Mangrove ecosystems are coastal habitats found in tropical and subtropical regions, characterized by salt-tolerant trees known as mangroves. These unique trees thrive in intertidal zones, where they play a crucial role in stabilizing shorelines, reducing erosion, and providing a buffer against storm surges. In addition to their protective functions, mangroves support diverse wildlife, including fish, birds, and crustaceans. They serve as vital breeding and nursery grounds for many marine species, contributing to the overall health of marine ecosystems. Mangrove forests also help improve water quality by filtering pollutants and trapping sediments.
