MANGROVE
Mangrove forests thrive near the mouths of large rivers where river deltas provide lots of sediment (sand and mud). Mangrove roots collect sediments and slow the water's flow, helping to protect the coastline and preventing erosion. Over time, the roots can collect enough debris and mud to extend the edge of the coastline further out.
Mangrove forests are teeming with life. Shorebirds, crab-eating monkeys, and fishing cats all make the mangrove home. Mangroves provide a safe haven and a nursery for a variety of fish, birds, crustaceans, and shellfish.

Of the seven types of mangroves, three are most dominant, the RED, BLACK and WHITE types. and trap oxygen for its oxygen-starved root systems. These bristles are known as pneumatophores. The Black Mangrove is tolerant of high saline conditions and the trees grow in isolated groups or woodland formations.
