The Vital Role of Mangroves in Curaçao
Mangroves are crucial to the health of Curaçao’s coastal ecosystems. They act as nurseries for young marine life, offering safe spaces for fish and other species to grow. These unique forests also protect shorelines from erosion and absorb carbon dioxide, helping combat climate change. The Curaçao Rif Mangrove Park, managed by CARMABI, is dedicated to preserving these vital habitats while educating the public about their importance. Healthy mangroves support both marine biodiversity and local tourism.
