Sea Forests
Mangrove, also known as forests of the sea, mainly makes its habitat in a beach line and estuaries.
Mangrove forests provide hideouts and shades to fish and are suitable for laying eggs. They also act as a nature-made breakwater.
In 2004, there was Indian Ocean Earthquake and it was proved that tsunami’s damage was lessened in an area where mangrove forests existed.
However, even mangrove forests are being destroyed. The main reasons behind the destruction are unplanned development of aquafarming for shrimps, harvesting forests for a charcoal, and drilling for tin. Most of the shrimp and charcoal that the Japanese consume are from mangroves from Southeast Asia.
Revitalization and conservation of mangrove forests, which are strongly connected to our life style as well as community, are one of more trees’s critical missions.
Though not forests, coral reefs are also vital to biodiversity in sea and fixate the CO2 volume in water. However, the increase in sea temperature and rapid change of the environment are causing harm to them.
In a long term, more trees extends its activity to conservation of coral reefs.
