local.seafdecaqd.extractIf your idea of a perfect vacation spot is a stretch of powder-white sand beach, with a few coconut trees swaying in a breeze, think again. This postcard-pretty coastal area, our idea of a romantic tropical paradise, is a "vulnerable" palm beach because it is stripped of its mangroves, other beach trees, and vegetation that protect it from storm surges and deadly tsunami. A greenbelt of mangroves and beach trees could mitigate the impact of the 15-meter waves, said Jurgenne Honculada Primavera, an expert on mangroves at the Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center (SEAFDEC) in Tigbauan town, Iloilo.en
