The Wonder Mangroves
Mangrove
Few places in the Philippines take part in answering the global message: Save our Seas. I’m so proud that in our place, there is this so called sanctuary area. I can really see how it benefited the people in our place, benefits due to declaring the specific part of our sea as protected area. Fishes are now abundant compared before. Thanks to the hundreds of mangroves that are planted in the protected area for being responsible for these.
Mangroves are very important to fishes and other sea creatures but also to human being. For fishes it serves as their home but for human mangroves are more than that.
