Mangroves are trees or shrubs that grow in the tropics and subtropics, in saline or brackish water. These trees are uniquely adapted to life under rough coastal conditions: They contain intricate salt filtration systems and root systems that can withstand salt water immersion and wave action, and they can survive the low oxygen levels of waterlogged mud. The roots of a mangrove tree rise up and plunge down into the salty waters of the bay, sprawling in every direction, a clear indication that they thrive in saltwater.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"650\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/igotoffer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/apple-helps-save-a-mangrove-forest-in-columbia-costa-rica.jpg\" alt=\"Mangrove forest in Costa Rica.\" class=\"wp-image-11602\" srcset=\"https:\/\/igotoffer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/apple-helps-save-a-mangrove-forest-in-columbia-costa-rica.jpg 650w, https:\/\/igotoffer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/apple-helps-save-a-mangrove-forest-in-columbia-costa-rica-300x222.jpg 300w, https:\/\/igotoffer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/apple-helps-save-a-mangrove-forest-in-columbia-costa-rica-620x458.jpg 620w, https:\/\/igotoffer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/apple-helps-save-a-mangrove-forest-in-columbia-costa-rica-203x150.jpg 203w, https:\/\/igotoffer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/apple-helps-save-a-mangrove-forest-in-columbia-costa-rica-600x443.jpg 600w, https:\/\/igotoffer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/apple-helps-save-a-mangrove-forest-in-columbia-costa-rica-203x150@2x.jpg 406w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><figcaption>Mangrove forest in Costa Rica.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Mangrove forests are found in 118 countries and territories in the world. Cispat\u00e1 Bay is a perfect example of such a forest. There, a series of channels connect the mangrove area to the Sin\u00fa River, providing access into and out of the mangroves. In these amazing mangrove ecosystems, mangrove bushes suck carbon out of the atmosphere and store it deep under the waterline, in soil and sediments, for thousands of years. In fact, mangrove forests store up to ten times more carbon per acre than land-based forests. In Cispat\u00e1 Bay, 27,000 acres of mangrove forest are in a marine-protected area.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Unfortunately, mangrove forests are very vulnerable: too much river water or too little salt water endangers them. There are other factors that threaten their existence, such as farming and agricultural activity, climate change, and logging and fishing performed by unscrupulous people. Since the 1940s, half of the world\u2019s mangrove forests have been destroyed. What happens when this occurs?These degraded coastal ecosystems become a tremendous source of greenhouse gases, and release as much as a billion metric tons of carbon into the atmosphere annually. Those numbers are equivalent to the total annual emissions from all terrestrial, aquatic, and air vehicles in the U.S. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"650\" height=\"420\" src=\"https:\/\/igotoffer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/apple-helps-save-a-mangrove-forest-in-columbia-map.png\" alt=\"The Cispat\u00e1 marine protected area in C\u00f3rdoba, Colombia includes a 27,000 acre mangrove forest divided into zones that indicate when mangrove workers can use a particular area.\" class=\"wp-image-11603\" srcset=\"https:\/\/igotoffer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/apple-helps-save-a-mangrove-forest-in-columbia-map.png 650w, https:\/\/igotoffer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/apple-helps-save-a-mangrove-forest-in-columbia-map-300x194.png 300w, https:\/\/igotoffer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/apple-helps-save-a-mangrove-forest-in-columbia-map-620x401.png 620w, https:\/\/igotoffer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/apple-helps-save-a-mangrove-forest-in-columbia-map-95x60.png 95w, https:\/\/igotoffer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/apple-helps-save-a-mangrove-forest-in-columbia-map-232x150.png 232w, https:\/\/igotoffer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/apple-helps-save-a-mangrove-forest-in-columbia-map-600x388.png 600w, https:\/\/igotoffer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/apple-helps-save-a-mangrove-forest-in-columbia-map-95x60@2x.png 190w, https:\/\/igotoffer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/apple-helps-save-a-mangrove-forest-in-columbia-map-232x150@2x.png 464w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><figcaption>The Cispat\u00e1 marine protected area in C\u00f3rdoba, Colombia includes a 27,000 acre mangrove forest divided into zones that indicate when mangrove workers can use a particular area.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Protecting, preserving, and conserving the mangrove ecosystem is a collaborative effort, and local authorities, foundations, and teams of marine biologists and environmentalists, are all on the frontlines. Conservation International, Invemar Research Institute, and the Omacha Foundation (working with local government and environmental authorities) are designing a carbon financing model to incentivize conservation and restoration of mangroves.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>In September 2018, Apple joined this mission. At the Global Climate Action Summit held in California, Lisa Jackson, Apple\u2019s VP of Environment, Policy, and Social Initiatives, stressed that mangrove forests are one of nature&#8217;s most important tools in the battle against climate change. Apple hopes that Conservation International\u2019s project will improve the method of measuring carbon stocks in the soil component of the mangroves, and will become a model for scaling carbon sequestration in global mangrove ecosystems and curbing emissions caused by deforestation in these areas. The electronic giant is pioneering this new wetland model, which will help mangroves and other coastal ecosystems store carbon.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The roots between us earthlings and the mangroves run deep. The preservation of the mangrove ecosystem is a vital key in saving our global habitat for generations to come.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2>Links<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul><li><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.apple.com\/newsroom\/2019\/04\/conserving-mangroves-a-lifeline-for-the-world\/\" target=\"_blank\">Conserving mangroves, a lifeline for the world<\/a> &#8211; Apple<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Mangrove\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">Mangrove Forests<\/a> &#8211; Wikipedia<\/li><li><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"History of Apple (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/igotoffer.com\/apple\/category\/history-of-apple\" target=\"_blank\">History of Apple<\/a> &#8211; Apple Encyclopedia<\/li><\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Mangrove Action Project &#8211; Mangrove Forest Restoration &amp; Conservation [Video] Video uploaded by Mangrove Action Project on September 6, 2013.
