Mangrove benefits

Mangroves are important to the environment. They provide a nursery to the different marine fish that inhabit the area. Because the roots can keep out the many bigger predators. Also they provide nutrients to the ground and help maintain the soul. The mangroves are able to filter the sediment and toxins within the water and keep them from passing. They also act as buffer zones for the communities that live in the area. Villages are not as prone to destruction from hurricanes when built behind mangroves. Finally mangroves are beneficial to the ecosystem because of the oxygen they produce as well as soil nutrients.
