Restoration of wetlands such as mangrove forests, salt marshes, and sea grass provides important protections against climate change, including: carbon sequestration, defense against coastal erosion, barriers against storms, natural water filtration, and habitats for many marine animals. . It is estimated that the soil of mangrove forests can hold some 22 billion tons of carbon. By protecting and restoring these ecosystems, we take a big step towards mitigating climate change. 🌊🌿 .
