Nature needs a helping hand to protect Mangroves

"An EcoReef is a bundle of twisted branches and rocks bound tightly together

then stacked with others to form a Bio-Diverse Haven.”

Nature needs a helping hand to protect Mangroves for us humans

What is an EcoReef?

In its simplest form, an EcoReef is a collection of organic material such as twisted branches, as well as rocks and rubble bound together with a long-lasting binder. This combination forms a protective ‘cave’ to protect flora and fauna from inception through the juvenile stage until they can fend for themselves.

· Twisted branches and organic material lock together to form a meshed surface for living organisms to adhere to

· Rocks weight branches for stability

· Binders ensure that rocks and branches stay together long enough for nature to take over

· Single EcoReefs lock together with other reefs to form an enclave for biodiversity to thrive

Why do we need EcoReefs?

Due to our primal fears, we have cleared our sloping lands and created water ‘slides’ that have eroded all in their path taking everything to the waters’ edge and on into the deep.

We can reverse the effects of erosion, land degradation and loss of fish habitat

· by terrace farming slopes,

· promoting seepage through fissures around roots

· thereby retaining rain water underground

· strategically damming so as not to affect catchment, and

· Putting bends back in rivers to promote aquaculture
