The state of the art on the media's view of the mangrove ecosystem

The mangrove ecosystem is a transitional environment between land and sea, established in areas under the continuous action of the tides. They are one of the richest environments on the planet and also one of the most fragile in the face of anthropogenic action, representing vitality for various species of birds, molluscs, fish, crustaceans and others. Mangroves have a high fishing yield and represent the basis of subsistence for a large part of the populations that live around the ecosystem. The term "state of the art" is a translation from the English language, with the aim of surveying what is understood about a subject based on research carried out in a given area. Therefore, a study of the media's view of mangroves contributes to our knowledge of how society conveys this information. Thus, the State of the Art is "an exposition of the level of knowledge and development of a field or issue." From this perspective, the focus of the research is essentially exploratory, based on documents in the public domain.
