**7. Conclusion**

With the proposed synopsis, we have a broad overview of the systematic and taxonomic information of mangrove species in Mexico, which is not easily found in a single compendium, so that their contribution is of special interest to students of the upper levels, as well as the people who are interested in the topic of mangroves. A thorough investigation was undertaken on the meaning of their scientific names, an exercise that is not very common in the disclosure of species fills that gap of information. The topics of its importance, uses, and protection were approached with the most recent knowledge available, complemented by the authors' opinions. In relation to the importance of the mangroves, the species that are found listed in irrigation in the NOM-059-SEMARNAT-2010 [24] and that inhabit the mangroves stand out. The uses of mangrove species have not yet been addressed by citizen participation research in which use values are discussed; only references are made in relation to surveys among the inhabitants, and there is a lack of information. Legislation that protects mangroves is effective in the written word, but greater vigilance is needed in their compliance; their conservation strategies are carried out through decrees of Natural Protected Areas and Ramsar Sites but there are still strategic mangrove sites that they must be incorporated. The support granted to the rehabilitation and restoration of the mangroves is used by the inhabitants who adjoin these communities; the non-governmental organizations and the researchers of universities and institutes are to work in favor of this precious resource.
