Red Mangrove
The Red Mangrove is a type of tree found in coastal areas, particularly in tropical and subtropical regions. It is known for its distinctive prop roots that extend above the water, providing stability and support. These roots help protect shorelines from erosion and serve as a habitat for various marine species.
Red Mangroves play a crucial role in the ecosystem by filtering pollutants and improving water quality. They also provide shelter and breeding grounds for fish, crabs, and birds, making them vital for biodiversity. Their presence helps maintain the health of coastal environments, such as estuaries and wetlands.
