Their location along coastlines means mangroves are at the mercy of changing sea levels and sediment availability. Rising sea ...

Mangrove vegetation, which grows naturally in subtropical shorelines, provides a wide range of ecosystem functions such as reducing coastal erosion, promoting biodiversity, and removing nitrogen, ...

Mother Nature’s best barriers and protection for coastal communities are mangroves. They defend us against storm surge, currents, high waves and tides. Not only do mangroves serve as a natural ...

A new study finds mangrove forests are no longer shrinking worldwide, offering hope for coastal protection and climate ...

Conceptual illustration of how Artificial Mangrove Roots (AMRs) can help reduce end-effect erosion caused by seawalls and revetments. The AMR system allows waves to pass through while helping ...

Mangroves are known to trap plastic waste and stop it entering the sea, but this defense comes at a high cost to mangrove forests themselves, a new study shows. Researchers working in Indonesia’s ...

Researchers from the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center (SERC) recently published a study in the journal Science of the Total Environment introducing the first national estimate of mangrove ...

How mangrove roots interact with water flow is believed to be a key element in mitigating coastal erosion. Researchers are the first to quantify the optimal mangrove root hydrodynamic with a ...
