    After participating in a community outreach program to plant mangroves, the individual was tired from walking in the muddy conditions but felt it was important to complete the task. Mangroves provide many ecosystem services such as providing timber, fuel, and protecting coastal areas from storms and flooding. Planting mangroves was challenging due to the muddy and knee-deep water conditions. Mangroves help reduce erosion, absorb storm impacts, and provide habitat while also benefiting communities through fisheries, ecotourism, and food.

    COMMUNITY EXTENSION - OUTREACH PROGRAM

    1. After the activity, I was a little tired because I walked in the mud because you will really sink when you
    walk in the mud up to your feet , the mud will be walk on before I can plant mangroves. I invited my
    partner to take a picture of me because I can't do it alone. I felt a little tired because the sun was so hot,
    that’s why we are quickly went home and took shelter in the house because the sun was already hurting
    my skin.

    2. Mangroves provide a range of ecosystem services. These largely include the provision of
    timber, fuel wood, medicines, natural dyes, honey, and marine food. They also help in
    regulating floods, erosion and saltwater intrusion and protect coastal communities against the
    harsh impacts of storms and tsunamis. Further there are several aesthetic and cultural services
    that mangroves provide, including those related to tourism, education, and local indigenous
    knowledge and traditions. Mangroves are confined largely to the tropics and sub-tropics.
    Among the continents, Asia has the most extensive mangrove forest cover, but with the most
    serious deforestation rates (Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations). The tree
    planting was very challenging because of the mangrove setting. The location was extremely
    muddy and the water level is knee-deep. Most of us had a difficult time walking towards the
    planting area Planting mangroves can reduce shoreline erosion and can protect coastal
    communities against coastal flooding, high winds and waves, and tsunamis. Mangroves provide
    natural infrastructure and protection to nearby populated areas by preventing erosion and
    absorbing storm surge impacts during extreme weather events such as hurricanes. They are
    also important to the ecosystem too. Their dense roots help bind and build soils. Mangroves are
    important to people because they help stabilize Florida's coastline ecosystem and prevent
    erosion. Mangroves provide natural infrastructure and protection to nearby populated areas by
    preventing erosion and absorbing storm surge impacts during extreme weather events such as
    hurricanes. Mangroves are also key part of the climate resilience toolkit, acting as natural
    barriers to protect shorelines from erosion. They can reduce wave height by up to 66%, which is
    becoming increasingly important as the frequency of severe storms has risen by 40%.
    Mangroves act as a natural carbon sink and a buffer between land and sea, protecting
    shorelines by preventing coastal erosion and providing storm surge protection. Alongside these
    benefits, mangroves contribute to restore and protect the biodiversity of marine and coastal
    ecosystems by providing feeding, breeding, as well as safe nursing grounds, habitats, nesting,
    and migratory sites for many aquatic species, birds, and other faunal species. Further,
    neighboring communities can also benefit from a plethora of mangrove ecosystem products
    and services. Some livelihoods and businesses such as fisheries and ecotourism in coastal areas
    depend on mangrove forests, and mangrove fruit-based products can serve as a supplementary
    food source.
