| Description |
Mangrove ecosystems support vital wetland communities of plants and animals. They are characterized by unique species of trees and shrubs that fringe the intertidal zone along sheltered coastal, estuarine and riverine areas in tropical and subtropical latitudes. Mangroves have played an important role in the economy of our coastal population for thousands of years, providing a variety of goods and services, including wood production, support for commercial and subsistence fisheries, aquaculture, salt production, and coastal erosion control. |
