How Can We Protect Mangroves
A sea without a mangrove is like a tree without any roots. Mangrove forests are vital for our future, a dynamic habitat linking land and sea filtering pollutants to protect sea grasses and corals a living bioshield and protector against storms and tsunamis.
A critical food source that supports 75% of tropical fish catches with a carbon storage capacity up to 5x bigger than rainforests. And a productive home for millions not just people either mangroves are found across the globe between latitudes 32°N and 38°S. And they are disappearing at an alarming rate from....
- shrimp farming, creation of over 1 million hectares of shrimp ponds shrimp farming
- consumption increase of tropical farmed shrimp coastal development - agricultural expansion
- oil palm plantations coastal development
- mangroves cleared for buildings & infrastructure unsustainable tourism
- development of golf courses and pleasure marinas forest overexploitation
- logging for charcoal production
We have lost 35% of mangroves in just 30 years and continue to lose an extra 1% every year. We are dedicated to reversing the decline of mangrove forest ecosystems. The contribution of mangroves to our local marine ecosystem is invaluable. One organization is on a mission to spread that message around the World acting as a network hub sharing information.
