This is the best summary I could come up with:


That's according to the first assessment from the International Union for Conservation of Nature, a leading scientific authority on the status of species and ecosystems.

"The results were quite shocking," says Marcos Valderrabano, program manager for the International Union for Conservation of Nature based in Switzerland.

Mangroves can be found along coastlines and estuaries, including in Florida and Louisiana, and have evolved to thrive in stressful conditions, getting flooded by tides and hit by waves.

Many fish spend part of their life cycle in mangroves, says Dan Friess, professor at Tulane University in New Orleans and one of more than 250 experts who contributed to the assessment.

One solution is mangrove restoration projects that work "with the communities, with the right techniques," says Fernanda Adame, a professor at Griffith University in Australia who was not involved in the assessment.

Scientists agree a key solution for mangrove longevity is to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions that drive global warming, including switching from fossil fuels to renewable energy plus large batteries.

What is geoscience?

Geoscience (also called Earth Science) is the study of Earth. Geoscience includes so much more than rocks and volcanoes, it studies the processes that form and shape Earth's surface, the natural resources we use, and how water and ecosystems are interconnected. Geoscience uses tools and techniques from other science fields as well, such as chemistry, physics, biology, and math! Read more...
