Green Shields of the Shore: The Untold Power of Mangroves
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Mangroves are dense, tangled woods where land meets the sea, found around the world's tropical and subtropical coastlines. These distinct ecosystems, sometimes unappreciated and undervalued, are among the world's most productive and biologically diverse places. In addition to serving as the vital link between marine and terrestrial ecosystems, mangroves have enormous beneficial impacts on the environment, the economy, and the climate. Their root systems serve as the green shields of nature, absorbing vast amounts of carbon, promoting marine biodiversity, and protecting coastlines from storm surge.
