\"Rebuilding<\/a>One reason modern typhoons may cause more damage is mangrove destruction. When healthy, mangroves \u2014 which can form dense forests along tropical coastlines around the world \u2014 create a powerful barrier between land and sea.\u00a0Recent research has found that for each kilometre of mangrove forest that ocean waves pass through, water levels can be reduced by half a meter<\/a> (1.6 feet). Milliard Villanueva, the mayor of Concepcion, is adamant about the importance of restoring nature in order to adapt to the impacts of stronger typhoons: \u201cIt is the first line of defense, particularly on storm surge,\u201d he said.\u00a0For anyone working in tourism in coastal areas, this article is an important reminder of why mangroves and coral reefs matter so much.<\/p>\n
