I think there would be better ways to redirect the currents and cause pools of stagnancy. Mangroves are too demanding of oxygen to go very far. . If barrier Islands were shapes differently and had jetties on the outside of the island instead of on the inside to protect the waterway walls do something?

To clarify, they arenโt planting mangroves next to the seawalls. Theyโre putting panels that were inspired by the shape of mangroves roots onto the existing seawalls. Not sure what you mean about the barrier islands though

Yeah don't worry about it I am just thinking a lot today. I appreciate your video I really worry about the oceans especially the destruction of the sea floor. I don't know if Nemo's down there or not but I'm sure that something's down there.
