With eyes sharp as the coral they roam above, a nurse shark surveys its realm with a gaze that cuts through the water's murk. In the dynamic tapestry of the reef, its vigilant stare embodies the wild, focused essence of the ocean's depths.

$Underwater image of baby lemon shark swimming in mangrove forest.\n Mangroves are plants that can live in saltwater. These important plants not only create a refuge for a vast number of marine animals, birds and reptiles but also play an important role in countering coastal erosion. \n\nThe dense network of roots and branches retain sediments and create a natural barrier protecting coastal communities against the more and more frequent floodings and hurricanes. \n\nFurther, mangroves have the capacity to sequester up to 10 times more CO2 per area compared to other forest ecosystems. Therefore these habitats serve as a blue carbon sink.\n\nUnfortunately, destruction of these important habitats due to development currently happens on a large scale worldwide.$
