Abstract: Large scale coastal plantations with Sonneratia apetala have been established by the Forest Department along the coastline of Bangladesh since 1966. A study was conducted to assess the present stocking and growth performance of this species and status of naturally regenerated mangrove species inside S. apetala plantations. The study was carried out from 17-42 years old S. apetala stands at 20 small islands (chars) of 4 major locations namely Rangabali (Patuakhali), Char Kukri-Mukri (Bhola), Sitakundu (Chittagong) and Hatiya (Noakhali) of Bangladesh. The data on tree density, height and diameter were recorded from originally planted S. apetala plantations. The data on naturally regenerated mangrove species (seedlings, saplings, poles and trees) were also counted from afforested S. apetala plantations. The density of afforested S. apetala per hectare area was ranged between 311-2178 trees, tree height ranged between 6.37-20.66m and diameter at breast height (dbh) ranged between 17.32-34.02cm at different  chars. Totals of 6, 9, 6 and 1 different regenerated mangrove species were found to occur naturally inside S, apetala plantations at Rangabali, Char Kukri-Mukri, Sitakundu and Hatiya sites respectively. The most abundant regenerated species was Excoecaria agallocha in all sites. Others important species were Heritiera fomes, Avicennia officinalis, Bruguiera sexangula at Rangabali; Aegiceras corniculatum, A. officinalis, H. fomes, Phoenix paludosa at Char Kukri-Mukri and Ceriops decandra, A. corniculatum, Tamarix indica, A. officinalis at Sitakundu site. This natural regeneration could be a second rotation multi-storied sustainable mangrove forest in the coastal belt of Bangladesh.
