Long Branch Short:

(1)    Trees reduce runoff, which prevents excessive pollutants and sediments from reaching coastal waters, preserving the ocean's marine life.

(2)    Enhanced soil absorption via tree roots prevents stormwater surges and sewage overflow, reducing the volume of contaminated water entering the ocean.

(3)    Trees help maintain a balanced freshwater supply in coastal regions, crucial for sustaining ocean ecosystems.

(4)    Trees reduce air pollution, prevent soil erosion, and cool urban stream water indirectly contributes to maintainin
