Rising storm surges pose a global threat aggravated by climate change. To address this, leveraging nature's defenses is crucial. Mangrove trees, strategically planted along flood-prone coasts, act as a primary barrier, reducing storm surge energy before reaching inland structures. Despite vulnerability to high-category hurricanes, mangroves excel in safeguarding against common storms. Beyond storm protection, they foster biodiversity, sequester carbon dioxide, and offer a sustainable energy source. Real-world observations attest to the effectiveness of mangroves in combatting climate-induced flooding.
