Oh man, how good are mangroves?

Sunday, 27 April 2025 - 11:30am to 12:00pm

 

 

On today's show we're getting knee deep in the salty sediment of mangroves with Sabrina Olsson, Research officer for the Regenerating our Coasts program.

We talk about the multifaceted charms of mangroves, from crustaceans to carbon sequestration, and some of the threats and pressures on these ecosystems. 

We also hear what it's like to do mangrove restoration (muddy!) and some of the fandangled new contraptions being trialled to help Victorian mangroves to recover, funded by Beach Energy Ltd in partnership with RMIT and Deakin University
