Protecting Mangrove Forests
Protecting the mangrove forests requires educating the consumers in the wealthy nations that import these luxury shrimp products. Reducing the demand for pond-raised shrimp reduces the pressure on the mangroves. Stricter government laws and enforcement in protecting mangroves is also an important factor. Education at the local level as to the importance of preserving these swamps in order to maintain the coastal environment is essential.
