Fig. 4: Mean ecosystem services provided by mangroves in different protected areas.
From: Priority areas to protect mangroves and maximise ecosystem services
Existing IUCN I-IV protected areas system (blue), other existing protected areas (red), and proposed expansion to 30% for protection for biodiversity alone (orange) and for biodiversity and ecosystem services (yellow). Ecosystem services were: (a) properties and (b) population safeguarded from flooding, (c) carbon stored and (d) fishing intensity supported by mangroves.
