Huge Benefits to Protecting Both Mangrove Forests and Coral Reefs
- "There is nothing subtle about these numbers," said Dr. Peter Mumby, a researcher from the University of Exeter in England and the study's lead author. "This research shows a direct link between mangroves and the number of fish on coral reefs including several species of snapper that are heavily fished. Protecting mangroves in association with reefs will provide a much bigger return on investment than only protecting reefs in isolation." - excerpt referring to a recent study whose results are to be published in the journal Nature.
