EN: mangrove forest; mangrove swamp
The OG coastal defense system. This is a forest of mangrove trees chilling by the sea, their roots all tangled up like earphones in your pocket. It's a super important ecosystem that acts as a nursery for fish and protects the land from storms, way better than any sea wall.
From 'bakaw' (a species of mangrove) + '-an' suffix, indicating a place where something abounds.
🇵🇭 Mahalaga ang pangangalaga sa mga bakawan para sa kalikasan.
🇺🇸 Protecting the mangrove forests is important for the environment.
🇵🇭 Maraming alimango at isda ang nahuhuli sa bakawan.
🇺🇸 Many crabs and fish are caught in the mangrove swamp.
