Mangrove dispersal primarily occurs through the propagation of their seeds, known as propagules, which are adapted to saline environments. These propagules are often viviparous, meaning they germinate while still attached to the parent tree, then drop into the water and can float away to establish new roots in suitable habitats. Additionally, they can be transported by tidal currents, wind, and animals, allowing mangrove species to colonize new areas effectively. This dispersal method is crucial for the resilience and expansion of mangrove ecosystems along coastal regions.
