Description Mangroves are salt-tolerant forest ecosystems found mainly in tropical
and sub-tropical inter-tidal regions of the world. They are associations of
halophytic trees, shrubs or other plants that have the common trait of
growing in shallow and muddy salt water or brackish waters, especially
along quiet shorelines and in estuaries. Typically they produce tangled
masses of arching roots that are exposed during low tides. Mangroves
do not appear on sandy beaches and rocky shores.
