Zonsezi ndizofunika kuti zonse zisungidwe. Mitengo ya mangrove imagwira ntchito ngati phokoso ndikuthandizira kuti dziko lisapitirize kufika pa nyanja. Zimakhalanso ngati malo odyetserako nsomba za m'mphepete mwa nyanjayi komanso kudyetsa komanso malo odyetsera mitundu yosiyanasiyana ya m'madzi.
Chilengedwechi chikukumana ndi zoopseza zambiri, zina, monga mvula yamkuntho, ndi zachilengedwe, ndipo zina zimayambitsidwa ndi zochitika za anthu monga kusodza nsomba komanso kuipitsa.
Mwamwayi, chitukuko cha m'mphepete mwa nyanja nthawi zambiri chimadza phindu la nkhalango za mangrove zomwe ziri zofunika kwambiri ku thanzi la mpanda. Mahotela angapo ndi malo ogulitsira malo akutsatira njirayi ndipo achita khama kuti asunge mangrove ndi malo ena onse okhalamo.

Zolinga zimapangidwa kuti zizikhala zokondweretsa zachilengedwe komanso zimalimbikitsa kupanga mapangidwe atsopano a zakutchire ndikukhazikitsanso zachilengedwe. Ntchitoyi imatchedwa Kan Kanán ndipo imatamandidwa kuti "The Guardian of the Caribbean". Pa 1.9 makilomita, ndilo mtunda wautali kwambiri padziko lonse lapansi.
