They are essential to maintain the fresh water lense and act as filters. we aslo need to find ways to reduce alien plant introduction to the country, not to mention the number of insects and other organisms including cobras which come to our islands through the cargo from other countries. We need a proper quarantine and bio security facility to cambat these issues. I hope the new government takes necesary actions to combat these issues. We also need to carry out Mangrove restoration projects. I think Blue Peace is the kind of NGO which can take on this mission and create a nursery of Mangroves in the north and south of the country and start a restoration project. As far as I know, many mangroves in Addu are heavily exploited and in some isalnds like Meedhoo only one or 2 mangrove plats remain. well said, but we also should not undermine the role played by wet lands (chas bin) and mangrove systems in stabilising the water lense of the isalnds.
