It describes pressures that threaten mangroves, including land conversion, pollution near estuaries, and challenging conditions of salt, tides, and low oxygen in mud. The booklet highlights mangroves’ ecological role: reducing coastal erosion, creating nursery habitats for fish, supporting diverse marine life, and contributing to the storage of carbon to help address climate impacts.","Magnificent Mangroves Protecting coasts, fostering  \nfish and storing carbon  \nMissionAssist  \nEnglish Environment  \nMagnificent Mangroves Protecting coasts, fostering fish and storing carbon  \nThank you for using MissionAssist Shell Books  \nWhere an asterisk (*) appears in the text, the word after it is likely to have local variations and you should change it to suit your own particular setting.  \nInstead of using personal names, we have used *M1, *M2 or *F1, *F2 etc to show male or female characters. Please change these forms to local male or female names.  \nYou can also substitute local names for plants, medicines, vaccines, food, tools, animals or any other item.  \nIf you can, ask a local medical or nutritional expert to verify the advice given in a booklet, if appropriate.  \nYou can change the text as you desire and you can also change any of the illustrations if you need to.  \nWhen you print the book it will be A5 size, each page on a separate sheet. If you want to make it into an A5-sized booklet, Word can do this automatically for you.  \nYou should:  \n• Go to “File”  \n• Select “Print”  \n• click on “Page Setup”  \n• From the “multiple pages” drop-down box, select “Book fold”.  \n• Click “ok”.

What’s so special about them? Unlike most other trees they are happy to live with their roots in salt water. That is why you usually find them growing along coasts, wherever the water is warm enough, [i.e. in](i.e. in)[ ](i.e. in)[tropical and subtropical regions of the world.](tropical and subtropical regions of the world.)  \nThe country with the biggest area covered by mangroves is Indonesia, which is not at all surprising since Indonesia consists of a huge number of islands, both large and small. Each island has its own coastline and therefore offers an ideal environment for mangroves to grow and thrive.  \nHowever, even in places which should be ideal for mangroves there may be other factors which make it hard for them to survive. The land on which they grow may be taken for shrimp farming or other kinds of development, such as tourist resorts.  \nIf they are growing beside an estuary, there may be chemicals flowing down from factories that pollute the soil around the mangroves and make it hard for them to grow well. Mangroves already have a difficult life because of dealing with the salt that surrounds them, and the tides that wash in and out along the coast.  \nThere are several different species of mangrove trees. Many of them have stilt-like roots above water, which help to keep the trees stable despite the movement of the tides. They also have smaller roots under water, which have to cope with big changes in salinity. This can vary according to how much freshwater reaches the roots from rivers as they reach ","cbCailH7R2yMH2FY","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCailH7R2yMH2FY","pdf",361502,5,1,16,"English","en",105,"# Magnificent Mangroves\n## Mangrove habitats and species\n## Threats to mangrove forests\n## How mangroves protect coasts and support life","[{\"question\":\"Why do mangrove trees grow along coasts?\",\"answer\":\"Mangroves can live with their roots in salt water, so they grow where coastal waters are warm enough to support them.
