Benifits of Mangroves

  • Nursery: The mangroves provide a safe nursery for young marine animals
  • Nutrients: Mangroves provide a key nutrient for a lot of marine life, detritus.
  • Sediments: They filter and trap dirt/sediment before it washes out to sea.
  • Toxins: Mangroves in a sense also filter many toxins in the water before they manage to drift out to sea.
  • Buffer System: These help keep the environment intact by providing a corridor for animals to migrate.
  • Ecosystem Corridor: The mangroves are so dense and hard for humans to really get through, which creates a nice human free corridor for many different species and marine life to live.
