This study aims to generate and/or establish scientific data about the biodiversity assessment, carbon stock estimation and assessing potential community-based mangrove forest management strategies. Moreover, its results may be of value to concerned government and community stakeholders who intend to work towards the establishment of community-based mangrove forest management as avenue for the protection of mangrove and sustaining community livelihood. Mangrove forests are highly beneficial tropical forests, especially to humans by stabilizing coastlines, protect communities from storms, provide critical habitats for many animals, and store vast amounts of carbon. It supports several forms of life, including terrestrial animals, marine animals, and humans. It is also used as a source of lumber and firewood, but they also provide indirect benefits. These include their ability to absorb wave energy and serve as buffers against storms, their ability to filter the water from sediments before flowing unto the sea, a natural habitat for birds and marine life forms, including its function as nurseries and spawning grounds for aquatic life forms such as shrimp and milkfish and a source of food for marine fauna through the detritus food chain.
