Katunggan Boardwalk — Attraction in Santa Catalina

Mangroves are trees or shrubs that grow in coastal saline or brackish water. Mangroves protect water quality by removing nutrients and pollutants from stormwater runoff before they reach seagrass habitats and coral reefs thus providing habitat for many commercial fish and shelter to a range of wildlife species.

Here in Santa Catalina, this Katunggan Boardwalk and Mangrove Sanctuary is not only a tourist attraction but also a manifestation that protecting Mother Earth will always be an honorable act of a living human being.
