Learning Intention: we are learning about ecology.
Success Criteria: I know I am successful when I can write about the effect of mangroves to living things, people and environment.

Mangroves prevent waves from washing away the shore when the sea is rough. It help to stop poisons from the land entering the sea.


It is a breeding place for fish,shellfish,
crabs and birds. The wood of the mangrove can be made into a walking stick.

The lichen that hangs from the mangroves can be boiled to make green dye.
