Mangrove Swamps

[firemama]

Does anyone know two environmental problems that affect animals living in mangroves and ways in which they overcome these problems?

So far I have researched that one problem is erosion but I don't know how the animals in the mangroves overcome it.

I am also trying to stay away from problems that are caused by man.

I think low oxygen in the water is another one, which many acquatic animals overcome by evolving the ability to breathe air. As for erosion, not sure how they deal with that one; maybe evolve for a more marine environment?

You might want to research changes in salinity, acid production from decomposition, and high sulfur content of the soil that mangroves grow in. One of the bigger problems with Mangrove populations these days is their own depletion...mangroves are highly important in providing a protective habitat to other species living in them as well as serving as a filter to reduce pollutants.

It's really sad that there are already changes on Mangrove environments. I hope more information is spread out to educate people about this.
