  2. I was in Palawan a few weeks ago and got to taste Tamilok, a wood worm that lives inside mangrove trees. Tamilok is usually served ceviche style (raw, marinated in vinegar or any acid) and tastes like oysters and is a reported aphrodisiac. We must save the mangroves so there will be a steady supply of Tamilok so I will always run strong and erect!

  6. It is important to save mangroves because they protect shorelines from damaging storm and hurricane winds, waves, and floods. Mangroves also help prevent erosion by stabilizing sediments with their tangled root systems. They maintain water quality and clarity, filtering pollutants and trapping sediments originating from land.

  12. Mangrove Forest is within ecosystem of Seagrassess, coral reef and wide range of marine ecosystem which benefits many kind of animals. Mangroves also limiting and stabilize erosion, also prevent floods. They say that not only marine ecosystem benefits from Mangrove but also for us Humans like in term of Medicines. As per research Mangroves improve our Environment in many ways such as becoming an Anchor, Food Basket as Air Cleaner and others.

  15. Why should we protect mangroves?………..

    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.

  16. Mangroves live life on the edge. With one foot on land and one in the sea, these botanical amphibians occupy a zone of desiccating heat, choking mud, and salt levels that would kill an ordinary plant within hours. Yet the forests mangroves form are among the most productive and biologically complex ecosystems on Earth. Birds roost in the canopy, shellfish attach themselves to the roots, and snakes and crocodiles come to hunt. Mangroves provide nursery grounds for fish; a food source for monkeys, deer, tree-climbing crabs, even kangaroos; and a nectar source for bats and honeybees.

  63. It is important to save mangrove because its root systems provide a filtering system for run-off from the guts of our islands, allowing the sediments to be removed before entering open water. This sediment would otherwise cover and kill coral reef colonies. The mangrove swamp is regularly inundated with salty seawater, but the trees are never fully submerged. With each high tide, the soil surface is covered and the soil often becomes waterlogged. The soil may also be shifted by the waves.

    Mangrove swamps protect the land from soil erosion and the effects of storms. They also act as a form of pollution control, naturally filtering out industrial and human waste. Mangrove swamps, like other wetlands, are important components of the water cycle, absorbing excess water flow during times of flooding.
