Abstract: Mangrove is a unique plant community in tropical and sub-tropical coast areas that has multi-ecological benefits. Now there is a total of 38 species of mangrove plants in Hainan,including 26 species of true-mangrove plants and 12 semi-mangrove plants. However,the environmental threats,habitat loss and human disturbance occurred in the mangroves in the last decades,leading to severe damages to the living environment of most of the mangrove species. Community structure in the mangroves tended to become more simple and unstable.Some species,such as Nypa fruticans,Lumnitzera littorea and Sonnerati hainanensis,have been becoming endangered in recent years. A series of suggestions and protection methods are brought forward for the future ecological restoration and landscape application,such as establishing the gene pool for germplasm resource conservation,multiple cropping of the mangrove,improving the legislation system,strengthening research in the mangroves,and promoting the development of remote sensing techniques and the eco-tourism of the wetland.
