The value of small mangrove patches
2019
Mangrovesprovide crucial services to humanity, including food, coastal protection, fisheries support, and carbon sequestration (1). However, up to 35% of
mangrovearea has been lost since the 1980s, primarily due to coastal development (2).
Mangrovesare protected under a plethora of international agreements, and they are key to meeting commitments of the Paris Climate Agreement and mitigating the impacts of a changing climate on coastal communities (3). Despite warnings about the
ramificationsof losing
mangroves(4), conversion and degradation still occur (5), especially for smaller
mangrovepatches.
