  9. The important to save the Mangroves is because Mangroves are highly productive ecosystems which are not only able to provide a range of valuable forest products, but also maintain estuarine water quality and play crucial roles in the life cycle of many commercially important species of fish and prawns.

  22. MANGROVES are highly productive forests growing along tropical tidal mudflats and along shallow water coastal areas extending inland along rivers, streams and their tributaries where the water is generally brackish.

    Mangroves has salt glands for high salinity of saltwater; It has specialized roots and breathing structures; seeds are viviparous; it has thick, waxy and succulent leaves to conserve water.

  23. Mangroves play a vital role in protecting coral reefs and seagrasses from siltation and eutrophication. Mangroves also function as a sink for atmospheric carbon dioxide, a major contributor to global warming.Loss of mangroves will have a serious economic impact on both fisheries and coastal communities. In developing countries, mangroves have proven critical for saving human lives by their dampening of the wave heights and wind speeds during coastal storms. So let’s save it…by running in condura marathon!!!

  28. Believe it or not, I was not able to graduate on time during my college because of “mangroves”. I was not able to defend my thesis during its supposed length of study/research since I wanted to make sure that mangroves, really, contributes to the diversity of species in the ecology. I have to get back to the site again and again on foot or by a row boat to see it for myself.

  34. Why do you think it’s important to save the Mangroves?

    I think we should save mangroves, because mangroves used for house building, furniture, transmission as well as telephone poles and certain household items. When these activities are managed appropriately it is possible to derive timber products from mangrove forests without significant environmental degradation, and while maintaining their value as a nursery and a source of food for commercial capture fisheries.

  36. Mangroves, admittedly, are not only important but crucial for the coastal areas. Since estuarine areas are highly populated areas, the slightest ecological imbalance will take a heavy toll. They play a vital role in stabilizing these areas. No engineering and technological solutions can be sought for stabilizing these areas. Even if we negate all benefits of mangroves as forests, their value as “protector of shore-line” is enough to convince us for conserving them.

  39. Mangroves are home to millions of organisms, for both sea and land creatures. Not to mention the free oxygen it produces everyday! It’s very important to conserve and protect whatever what’s left of our natural resources, not only for the future of humanity, but for the well being of the entire planet! Hooray for mangroves!!!

    why do i think its important to save the mangroves?

    Mangroves provide many benefits to man and the marine environment.many people are aware of these mangrove benefits, few of us know about one of the most important contributions these trees make to marine ecology. That contribution is in the form of the leaf litter that falls from mangroves and is subsequently broken down by microorganisms to begin the first link in the food chain for a large segment of the tropical aquatic community, including most of our important commercial and sport fish species.

    other benefit of it are

    Source of cheap fuel
    Buffer against storms
    Habitat of various kinds of organisms
    Mangroves add beauty to the landscape
    Mangroves sequester carbon

  56. Mangroves also serve as protection against soil erosion. “Mangroves function as the goalkeepers of nutrients and sediments from the land,” WRI’s Dr. Burke said. “They stabilize sediments facilitating coral reef development in areas that might otherwise have too much silt for coral growth.”

    Aside from that, it is important to save Mangroves because it provides nourishment, habitat and refuge to various species of fishes, crustaceans and other marine life whose grown ups replenish our marine ecosystem.

  92. A thick patch of trees or cluster of trees is known as mangroves , mangroves are useful in many ways, such as they
    1. Taking in CO2 and releasing oxygen;
    2.Releasing carbon and mineral elements such as nitrogen and phosphorus (important in plant growth) as they decay;
    3.Absorbing moisture for growth and releasing it as vapor through transpiration
    4.Preventing erosion by reducing the force of rainfall at the soil surface and by intercepting and absorbing water, rather than allowing it to run off directly;
    5.Harboring a diversity of wildlife;
    6.Acting as windbreaks;
    7.Providing us with shade and beauty on a largely agricultural and urban landscape
