Mangroves in Singapore.
Singapore, located 137km north of the Equator has an average daily temperature of 26.7ºC, annual rainfall of 2353mm. In the 1800s, 13% of Singapore's land was covered by the mangroves, however, today, only 2.4% of the land are mangroves found. Due to land reclamation , the percentage of mangroves found in Singapore had decreased.
Currently, most mangroves are found at the northern area. These mangroves are the last few left. The mangrove is a productive ecosystem and we rely on it heavily. Mangroves 
seeds found in Ice provide us with food, e.g. the attap chee in ice-Kacang, Seafood. Mangroves do provide us with building materials such as wood use to build kelongs. Mangroves are lost through land reclamation, IT's a must to protect the remaining and NOT let it LOST FOREVER!
