Mangroves

These coastal ecosystems occur in tropical and subtropical regions, boasting trees and shrubs that thrive in saltwater environments. Mangrove forests, like those in the Sundarbans or Everglades, are vital for coastal protection, acting as buffers against storms, cyclones, and tsunamis. They host many species, from fish and crustaceans to birds and primates, offering critical breeding grounds and nurseries for many marine species.
