#Rewilding #Mangrove #FloodDefense

Hé you...
do you sometimes 'look'-up-things-on-the-web' ?
or do 'some-serious-research' ?
Still using those data-mining giants like 'Google' or 'Bing' ?
AND YOU STILL LIKE POSTS LIKE THESE ?
Start using 'Ecosia' instead. Also free but plants trees instead of lining pockets.
It requires you only to change your settings on your phone, lap- or desktop. So you'll use Ecosia as your standard search engine !
Come on. Plant some trees [without even noticing it]

OK back to the video:

To support our work you just need to switch to Ecosia as your search engine. It’s easy and for free: -> ecosia.co/join <-
Wetlands and mangrove ecosystems specifically are literally nature’s home-made flood protection. But most mangrove landscapes have disappeared and about 70 mangrove species are at risk of extinction. Restoring mangrove sites isn’t all that easy and, in fact, even us at Ecosia weren’t doing everything right. We realized we had missed something crucial…

Healthy #mangrove forests can help protect inland areas from #hurricane damage

But coastal development and shrimp farming disrupt mangrove #ecosystems, weakening those protections.

by YCC Team August 24, 2023

"During a hurricane, #TropicalMangroveForests can help buffer inland areas from wind and reduce erosion.

"In the process, these forests themselves may suffer a lot of damage. Strong winds can rip leaves from branches and topple whole trees.

"Ken Krauss of the United States Geological Survey says that how fast mangrove forests recover after a storm depends on how healthy they were beforehand.

"'If they’re healthy before the storm hit, they regenerate fairly quickly,' he says.

"But he says many of the world’s mangrove forests are not healthy.

"For example, coastal development and #ShrimpFarms often change how water flows in and out of these ecosystems.

"That interferes with how mangrove seeds naturally disperse and makes it harder for trees to regrow after a disaster.

"Krauss says there are proven strategies for restoring the natural flow of water through mangrove forests. So he says it’s important to work proactively to repair vulnerable areas.

"'The systems may still take a lot of damage during a storm, even after you fix the hydrology, but the recovery is going to be a lot better,' he says.

"So they will be ready to protect coastal communities again when the next storm comes."

"#Mangrove forests can ... absorb a tremendous amount of #climate-warming carbon—three to five times more per acre than mature tropical forests.

Now, decades of data reveal that, in 20 years of growth, successfully planted mangroves can reach up to 73 percent of the #carbon stock levels found in naturally occurring mangrove stands."

"He said the faster rate of rising sea-level on #Bangladesh's coast will increase the vulnerability of coastal people and their livelihoods.

Salinity, coastal inundation, and storm surge height will increase. It could impact agriculture, food security, disaster management, health, drinking water supply, and coastal infrastructure.

The world's largest #mangrove forest and its ecosystem will be affected by rising sea-level and salinity."

The ecosystems and communities of the #PacificIslands are vulnerable to the consequences of climate change. For example, the area is increasingly affected by extreme weather events, such as #cyclones, which are becoming more frequent and intense.

[In the] Rewa Delta ... a project focused on the community-based restoration of cyclone-affected #mangrove forests has recently been launched."
