Best Practice Guidelines on Restoration of Mangroves in Tsunami Affected Areas

Green Coast: for nature and people after the Tsunami
Language(s): English , Contact person: Marie-Jose Vervest , Author(s): Green Coast Project

Mangroves as an ecosystem are capable of performing certain functions or environmental services.

Mangrove plants produce organic matter through photosynthesis and this produces the food for most of the fish and shellfish in the coastal waters.

Fish and shrimp catches increase with the increasing presence of mangroves in the inter-tidal zone.
