Abstract

Mangroves are the only species of trees in the world that can tolerate saltwater. Mangrove supports biodiversity by providing shelter, habitats, nurseries and feeding grounds for many species. Sadly, more than a quarter of all mangrove ecosystems have been lost in the last 40 years. Restoration of mangrove is really a boon to the marine ecosystem; if we plant them again, mangroves will continue to offer many benefits for the ecosystem and for humans too, especially in disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation. This article mainly focus on the necessary of mangrove restoration and its methods, importance of restoring mangroves for our future generation.
