| Sumario: | The present work is the result of an information gathering in the feld oriented to identify the ecological characteristics of the mangrove ecosystem present near the Navy School “Almirante Padilla”, such as mangrove species present in the study area and its associated fauna. Relevant information to design an ecological path that manages to show in all its dimensions the relevance of the mangrove forest that goes from the great biodiversity it houses to the protection it provides to the coasts against natural disasters and erosion. The type of research was defned as exploratory (Ávila 2006), since it is the frst proposal of this nature in the ENAP, with a qualitative approach (Fernández, 2000) since the information collected has that origin; It should be noted that the following steps were developed for the design of the path: 1) Recognition of the study area; 2) Identifcation of observation stations; 3) Development of the ecological path scheme. Taking into account the above, the objective of the research is focused on the construction of a pedagogical tool (ecological path) aimed at making known “in situ” all the benefts that the ecosystem of mangrove brings to the environment and society in general, provided for its conservation and sustainable use over time.
