Answer: Mangroves house threatened and endangered species. They maintain local water quality and filter pollutants and trap sediments originating from land.
Explanation: Plant and animal waste will most likely build up over time, reducing the quality and safety of the environment for the other species there. The aquatic organisms that eat the detritus made by the mangrove tree crabs will either eventually die off or have to adapt to life without detritus and rely on some other food to replace it. Oxygen and nitrogen levels in soil will decrease because the mangrove tree crab does not exist anymore.
