On HAIMUSIQUE, this Saturday, on Kozman sou anvironman, we identified and analyzed the ecological importance of Salt Marshes and the way climate changes will alter their functionality. As one of the most productive ecosystems on earth, salt marshes have a rich and diversified plant and other aquatic lives ecology. They help to filter grease and pesticide related waste, along with aqueous and solid wastes prior releasing them into their adjacent waterbodies. They capture sediment through a low-high tide dynamic system and cleanup substrate to establishing functional plant communities.As a result of global warming, waterbodies (primarily oceans) will raise up and displace low and high-benchmark' s tides, reduce low and mid-tide surfaces and disturb the plant communities and the physiology of this ecotype.
Our listeners, local citizens and "Collectivité s Territoriales" elected officials were advised to educate their neighbors, fellow citizens and constituents on preventive measures to help local salt marshes sustain their ecological functionality. Some of the ways mentioned during that broadcast were:
* To avoid illegal dumping (industrial, household, universal wastes) particularly, plastic and glass-based products,
* To reinforce or strengthen the plant communities by maintaining current plots and diversifying their species,
* To encourage community services and organize waterfront cleanup projects to remove floatables from the shore, etc.
The same broadcast will be aired tomorrow at 2 PM (ET).SALT MARSHES ARE VERY IMPORTANT AND SERVED AS MORBIDITY REDUCERS FOR ADJACENT HUMAN POPULATIONS.. ..Please help us spread the words!HAIMUSIQUEMMedozile
