Mangroves are woody trees or shrubs that guard the coastlines and offer shelters for a plethora of living things.They bear the brunt of strong ocean waves and thrive despite twice-daily flooding by ocean tides.However,we have witnessed a vast loss of mangrove forests due to human causes,mainly the need to improve people’s livelihoods.It is becoming increasingly urgent to balance the need for economic development and ecological protection of mangrove forests.After all,it is a shame if our next generation loses the chance to lay eyes upon such beautiful sights.
