Planting Mangrove A man gave these photos of another man age of 65-year-old who planted hundreds of mangroves to protect his home from the big waves brought by typhoons. Typically the eastern portion of the Philippine that regularly visited by stronger typhoons.

The man just visited a nearby beach when he found the mangrove plantation of Tatay Gary the owner last October 25, 2020.

"The previous batches of mangroves were five years old, the others were only two years and one year old, not all of them were planted at the same time because the seedlings were just picked up on the shore," Tatay Garry said. Tatay Gary resides in Barangay Punong Matalom in Leyte and their home is located near the shoreline. "Father Gary said, he was encouraged to plant after typhoon Yolanda.

Yolanda is a very destructive super typhoon that visited the Philippines especially Tacloban that killed countless people. Because the wind and waves in the sea are quite strong, due to the destruction of their hut, ”he narrated.

Apart from playing an important role in the marine ecosystem, mangroves also protect coastal communities from deadly storms, tsunamis, and strong winds. "That's why he planted mangroves so that the wind did not directly hit their hut, as well as the strong waves," he added.
