Abstract
Protocol elaborated within the framework of the GEF SAMP Project. The methodology describes the field methods for data collection of the variables that make up the indicator, such as species mangrove density, mangrove basal area, regeneration, number of propagules per mangrove species, and abundance of resident birds. The ICTBM assesses the general condition of biotic integrity and, therefore, the conservation status of mangrove forests and change over time, based on the incorporation of information on these variables into a single numerical value calculated as a geometric weighted average.
