Mactan Seashore - is one of the widest and longest lowtide seashore of the entire island of Lapu-lapu, which it serves as the fishing ground of all Mactanganons, the term of people who lives in Mactan, shortly speaking Mactan residents.

Unfornately, it is really rich of edible marine life like seashells, clams, sea urchins, sea cucumbers, fish, crabs, sea grapes and seaweed.

In fact, it is such fun and enjoy going to Mactan seashore when it is lowtide, catching some hiding edible seashells and clams underneath the seagrasses and sand.

And since this seashore is opposite to the Mactan Cebu International Airport, so looking upward which you can see and hear the noise sound of arriving planes came from the airport.

However, Mactanganons were really inloves going to this seashore, in fact, I've witness some of these fishermen bringing their fishing equipment going to the deeper portion of the sea inorder to catch fish, seashells and other edible marine lifes.

While the other is busy pushing their fishing equipments in the shallow portion of the seashore, actually, fishing is one of the source of income of the people in Mactan, inwhich when they go back home with their catch fish and seashells. In fact, it is a already a viand for their family or even sold it on the market at a fair price, and can be able to buy a kilo of rice and basic needs of the family.

There are also families conducted a family bond, likes with mine, which we had our breakfast in the middle of Mactan lowtide seashore, eating together with the food that we bring while my wife and I eat our catch sea urchins. By the way a little shared knowledge, **sea urchin** is an exotic food with spikes which is usually eats in raw, and the taste is something combinations of sweet and salty.

Mactan Seashore has alot of mangrove trees, inwhich after we've finished eating, we've get chilled and relax for awhile under the shed of a mangroves because the heat of the sun is almost hot, in fact, it is really cool and it gives relaxation.

Which this mangrove tree is beautifully and naturally made artwork, which also serves as the breeding shed of fishes during high tide and a resting habitat of migratory birds during night.

In fact, one of our activity when we are on the Mactan seashore is planting a new mangrove seedlings.

And to have our sympathy towards mother nature, and by means of planting mangroves in Mactan seashore we can contribute to its rehabilitation.

![20211120_073306.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmfMxFQtinrYeEySpvWXXhJwqqD7ArXhpA7kWBVXoQyQQP/20211120_073306.jpg) | | --- _{**Mangrove Tree**}

Its because mangroves really plays an important role in the mother nature. Could you imagine if no more mangroves? Where did the seabirds rest during at night? or the breeding shed of fish.

Then what's for the next generation? The child of our child, could they smell a fresh air produces by mangroves which is the oxygen. Can they climb at mangroves tree? I don't think so, it is so sad that it would be happen for our future race which they cannot experience the beauty of our mother nature.

![20211120_064801.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmXZkB2M2RtAbB2RCmDouF5t25KyyN4gD7xrXgkWPQT3NN/20211120_064801.jpg) | | --- _{**Mangrove Tree**}

As we all know that one of the most and primary problem in our mother nature was these air pollution. And what would be the best solution for all of this problem? There are might machines that can help stop with this problem? I think this is already a lifetime problem, since birth until now this is already a never ending problem of the world we are living.

And it's because mangroves absorbs carbon dioxide. Which is this carbon dioxide is not good and useful to our body. It's because these mangroves trees, converts carbon dioxide to oxygen and this oxygen are very useful for our body. Oxygen is very helpful that's why we can breath, we need this oxygen so that we can breath.
