Growing from brackish water along our extensive coastlines, the swamps support a dynamic ecosystem that is very important to coastal communities of humans and animals. The trees shelter the coast from erosion, provide wood and support a delicate biosphere of plants, fish, birds and other wildlife. Raising public awareness is an important conservation step towards indiscriminate clearing.<\/p>\n<p>Photographed at the coast between Tanjung Sepat and Bagan Lalang, Selangor.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.tvsmith.net.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/biosphere.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4156\" title=\"Living Treasure\" src=\"http:\/\/www.tvsmith.net.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/biosphere.jpg\" alt=\"Living Treasure\" width=\"1080\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"http:\/\/tvsmith.net.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/biosphere.jpg 1080w, http:\/\/tvsmith.net.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/biosphere-113x113.jpg 113w, http:\/\/tvsmith.net.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/biosphere-169x169.jpg 169w, http:\/\/tvsmith.net.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/biosphere-450x450.jpg 450w, http:\/\/tvsmith.net.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/biosphere-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The air may be pungent at low tide but it exposes our living treasure&#8230; <a href=\"http:\/\/tvsmith.net.my\/blog\/living-treasure\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10,563,519,9],"tags":[572,1003,1004,518,943,114,511,570,697,944],"class_list":["post-4155","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-geography","category-instagram","category-omd","category-photography","tag-coast","tag-conservation","tag-ecosystem","tag-landscape","tag-mangrove","tag-olympus","tag-om-d","tag-sea","tag-selangor","tag-swamp"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/tvsmith.net.my\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4155","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/tvsmith.net.my\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/tvsmith.net.my\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/tvsmith.net.my\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/tvsmith.net.my\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4155"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"http:\/\/tvsmith.net.my\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4155\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4161,"href":"http:\/\/tvsmith.net.my\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4155\/revisions\/4161"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/tvsmith.net.my\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4155"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/tvsmith.net.my\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4155"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/tvsmith.net.my\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4155"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
