“...The loss of mangroves can reduce or even decimate important fish and bird habitats, resulting in economic losses to communities that rely on mangroves for both subsistence and income livelihood.” This was emphasised by the Minister for Agriculture, Waterways and Environment, Dr Mahendra Reddy while launching the Ministry of Environment’s Conservation and Management of Fiji’s Mangrove Ecosystems Policy in commemoration of the International Day for the Conservation of the Mangrove Ecosystem 2021 yesterday.
