Mangrove habitats play an important role along coastlines. They not only provide shelter for coastal, terrestrial and aquatic species but also perform as natural water filter for coral reefs to flourish. Their roots assist to prevent coastal erosion and reduce the damages caused by natural disasters such as cyclones and tsunamis. The mangrove habitats are diminishing due to the increasing residential developments along the coastlines. Hence, it is essential for us to do our part in enhancing the remaining mangrove habitats in Singapore.
