Valuation of mangrove systems in India Mangroves provide a wide range of ecosystem services. 1. They serve as breeding‚ feeding and nursery grounds for many fishes in offshore and inshore waters. 2. They also provide feeding and breeding grounds for birds‚ reptiles and mammals. 3. They are a source of forest products such as firewood‚ timber and honey. 4. The benefits provided by these ecosystems are much wider in range than those provided by concrete seawalls or other physical

Salt Marshes‚Mangroves‚and Coral Reefs Salt Marshes • Salt marshes are found along low lying coastlines where boggy ground is flooded by sea water either daily or less frequently. • Many UK salt marshes have been reclaimed for farm land‚ but those that remain provide valuable habitats where salt-tolerant plants grow and birds nest. Salt marshes also pay a vital role for coastal protection‚ they contain creeks which allow tidal waters to flow both in and out which reduces the wave energy
