Mangrove serves very important functions for the environment, ecology and economy. Mangrove protects the sea from abrasion and also tsunami. Mangrove has an ecological function in providing essential food chain resources for fish, birds, reptiles, amphibian and other endangered species and even the place for them to breed. The fruit of mangrove could be used for syrups and crackers. Mangroves convert Carbon Dioxide (CO2) to Oxygen (O2) which can help hinder global warming and climate change. |
