The Ecological, Environmental, and Economical Values of Mangroves

Mangroves support a large food web with a huge variety of organisms, from fallen leaves to animals at lower and higher levels like larger fish and birds. They retain nutrients, provide diverse habitats, breeding sites, and feeding grounds, supporting a vast food web. Additionally, mangroves protect shorelines from erosion, maintain ecological balance in coastal ecosystems, trap and stabilize sediments, and expand shore areas. Economically, they supply food in the form of detritus to support marine life and fisheries, benefiting aquaculture.

  5. Ecological Values Huge Variety of Lives

  6. Ecological Values • Retain Nutrients • Provide diverse habitats, breeding sites and feeding grounds • Hence supporting a large food web

  7. Environmental Value • Protect the shorelines from erosion due to currents, waves, wind and storm • Maintain the stability and ecological balance of coastal and marine ecosystems • Trap and stabilize sediments, and expand shore area

  8. Economic Values • Supply food, e.g. the detritus containing mainly of fallen leaves and branches, to feed the marine environment of immense varieties of sea life, and hence supporting fisheries and aqua-culture.
