This seems to indicate therefore that a global sea level is highly likely. Guyana's coast is already in a very vulnerable position lying below sea level in many areas and would be severely impacted on in the event of a raise in sea level.
Mangroves can act as a barrier to neutralize or buffer wave action.
Therefore they can play an important role in protection of the sea wall or embankment and reduction of damage to the sea defense system. The importance of mangroves should therefore be realized and appreciated and efforts should be made to curtail their unscrupulous removal. The importance of the environment should be recognised and we should contribute to proper coastal zone management.
