They also act as a form of pollution control, naturally filtering out industrial and human waste. Mangrove swamps, like other wetlands, are important components of the water cycle, absorbing excess water flow during times of flooding. Edited on 7/20/2011 12:11 AM by yumnuk3. |

People in this country are behaving as if they had another planet as a spare. Very sad. No hope. m'frog Edited on 8/9/2009 10:49 AM by mountainfrog.
