This research entitled "Growth Response of mangroves in the Different Coastal Areas in Cavite, was conducted at Cavite State University- Rosario. This aimed to determine the following objectives. The conditions of water in the three different coastal areas in Cavite in terms of the following hydrological parameters such as pH, Total Dissolve Solids (TDS) and Turbidity. The significant difference in the condition of water in the three different coastal areas of Cavite: The growth response of mangroves in terms of height in the following coastal areas such as Kawit, Noveleta and Rosario, The difference in the height gained in the three different coastal areas in Cavite, and the relationship between the growth response of mangroves and hydrological parameters in the three different coastal areas in Cavite.

This study used the Descriptive Analysis. Water Samples from Kawit. Noveleta and Rosario were collected and the growth response of mangroves in terms in height was monitored from three consecutive months. Gathered data were tabulated, analyzed and interpreted. This study used the Pearson-Product Correlation as the Statistical Treatment.

The relationship between the mean differences in height of mangroves and Total Dissolve Solids (TDS) is -0.09, which means that there is no relationship between them. While the relationship between the mean differences in height of mangroves and turbidity is -0.94, it is highly negative and it means that there is a relationship between them. These results revealed that water conditions in the three different coastal areas in Cavite affect the growth of mangroves.
