New Study Highlights Benefits of Mangroves in Reducing Property Damages
A recent study led by the UC Santa Cruz Center for Coastal Climate Resilience and East Carolina University found that mangroves significantly reduced storm surges and property damages during Hurricanes Irma and Ian.
Researchers used industry models to estimate the benefits of mangroves, pricing them at $725 million during Hurricane Irma and $4.1 billion during Hurricane Ian.
- Hurricane Irma: $725 million
- Hurricane Ian: $4.1 billion
The study revealed that mangroves reduce surge and flood damages to properties built behind them, while properties built in front of mangroves face increased risks.
