Mangrove
tropical coastal vegetation consisting of a shrub or tree that grows in coastal saline or brackish water / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mangroves are trees or shrubs that grow in salty water in hot places like the tropics.
Mangroves make a special saltwater woodland or shrubland habitat, called a mangrove swamp, mangrove forest, mangrove or mangal.[1] Mangroves grow on 1/3 of tropical shores.[2] They are also found in sub-tropical Africa, Asia, and the southwest Pacific.[3]
Their twisted, tangled roots collect sediment. Over time, the sediment may become islands, or extend the shoreline.
