Dr. @gilanius thank you for your seller work by bringing the #Balochistan #mangroves within mapping. Their declaration as #ProtectedForests is also an acknowledgement of the miracle that late #BabaeMangroves Tahir Qureshi wrought in places where they never existed.
It would now be in the fitness of things if #mianiHor & Shadikaur in Gwadar should be dedicated to him. How about it @BalochistanFor1 If not now then when! Isn't it great to see this @rahimgwd @RafiulH87658231 finally? Something to toot the horn about! @sherryrehman @aminattock

Today on #WorldMangroveDay, we're appreciating these salt-tolerant trees that live where the ocean meets the coast. 🌊🌳 Mangroves provide essential habitat for thousands of species. They also stabilize shorelines, and play an essential role as carbon sinks. 📷@octavioaburto
Researchers @octavioaburto, @MangroveMatt, @_hsumar, and others at Scripps have studied #mangroves in places like Mexico and the Galápagos Islands. They've been sampling mangrove sediments to understand understand carbon storage in these coastal ecosystems. #WorldMangroveDay
In this video by @NatGeoEducation, Scripps marine biologist Astrid Hsu (@_hsumar) describes how she and other researchers use remote sensing, including satellites and drones, to study mangroves and inform conservation efforts: #WorldMangroveDay
Today is #WorldMangrovesDay. So let me remind you. #Mangroves;
- acts as buffer & reduce impact of cyclones & #storm surge.
- they break the #wind force
- provide #habitat to #animals during cyclone or otherwise
- they reduce #pollution.
We just need to protect them.

So how it works. Mangroves create a maze & dense habitat. With species which are salt tolerant & special adaptations. They act like buffer & consume the winds & energy. So after passing the storms get dampen. You must have read in ‘Theory of Vibration’.
They are prop roots. In #mangrove #ecosystem they are adventitious support roots. They Grow down from lateral branches, in a way support trees, with doing other root functions. Additionally roots buffer against damage to coasts & enhance biodiversity & carbon sequestration.

We are facing one more #cyclone today. So let me remind you. #Mangroves;
