Reflection Paper

What is mangroves? Most trees cannot live on tide-drenched seashores because their roots cannot get air from the wet soil. The mangrove, however, does so easily because its vinelike roots take in air through their pores. These roots drop from both the trees trunk and branches into the surrounding mud, where they establish supporting stilts and new trunks in a dense tangled mass. For this reason the mangrove is one of the most useful members of the plant kingdom-it protects shorelines from erosion by waves and other forces and helps build new land. It also serve sa breeding area of little marine life and also it provide them habitat.

Last Sept. 23, 2012 we conducted our integration program for our R.E entitled bagging of propagules at Zone 6 Brgy Bula. It was fun,but the weather didnt get along with us because that day it was raining, but still we conduct our integration, perhaps the weather cant stop us from doing a little kindness for our nature, its better doing something even if it contributes a little than to doing nothing. At first the integration plan is to plant mangroves near the shore but when the date for integration is near coming our teacher change the planting of mangroves into bagging porpagules because the said date for our integration is not at lowtide at that time. With the help of the care taker of the mangroves he instructed us what is the proper way of bagging the propagules.

That day Ive learned so many things about mangroves, of how important are they in our seas and shores, they are a great help in preventing a great impact of tsunami or big waves, trying to reflect, I realize what if there is no mangrove maybe many cities are now under the sea, mangroves are providing us also oxygen, and mangroves can be a source of income you can make many things out of mangroves, even though with a little help just like planting mangroves, it has a great contribution to our world, maybe its time for us to try preserving our nature, were the one responsible of the bad happenings in our society, bwing resposible not that hard if care of your life, care for our nature.
