Mudskippers in Awe!

Mangrove Forests Fight Climate Change—But Climate Change Is Fighting Back

#MangroveForests are healing after decades of human destruction
by Matt McGrath and Esme Stallard
June 4, 2026"The world's coastal #mangrove forests, which protect millions of people from storms - and soak up vast amounts of planet-warming gases - are staging an unexpected comeback, scientists find.
"For decades these swampy trees had been declining rapidly as they were cleared for fish farms and housing.
"But a new study shows that since 2010 the world has been gaining more mangroves than it has been losing - driven by stronger #LegalProtections and increased #PublicAwareness of their importance, sparked by disasters such as the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami.
"The researchers say the key factor though is the remarkable capacity of these forests to #regenerate naturally once humans stop chopping them down.
"Mangroves are one of the world's unsung #environmental heroes.
"Not only do they store up to five times more #CarbonDioxide than land-based forests, but their tangled roots can also slow down waves and protect coastal communities from #StormSurges and #tsunamis.
"These same roots provide a perfect nursery for many species of fish and other #MarineLife - protecting them from predators and providing ample food.
"These benefits, though, have come under serious threat over the past century as the rise of fish farming, agriculture and the expansion of coastal cities and towns have seen mangroves chopped down and rapidly removed.
"From the 1980s to 2010, over 12,000 sq km (4,600 sq miles) of mangroves were cleared or destroyed across #Asia, #Africa and the #Americas - an area the size of Jamaica.
"However, the new study shows a real reversal of that trend, particularly over the last decade. The total net losses - the forest lost and not replaced - since the 1980s have now been reduced to around 849 sq km (328 sq miles)."

Dans les #Caraïbes, la femelle du #crabe de terre doit absolument pondre en mer afin que les larves planctoniques puissent se nourrir de microplancton et se développer. Avant de revenir vers la terre et creuser des terriers.

Strategic co-location of blue carbon #ecosystems (#BCEs ) such as #mangroves and #seagrasses with #coral #reefs creates a synergistic environment that enhances the restoration and resilience of both #marine systems.

Si l'on fréquente les #mangroves des #Caraibes et de l’ #Atlantique américain, on peut éventuellement rencontrer le #crabe rouge des mangrove.
