But in Gabon, the rich mangrove forest north of Libreville has been ripped apart for development over the past few years.
The mangrove not only provide important habitat for a variety of wildlife and supply nutrients and sediments for seagrass-bed and coral-reef habitats, but they also pull massive amounts of greenhouse gases from the atmosphere, up to four times as much carbon as other tropical forests, according to a study.
Livlihoods at stake
But the trees also provide livelihoods for many in the region.
One family who sells crabmeat told Africanews: "We do sustainable fishing and the destruction of the mangrove would be a shortfall because crabs are becoming increasingly scarce.
