And just now we talked
0:01
about mangrove forests and
0:03
coral reefs. Could Dr. Vu
0:06
Ngoc Long please analyze in more detail the
0:08
relationship between mangrove forests and different
0:11
types of coral reefs and how they interact with each other?
0:13
Yes. We see that its coral
0:17
is a type of symbiotic organism,
0:19
and they live together in a
0:23
symbiotic relationship. It seems to be an interconnected system,
0:25
and when they and their companions may also have
0:27
hard structures, they form
0:29
cavities within. So why do
0:31
fish live off coral? Because
0:33
it's in coral, it has a type of breath that it also produces.
0:36
It has tentacles. Thanks to those tentacles,
0:40
it cleaned the fish. Oh, really?
0:42
And at the same time, it creates an environment
0:44
where the fish can find food.
0:46
But when the fish goes in there, when
0:48
the fish lives with the coral,
0:51
it provides what is called
0:53
air exchange in
0:56
that cavity. That means there
0:58
is a symbiotic relationship between fish and coral.
0:59
They are symbiotic with each other.

So, how can coral support
1:02
mangrove forests, or conversely, how can
1:04
mangrove forests support
1:05
coral by acting as a
1:09
wave barrier, reducing the absorption of
1:11
wave energy from the outside, thereby
1:13
reducing the pressure of waves
1:15
on the forest and
1:18
protecting the mangrove canopy. Yes.
1:20
That's thanks to that coral. Without the coral
1:23
reefs on the outside, the pressure from the
1:24
waves hitting the inside would
1:27
likely destroy many of the
1:29
mangrove forests, including the
1:31
seagrass beds. D
