I am in need of knowing the general threshold values (optimal ranges) for mangrove growth and rehabilitation, for the following water/sediment parameters?
- Bio-chemical Oxygen Demand (BOD)
- Chemical Oxygen Demand (COB)
- Colour
- pH
- Temperature
- Total Suspended Solids (TSS)
- Organic Matter Content (OM)
- Electric Conductivity (EC)
- Cation Exchange Capacity
- Sediment Texture (Particle Size)
Well,
You can approach the thresholds used in keeping & cultivation of mangroves,

Regards
These, parmameters already for a ideal to sustain good ecosystem charcters and that has to be mainatin by with an ideal managment of all practices adoptd for mangrooves conservation. Need to refer the protocl for water use and their properties by FAO .
