Mangrove forest: degradation and rehabilitation

Mangroves are highly beneficial as they have many environmental and social functions. They yield many valuable products, while also performing, free-of-cost, many important functions that support the often dense coastal populations. Economically, they are thus highly important, be it at local, regio...
