Mangroves are amongst the most biologically important ecosystems on the planet. They act as critical habitats for fish stocks and are important carbon stores.

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Mangroves are amongst the most biologically important ecosystems on the planet. They act as critical habitats for fish stocks and are important carbon stores. As salt-tolerant trees, they are adapted to life in difficult coastal conditions and play a crucial role during storms and floods as they protect coastal communities and natural habitats from severe impacts. Despite their resistance to extreme conditions, mangrove ecosystems are at risk of up completely submerging below the seas in a matter of few decades due to forecasted rising sea levels brought about by climate change. This image acquired by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-2 Satellites on the March 2020. It shows Sundarbans National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1997, is the largest mangrove ecosystem in the world. Copernicus Sentinel missions are suitable for mapping and monitoring the extent of mangroves in different ecosystems and for determining their richness in species
