On July 26th each year, the UN marks the International Day for the conservation of Mangrove Eco-system, commonly known as ‘Mangrove Day’ around the world.
Mangroves are a beautiful and rare boundary that protects our lives by safeguarding land from being devoured by the ocean, contributing to the protection, security, and well-being of our coastal communities. Not only do they provide valuable food resources and habitat for oceanic species, but Mangroves are also the primary coastal defense system protecting us from storms, rising sea levels, tsunamis, and erosion.
