<br/><br/> According to Clough (2013), Tomlinson (1986), “Mangrove forests are trees, shrubs and ferns that occupy the inter-tidal areas between land and sea of tropical and subtropical regions.” Because oftheir great capacity to trap carbon dioxide, they rank among the most productive ecosystems and contribute significantly in reducing the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Mangroves span around 1,37,760 km throughout the globe, with approximately 3.5% of the total area—4921 km—occupying India. With an area of 304 km2, the Indian state of Maharashtra provides 6.2% of the country's total mangrove cover. Mangroves cover 66 km2 along the Mumbai shoreline. – Reproduced <br/><br/>https://www.iipa.org.in/GyanKOSH/posts/nature-based-solutions-to-support-the-ecosystem-of-sewri-mangrove<br/>
