What every one of us have to do to save the mangroves?

1. Try to understand the mangroves as much as possible and help others also to understand them.
2. Be careful not to dispose the wastes carelessly, especially if you are living near coast or any water body.

[Separate plastics, decomposable wastes, e-wastes, glass materials and papers, and send them for recycling.]

Do not cut the mangroves and allow others to do that.

No need to create aquaculture and agriculture fields by destroying mangroves. They themselves do the culture – protect the young fish, shrimp, crab – for us. We just need not be greedy.

Make sure not to allow the sewage flow into the mangroves.

Cry for them inwardly, if you find the industrial effluents flowing through the mangroves, and try to do something to avoid it.

Cattle need not be sent to mangroves for grazing.

Plant the mangroves as much as possible, as many species as possible.

Do not use the motor boats for sight-seeing inside mangrove forests.

When you see the mangroves, try to check whether they are healthy or affected. If more crabs and molluscs are seen over the mangrove soil, you can be positive that the mangrove is more productive. Otherwise, be curious to do something beneficial for them.

Try to thank them simply for their presence.
