About the habitat: Mangroves
Mangroves are coastal habitats dominated by salt-tolerant trees and shrubs that grow in shallow, brackish waters along tropical and subtropical shorelines. These ecosystems are shaped by tides and fluctuating salinity, creating unique conditions where few plant species can survive.Mangrove habitats support a wide range of wildlife, including fish, crustaceans, birds, and reptiles. They act as important nurseries for marine species, protect coastlines from erosion, and play a vital role in carbon storage and coastal resilience.
