With threats of sea level rise, storm surge and other natural disasters, researchers from Florida Atlantic University's College of Engineering and Computer Science are turning to nature to protect ...

Scientists have optimized a protocol to achieve a higher quantity and quality of isolated RNA from mangrove root tissues rich in secondary metabolites. The secondary metabolite content in mangrove ...

Mangrove vegetation, which grows naturally in subtropical shorelines, provides a wide range of ecosystem functions such as reducing coastal erosion, promoting biodiversity, and removing nitrogen, ...

Mangrove health statewide has slightly increased since the law was passed, but violations are going unpunished, advocates say ...

Mother Nature’s best barriers and protection for coastal communities are mangroves. They defend us against storm surge, currents, high waves and tides. Not only do mangroves serve as a natural ...

Mangroves may not be the first thing you picture when you think 'forest', but they're both incredible, unique ecosystems and serve as a kind of structural and water-quality coastguard. And while ...

Beyond their inherent value as living organisms, mangrove trees are vital when it comes to protecting healthy waters and fisheries and even human development. A 2019 study from The Nature Conservancy ...

Mangroves are known to trap plastic waste and stop it entering the sea, but this defense comes at a high cost to mangrove forests themselves, a new study shows. Researchers working in Indonesia’s ...

Zahidah Zeytoun Millie is all about roots: her Syrian roots, mangrove roots, and the roots she sets down in each country she moves to. As an artist and curator, she ties them together in her artwork ...

How mangrove roots interact with water flow is believed to be a key element in mitigating coastal erosion. Researchers are the first to quantify the optimal mangrove root hydrodynamic with a ...

With threats of sea level rise, storm surge and other natural disasters, researchers are turning to nature to protect humans from nature. Using bioinspired materials that mimic mangrove trees, they ...
