Mangrooves, ecosystem services, water, pollution, threatsAbstract
Mangroves are a very important ecosystem of the earth it provides habitat for fauna and flora. It protects the coastal area from degradation. It helps for groundwater recharge, reduces soil erosion protects the coastal areas from tides. Mangroves act as purification of polluted water that comes from rivers or streams to the sea, it absorbs heavy metals from the polluted water and protect the seawater from being polluted. It is very important to plant from marine vegetation.
