  These mangroves are very important to the ecology and these are part of the very important equation of lovely life in Mumbai. These acts as the sponge when the water increases during the high tides and rain water... This the reason airoli usually does not water logging but as we grow on destroying these mangroves. We are certain to see impact of that humans... This is a slow poison and will bring blunders if people of Mumbai do not raise the awareness about it. In USA, they have learned a BIG lesson during Katrina Hurricanes when the 'meadows' (very similar to mangroves) that were destroyed during the urbanization; now USA government spending billions of dollars to re-develop the meadows. Learn from others experiences; raise awareness;Respect Ecology; Build infrastructure to expand into other areas but PLEASE DO NOT DESTROY the mangroves... - Globezen globezen.blogspot.com
