Mangroves primarily disperse their seeds through a process called vivipary, where seeds germinate while still attached to the parent tree. Once the seedlings, or propagules, are mature, they drop into the water and can float for long distances before settling in suitable environments. This adaptation allows mangroves to colonize new areas and increases their chances of survival in dynamic coastal ecosystems. Additionally, tides and water currents play a significant role in transporting these propagules to new locations.
water
The seeds drop into the water and are carried to places where they might grow. Some seeds drop into the mud immediately around the parent tree.I am not completely sure but it should be waterI am not sure but I think it is dispersed by animals when they eat them
Mangrove seedlings have adaptations such as buoyant seeds and a mechanism to disperse them away from the parent plant. The buoyant seeds are capable of floating and being carried by water currents to establish in new areas. This dispersal strategy helps prevent competition for resources and allows for colonization of new habitats.
Seeds that are dispersed by water include: coconut palm tree mango apple lotus cattail water lilies brooklime mangrove yellow flag water mint willow sea bean
it ovary break down into the roots then it disperse.

they disperse by wind as the wind flows it takes away the seeds which are connected with the petals
It disperse by splitting then wind

Mangrove tree seeds are called propagules. These distinctive structures are specialized for dispersal and germination in the challenging coastal environments where mangroves grow.
Mangrove plants disperse seeds through a process called hydrochory, where seeds are carried by water. The seeds of mangrove plants are buoyant and can float on water for extended periods. When the seeds are released from the parent plant, they are carried by tides and currents to new locations where they can germinate and grow into new mangrove trees. This dispersal method allows mangrove plants to colonize new areas and adapt to changing environmental conditions.
There are two seeds that can float that I know of. And they are: Poppy Seeds and Sunflower Seeds.
