Benefits of Mangroves

Benefits

- Mangroves provide a safe nursery of young marine animals.


- Mangroves provide detritus for sea grasses and coral reefs. The right nutrients they both need to function.


- Mangroves filter and trap dirt and sediment before it washes into the sea.
- Mangroves also filter toxins from the water before they enter the sea.


- Mangroves establish "buffer zones", which help keep the environment intact by providing a corridor for animals to migrate.
