Coastline is changing. Mangroves along the coast are facing severe land use change due to unplanned city expansion, diminishing the ecosystem services these provide to society such as extreme tides control. Cartagena city, as many others located by the sea, is seriously threated by sea level rise and increase of extreme events frequency, and mangroves are natural barriers which reduce the impact of these phenomena. Unfortunately unplanned urban soil expansion is taking over this ecosystems, increasing the exposure of society to sea level change risks and demanding in the future expensive grey infrastructure based solutions for a problem which nature can help us to solve for free.

Protected by the UNESCO World Heritage project, Mount Athos, with its 20 Eastern Orthodox monasteries, and numerous sketae (cloister,) cells and hermitages is one of the most extraordinary places on the earth. It is known as "land of the monks". The water of the Aegean Sea is not only a border or wall between Greece and Mount Athos, but way of living for the monks. The water here is full of great energy, deep secrets and splendid beauty. Because of that blessed water, the monks here were able to find food and survive dozens of centuries . One of my the most unforgettable memories.The picture has been taken on the fairy from Greece to Athos Mount (by the fairy - thats the only possible way to visit Mount Athos) 07:00 AM on sunrise! Beautiful and unforgottable.

Traditional fisherman launches his "atarraya" looking for the catch of the day early in the morning. In the past, before the coastal wetland was degraded with polluted waters from the surrounding city of Cartagena and it's communicating channels with the sea closed due to unplanned city expansion, fish production was remarkable, supporting the native people from fishers town La Boquilla to live from fish commercialization only. Nowadays this natural resource is so scarce that fishing in most cases is a unwanted job, only practiced by elders.

Refuge.In Malaysia, the major source of protein is derived from fish which is usually caught locally by artisanal fishers. To protect their boats from the typhoons, fishermen seek refuge in the mangroves which cover most of the Southern coast. The mangroves break strong waves and is also a breeding ground for many pelagic fish.
