What is Mangrove?

Mangroves are species of trees and shrubs that live in coastal or saline environments. There are over 100 different species of mangrove that can be found around the world. Mangroves are known for their intricate root systems, which trap sediment and runoff and even help to dissipate wave energy and provide shelter for nearby land. Mangrove is native to many places and is often times an integral part of local ecosystems as it provides refuge from heavy winds and rough waves for coastal plants and animals.
