Mangroves and coral reefs have a symbiotic relationship. The mangroves help trap the pollutants in the water, providing a clean environment, nutritious water and oxygen for the corals. In turn, coral reefs help stabilize the shoreline and protect the mangroves from powerful storms and typhoons. A vast ocean surrounds the single mangrove tree that symbolizes the hope of survival for the coral reefs. The conservationists around the tree of hope are planting mangroves near the reefs to prevent them from bleaching. Mangroves and coral reefs are a perfect example of ridge to reef environmental care, just like humans and other life forms on Earth, we can not survive without each other.
