Mangroves as a Green Belt to Prevent from Sea Waves

As a greenbelt to prevent from sea water intrusion to the land, mangroves actually has the function to protect the land where the inhabitant lives from flooding, hard wind, and also from abration and abhation. These functions sometime are not recogniced or has appropriate attention to all of them who involve in the shrimp and fisheries business in the beach areas. Why the capital owners for shrimp or fisheries business do not have interest to pay enough attention to mangrove trees and its function? The reason obviously related to their interest to gain much profit from their own business activities. Paying to much attention or giving a high priority to the environmental concern will actually reduce their own profit opportunities. And this is not good enough for them and the benefit and welfare of their workers or laborers. If this is done severely, we can find what happen to Paojepe Beach will also happen to another places. This is very common now as we have heard a lot of report that say about beach areas destruction and environmental degradation. A hard campaign and communities as well as government supports are needed to be done in the long run in order to preserve beach areas and its inhabitants from destruction extermination. Sea waves itself are very common to cause flooding to the land if there are no mangroves on the beach. No barriers to entry the land if there are no mangroves as a greenbelt on the beach. If there are mangroves, sea waves will be blocked to enter the land and it will save the people who live there and their own properties as well.
