In Liberia, #mangroves provide important breeding and nursery areas for many West African marine species of fish, crab, shrimp and mollusks. Thus, mangrove loss negatively impacts fish stocks, leading to reduced food security, and increased dependence on bushmeat for protein.

🌎Mangroves are found along about two-thirds of the planet’s tropical coastlines

🌳These semi-aquatic trees constitute some of the most dynamic and biologically complex ecosystems on Earth

We are excited to share the new coral restoration method we started applying in Villimale coral nurseries! 🌊
By using cement plugs and marine epoxy, we are growing different species of corals, monitoring their responses and their growth rate! 📈

Some great new research from @KAUST_News

The identification of a new mangrove bacteria increases our understanding of #mangroves and provides insight into effective ways of protecting these unique ecosystems, particularly in light of #climate change

"Mangroves are magical forests where we discover nature’s secrets. They straddle the connection between land, sea, nature and humans. Mangrove forests nurture our estuaries and fuel our nature-based economies"
