The convergence of nature and technology offers a promising path toward sustainable development. The demand for eco-friendly and sustainable technologies has accelerated the advancement of green nanotechnology, particularly in the synthesis of Ag and Au nanoparticles. Mangroves, with their rich phytochemical profile and unique ability to adapt to harsh environments, serve as powerful bioreactors for producing metallic nanoparticles. These biologically synthesized nanoparticles demonstrate notable antimicrobial, catalytic, and environmental remediation properties, aligning well for green chemistry and economy circular principles. Traditional nanoparticle synthesis methods often involve the use of toxic chemicals and energy processes that cause environmental problems. Green synthesis using plant extracts, microorganisms, and biopolymers provides a stable, environmentally friendly alternative. The green synthesis of metal nanoparticles from bioresources derived from mangroves is explored in this review, and it is based on the economic substitutes and environmentally friendly methods of traditional chemical and physical methods. This study reviews the fundamentals, benefits, and latest developments in eco-friendly methods for producing Au and Ag nanoparticles. It also highlights their potential applications in agriculture, water treatment, medicine, environmental engineering, and sustainable industrial practices, demonstrating their role in harmonizing technology with nature for a healthier environment.
