal communities. This interdisciplinary study explores the ethnobiology of mangroves, integrating ecological, ethnographic, and socio-economic perspectives to provide a comprehensive understanding of humanmangrove relationships in this region. We analyze the biodiversity and ecological dynamics of mangroves, emphasizing their role in coastal protection and habitat provision. Ethnographic insights reveal the cultural significance and traditional knowledge associated with mangroves, highlighting their importance in the local heritage and identity. The socio-economic analysis underscores the economic value of mangroves and the impact of conservation efforts on local livelihoods. Additionally, we address the challenges posed by climate change, deforestation, and pollution, proposing sustainable management strategies that combine traditional practices with modern scientific approaches. By showcasing successful community-led conservation initiatives, this study underscores the potential for sustainable mangrove management that benefits both ecosystems and communities. Our findings provide valuable insights for policymakers and conservationists aiming to protect and sustainably manage mangrove ecosystems in the Persian Gulf and Gulf of Oman.
