Mangrove is a coastal wetland ecosystem made up of trees and shrubs that can grow in salty water. These plants have special roots that grow above the water and help them survive in coastal conditions. Mangroves often grow in dense groups along shorelines. They form unique coastal landscapes.

Mangroves are found in tropical and subtropical regions around the world, including parts of Asia, Africa, and the Americas. They exist in warm climates near coastlines. Mangroves support marine life, birds, and coastal communities. They are important parts of coastal ecosystems.
