Mangrove Forests Mitigate Tsunami Hazard and Require Conservation
This paper emphasizes mangroves” capacity for tsunami mitigation, analyzes determinants of this function, offers plantation suggestions to city planners, and underlines the necessity of mangrove conservation.Research is based on existing books, journals, articles, and other online materials.Studies conducted by different scholars are compared,analyzed, and synthesized.In coastal mangrove plantation design, planners should take various factors into account,including forest width, forest density, tree species, forest floor slope, and characteristics and frequencies of incident waves.Conclusions from previous studies are worth relying on, while modifications based on specific geographical and climatic elements are also required.Mangroves are ideal coastal vegetation even in cities without tsunami threats.They offer a wide range of ecological services, but are currently dying out rapidly, due to artificial and natural reasons.It is urgent and necessary for governments, experts, and civilians to conserve mangrove forests.
