The mangroves in Vietnam.
This mangrove was taken along the Mekong River, near the delta.
The mangrove trees are used as a resource in Vietnam.
- The wood of the trees are used as foundation structures as they are able to withstand being soaked in the muddy waters.
- The wood is also used as a building material for their homes and their boats.
- the trees are also used as walls, to hold the dykes / levees that the locals build, to prevent flooding.
- during the war, the mangroves were a place where the people supporting North Vietnam hid.
Think of other uses of the mangroves... from the leaves to its fruits...
