Importance of Mangrove
Mangrove provides a natural ecosystem to protect shore areas by reducing erosion. It absorbs storm surge impacts during floods and cyclones. They are also super important to the ecosystem. Mangroves’ dense arial root binds and builds soils. A nursery to fish fry (fish babies) and shrimp, provides safe haven for younger animals to hide, feed and grow to adulthood. A carbon sink!
