        abstract = {Mangrove ecosystems are threatened all over the world, wherever they occur, and it is in the interest of the global community in general and coastal communities in particular to conserve these fragile ecosystems. Keeping this in mind, based on our field observations and data analyses, a mangrove conservation plan has been developed for the mangroves of Vasai Virar City. We hope this section aids in forming conservation priorities of the Vasai Virar City Municipal Corporation for the mangroves under their jurisdiction. 
In this section, we have detailed out the characteristics of each sampling site and identified locations in need of urgent attention in terms of conservation. Sites were assessed based on the overall health of the mangroves and associated fauna, species composition and level of disturbance from anthropogenic pressures. We have later discussed possible measures to curb damage to the disturbed sites.},
