They also buffer coastal communities against sea level rise and increasingly intense and frequent storms and provide refuge for an abundance of wildlife.WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW11,000 scientists have issued a dire warning about future catastrophic events if climate change is not seriously addressed today.
