Abstract
En Florida, el 80 % de los residentes viven entre 10 millas de la costa. Como resultado, los hábitats costales, como los manglares, han sido significativamente alterados por las actividades humanas. Los manglares urbanos son manglares ubicados en ciudades y zonas residenciales. Por lo tanto, los manglares urbanos pueden ser altamente impactados por la actividad humana, pero a la vez siguen proporcionando importantes servicios ecosistémicos, o beneficios para la sociedad. De hecho, por su ubicación, más personas pueden beneficiarse de estos manglares urbanos que de los manglares prístinos, que a menudo se encuentren en áreas protegidas. El siguiente documento describe el papel de los mangles en áreas urbanas. Este documento está dirigido a los residentes costales, los gestores de recursos costeros, y los planificadores urbanos que quieren aprender sobre los manglares y su importancia en las ciudades.
