A lot of the mangrove trees in coastal Bangladesh can be used to make candy, molassess, and other treats. With a little bit of training and support, the locals in the area can produce these items and sell them for an income. This also helps farmers to realize the value of mangroves and protecting them rather than clearing the trees. The even bigger payoff comes during storms and cyclones, when the mangroves create a buffer between the ocean winds and farmlands.
