Eighty per cent of these forests are found on the eastern coast of India. 14-15 GREEN ZONE MANGROVES: SOLDIERS OF OUR COASTS Mangroves slow down the force of sea waves and thus, protect the coastline. Roots trap silt and sediments that may contain dangerous heavy metals. As a result, clear water washes out into the sea. Honey collectors in the .

In Orissa, successful plantations of Mangroves have been raised, but while planning for activities in the degraded mud flats in the target areas, need of a Technical Manual covering various aspects of Afforestation of Mangroves was felt. Hence, a draft manual was prepared after studying the past efforts and field

Mangroves and mangrove ecosystems have been studied extensively but remain poorly understood. With continuing degradation and destruction of mangroves, there is a critical need to understand them better. Aspects of mangrove biology have been treated in several recent reviews. Tomlinson (1986) described the

These sparse mangroves (area type 2) account for a further 36 ha within the estuary. Mangroves are absent in the sandy areas by the estuary mouth but low mangroves are present in the shelter of the small bay just east of Okiwi airstrip. At the upper mangrove level there is an abrupt cha

led to a reappraisal of their worth. In terms of ecosystem services, wetlands and mangroves have a huge value.
