Coral Triangle Pacific Team Visits Mangrove Conservation Park in the Philippines for Knowledge Exchange
Detritus material from fallen mangrove leaves, along with the microorganisms that cover it, becomes food for snails, shrimps, clams, and other small animals. People depend on mangroves for food, fuel, medicine and building materials. The protection and conservation of remaining mangrove forests and restoration of degraded mangrove areas are of paramount importance to the Coral Triangle.
