Coastal forests, known as mangroves, are vital ecosystems comparable to tropical rainforests, boasting remarkable biodiversity and productivity. Their unique aerial roots create a protective network in saltwater environments, serving as vital habitats for various species, including fish and birds, essential for human sustenance. These forests play a crucial role in coastal erosion prevention and offer numerous resources to local communities. Although diverse, all mangroves share a fragile nature, facing significant threats that jeopardize their existence.
