Go slow with NZ mangrove clearances, says expert

Description

Mangroves get a bad rap and even Dr Erik Horstman admits he dislikes them sometimes.

Island estuaries and New Zealand should be conservative about clearing mangroves because they will almost
certainly help fight climate change, sea-level rise and coastal inundation.
