This week on Plant People, we get right to the root of our coastlines—specifically the roots of mangrove forests. 🌊🌿

Listen in as NYBG’s Dr. Brad Oberle shares what makes these oceanside forests so important, from their role in carbon sequestration to fighting coastal erosion and providing habitat for marine animals. Oberle’s worked around the world in an effort to restore these forests, and it’s to the benefit of each and every one of us that they continue to thrive.
