Mangroves are one of the most threatened ecosystems in the world, with more than 50% of these spaces at risk of collapse, according to an assessment by the International Union for Conservation of Nature. These threats may be broadly categorised into two forms: (i) human-driven coastal development and (ii) climate change.
