Mangroves are tropical trees and shrubs that grow in salty, wet soils along coastlines and tidal rivers. They are adapted to survive in harsh conditions, including flooding, storms, and hurricanes.

Key features

Salt tolerance: Mangroves can survive in water that's up to 100 times saltier than most other plants.

Tidal fluctuations: Mangroves are periodically submerged by tides.

Root systems: Mangroves have specialized root systems that help them survive in the intertidal zone.

Habitat: Mangroves create a rich habitat for other plants and animals.

Mangrove benefits

Coastal protection: Mangroves help prevent coastline erosion and reduce the impact of storm surges.

Sediment capture: Mangroves capture sediments flowing into the ocean from streams.

Harmful substance reduction: Mangroves lower impacts from harmful substances.

Mangrove distribution

Mangroves are found in tropical and subtropical regions.

The greatest mangrove area is within 5° of the equator.

The number of species tends to decrease with distance from the equator.

Mangrove conservation

The UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development (2021-2030) highlights mangroves as an ecosystem to inspire advances in ocean health.
