Importance of Coral reef and Mangroves

   

    The world under the sea is beautiful .As some of as know it contains of innumerable marine habitat and sustaining life of colorful aquatic living organism and one of the major aquatic life are coral reef.

   Coral Reef are often called the rain forest of the sea and termed as a type of  living, marine organism which secrete calcium carbonate, it can also reproduce either sexually or as. Like humans, coral reefs make their own ecosystems and also many organisms depend on coral reefs for life and shelter.Base on my own research coral reefs are important because it has so many uses , this can be the source of medicines that has not been discovered yet and there's so many creatures that live here like fish that we depend on for food.Coral Reef provides also income from tourist to the poor countries around the world.And I must say that it is important to protect our Coral Reef because it can't be replace and reefs are also formed by tiny animals called "coral".Each animal is tinier than your pinky nail and grows very slowly for only 1 centimeter a year. The coral reef that we have right now were formed 100s thousand of years and it would take us so many years to grow them back.

      Mangroves like coral reefs it is one of the coastal resource ecosystem found at the crossroad between land and seas,it is important because it protects our coastlines and coastal communities from waves, typhoons and tidal currents. As what i have read mangroves are very useful in some many ways, it provides nourishment and habitat,it also refresh our air through the production of oxygen and assimilation of carbon dioxide, absorb air and water pollution especially organic waste and provide wholesome shoreline landscape.Mangroves also serve as the nursery area of shrimps ,crustaceans, mollusk, fishes and especially birds.Mangroves can also be our source of wood, charcoal, alcohol and firewood.And now we know that this trees are very helpful to us, but not only to us humans also in all the living organisms that is needing it.
     I just hope that we all take good care of this and let us love and help our mother earth  and plant a mangrove in our coasts and river banks.Hope we will all see that this small things really give us big help so let us not destroy it instead let us care and love it.
