Threats to #MangroveForests
"Unfortunately, there are many challenges that place mangrove forests under threat. Human impact such as #dredging, #filling, #WaterPollution from #herbicides and #development can lead to mangrove erosion and #HabitatDestruction. When mangrove forests are cleared and destroyed, they release massive amounts of #CarbonDioxide into the atmosphere, contributing to #ClimateChange."
The Nature ConservancyWhy Are Mangroves Important?Mangrove forests protect Florida's coast from storm surges & erosion, and provide space for wildlife & recreation. We're restoring mangroves for all to enjoy.
