Benefits of Mangroves
Mangrove Swamps offer mankind many benefits, including, but not limited to:
- Mangroves are extremely important for supporting the fisheries industry which generates a high amount of revenue.
- Mangroves are a rich source of timber which can be harvested on a sustainable basis.
- Other mangrove products are also used, including the harvesting of mangrove plants for a wide range of medicinal uses.
- Some mangrove animals, like the proboscis monkeys of Borneo with their unusual noses, are tourist attractions and thus generate income.
