Mangrove forests or Mangals to be correct are one of Earths most important ecosystems. Not only do they provide shelter, food and a living for a lot of animals (including humans) but they act as tidal barriers for our coasts. They help to protect the coasts and everything living on them. Not only do they protect our coasts but they also help keep the coral reefs clean.
So what is a Mangrove?
A mangrove is a tree that roots and grows in sandy mud and salt water. It is one of the only trees that grows in water let alone salt water.
