CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION “Mangroves live life on the edge” (Warne‚ 2007). Some parts of the mangrove roots are submerged on the water and the other parts are on the land. The mangroves serve as a support system to biodiversity. However‚ according to World Wild Fund or WWF (n.d.)‚ the world already lost more than 35% of its mangrove forest. Mangroves are also responsible for carbon sequestration. According to United States Environment and Protection Agency (n.d.)‚ carbon sequestration is capturing

Salt Marshes‚Mangroves‚and Coral Reefs Salt Marshes • Salt marshes are found along low lying coastlines where boggy ground is flooded by sea water either daily or less frequently. • Many UK salt marshes have been reclaimed for farm land‚ but those that remain provide valuable habitats where salt-tolerant plants grow and birds nest. Salt marshes also pay a vital role for coastal protection‚ they contain creeks which allow tidal waters to flow both in and out which reduces the wave energy
