"KATUNGGAN" is Cebuano for mangrove. Often taken for granted by casual observers, mangroves provide a habitat for animals and plants of various species. Their rotten leaves and decaying roots serve as food for fishes, shellfishes, planktons, and algae. Simply, mangroves play an important role in the balance of life in tropical ecosystems all over the world.
