Mangroves are coastal ecosystems found in tropical and subtropical regions.
They are composed of trees and shrubs adapted to living in saline soils flooded by seawater. These trees, such as mangroves, have aerial roots that enable them to survive in challenging conditions.
Mangroves are vital for the environment as they act as natural barriers against storms and floods, protect coastlines from erosion, and are home to a wide diversity of species, including fish, birds, and crustaceans. They are also important for fishing and tourism.
