Benefits of the Mangrove Tree
Mangroves are the only evergreen forest in the Gulf and have a unique ability to survive in this habitat.
Because of their ability to sequester carbon, removing up to 5 times more carbon from the atmosphere compared to other types of tree, one of the major benefits of mangroves is their ability to reduce the harmful greenhouse gases which cause climate change. Mangrove trees are one of the planets primary carbon capture systems.
Mangrove forests are considered a breeding ground for many marine and aquatic fish, shrimp, snails and crabs, and they also represent a suitable environment for the reproduction of seasonal and migratory birds.
Not only are mangrove forests prime breeding sites, but they also help eliminate liquid pollutants in the water and protect the marine environment, by improving the quality of water which promotes the growth of different types of coral reefs.
