local.seafdecaqd.extractA mangrove scientist here has underscored the need to protect and preserve mangroves to fight greenhouse gas emissions as his study revealed their potentials “to store more carbon than terrestrial forest.” “Mangroves are now highlighted as a major carbon sink in relation to the greenhouse gas emission for climate change mitigation,” said Rex Sadaba of the University of Philippines-Visayas who conducted the study from May to August this year. Carbon sinks remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. “They sequester carbon dioxide and make that into their leaves, into their stem and keep it into their biomass,” he added.en
