Our group for English alternate assessment is doing a PowerPoint presentation for mangrove swamp conservation. Before I did the research on mangrove swamps, I thought that mangrove swamps were boring places with many trees and different plants but after collecting information on that place, I found out that it’s a place full of many different plants and animals like mangrove trees alone already have three species of them, the red (Rhizophora mangle), white (Laguncularia racemosa) and black (Avicennia germinans) mangrove.
From the research, I found out that mangrove trees are actually trees that can survive in salt water. Mangroves protect coastal communities from the storms and hurricanes as have roots that protrude out of the soil. Some animals need the mangrove trees to survive, example, sometimes there may be oysters stuck onto the mangrove tree's roots and fishes use mangrove roots as shelters. This explains that mangrove trees are so special and that we should protect all mangrove trees left in the world.
