  abstract = {{M}angrove estuaries are keystone habitats for many marine species, but their contribution to the tropical coastal fisheries is threatened by increasing anthropogenic pressures, including overfishing. {T}hus, the implementation of marine protected areas in mangroves is motivated by the need to ensure the fishing community's food security and economic livelihood, but there is a lack of affordable methods to monitor the effect of this management on fish. {H}ere, we explored how passive acoustic monitoring ({PAM}) could be utilized in a case study of the {S}ine {S}aloum estuary, {S}enegal. {W}e compared biodiversity indices based on {PAM} and scientific fishing in two contrasted areas, one being heavily fished and the other protected. {W}e computed fish sound abundance, richness, and diversity indices from underwater recordings in both areas in 2020 and 2024, and compared them to those obtained from conventional fish sampling methods. {A}coustic-based indices were in accordance with fishingbased indices and showed anticipated differences between protected vs. exploited areas. {T}his first {PAM} assessment in underwater mangrove suggests it might be a useful tool for {MPA} monitoring in this type of habitats, and open the way to continuous, fishery-independent, non-intrusive fish assemblage monitoring system. {S}uch monitoring system would contribute to the establishment and acceptance of protected areas in mangroves ecosystems.},
