Abstract
Mangroves should not be used as sewage disposal sites. It is killing them mangroves grow in highly saline, coastal waters, representing a very unique ecosystem. According to an estimate, a mangrove forest supports 100 species of plants and about 500 species of animals, birds and fish. These forests also act as filters for nutrients from water; the fine soil sediments act as sinks for a variety of effluents. Thus these forests have long been used as convenient sites for sewage disposal. It was believed to be good for their growth.
