Mangrove ecosystems are crucial for coastal protection as they can reduce wave energy by up to 66%, helping to prevent erosion and storm damage. They also serve as essential nursery habitats for many fish species, supporting the livelihoods of millions of people who depend on fishing. Moreover, mangroves play a vital role in carbon sequestration, with the ability to store up to 1,000 tons of carbon per hectare. However, these ecosystems are currently under threat from deforestation and climate change, with an estimated annual loss of 1-2%.
