Mangroves have so many positive effects on the environment and on us as people but still we cut down the beautiful trees. Thankfully mother nature sees this and every week more mangrove seeds get carried by the river to the beach of Braamspunt. When trees are being cut down a beautiful mangrove forest is slowly blosseming on this beach.

This picture shows to fishermen near the beach at Braamspunt ( Suriname) who are collecting shrimps that got caught up in their nets. Braamspunt is used by a group of fishermen, as their base for fishing activities (among other things), and they have set up camps there to live.
