Description

This presentation will focus on mangroves, tropical trees and shrubs that create diverse ecosystems that protect the shoreline from rough weather. These trees are unique not only because of the way that they look, but also because of how versatile they are. Being used as nurseries for young species of crabs, fish, and birds, they allow for many species to flourish. They also are powerful filters and carbon storers, ridding the water around them of harmful or harsh sediments and storing carbon within them to help battle the climate crisis. Mangroves are so important in fact, that MSUM’s Oceanarium has an exhibit dedicated to them and how they help to improve our world.
