Mangroves provide a habitat for baby fish called nurseries. The fallen leaves and organic matter turn into a nutrient called detritus. The sediment is anaerobic which mean it has no oxygen in it. Toxins like oils spills and raw sewage can destroy mangroves. The buffer system protects buildings from winds, waves, and tides. The mangroves are an ecosystem corridor because they protect us from natural forces.
