The coco palm is a vital part of the tropical coastal ecology. It’s extensive root system establishes quickly, helps to mitigate beach erosion, provides shade, habitat, building materials, and is an excellent high quality food source. There are so many uses of the coconut palm, that were essential to indigenous tropical seafaring cultures, such as the Polynesians, who brought us the wonderful sport of surfing the ocean waves. #pavones #coconutpalms #plantrees #plantcoconuts #coconut #costarica #beach #ecology #tropicalplants #beachecology #puntabanco 📷 @alexthompson_photo (at Punta Banco, Costa Rica) https://www.instagram.com/p/B95LlnmnVdG/?igshid=zxc9h34msyd2
