Mangroves cover around 0.1% of the planet, but sequester around 850 million metric tonnes of carbon dioxide every year. In terms of area, mangroves sequester 10 times more than tropical rainforest. But its not just carbon sequestration that’s important, mangroves are a valuable breeding ground for fish, bacteria on their roots can metabolise plastic, they protect coastal area from erosion and indeed the stabilize the ground and increase the height of the ground. If you look after and protect mangroves it is possible to counter the effect of rising sea level
We are all part of nature and must live in harmony, do no harm and try to do some good
