Mangroves are very important to the ecology and vital part of lovely life in Mumbai. These acts as the sponge when the water increases during the high tides and during rain water... This the reason some of the part of Navi Mumbai (near Airoli) usually does not have water logging but as we go on destroying these mangroves we can be certain to see impact of that humans...
This is a slow poison and will cause blunders if people of Mumbai do not raise the awareness about it. In USA, they have learned a BIG lesson during Katrina Hurricanes when the 'meadows' (very similar to mangroves) that were destroyed during the urbanization; now USA government spending billions of dollars to re-develop the meadows. Learn from others experiences; raise awareness;Respect Ecology; Build infrastructure to expand into other areas but PLEASE DO NOT DESTROY the mangroves...
You can still see some mangroves near Airoli, Bhandup. So please discuss with your political/CIDCO officers and request them NOT to destroy these mangroves... If these are destroyed for profit, CIDCO may profit once but its a loss forever for this Ecology and people of Mumbaikars...
