mangroves look like trees

Mangrove swamps are characterized by plants like red mangroves, black mangroves, and white mangroves. These plants have adaptations to thrive in salty water, such as aerial roots for oxygen exchange and salt filtration mechanisms. They provide important habitats for various species of fish, birds, and invertebrates.
The most widespread vegetation within estuaries are mangroves. Some examples of the mangroves that thrive in estuarine habitats are red mangroves, black mangroves, white mangroves, and salt marsh.
Let them dry out like the MBRC is doing!
Because they think their boring?
Mangroves are not dogs. Mangroves are tropical trees that grow in brackish water.
So Mangroves grow in salty water. There are two main types of Mangroves; red mangroves and white mangroves. They look really weird, because they have to deal with all the challenges of living in salty water.Don't be confused though, by the "White Mangrove Family" of plants (Combretaceae). Many of those are mangrove plants, but most of the species are "normal" trees.
Their roots breathe the air like other mangroves
mangrove are only from Australia. that's why the call it mangroves
Mangroves are classified into three main types based on their location within the intertidal zone: fringe mangroves grow along the shoreline, basin mangroves are located further inland in estuaries, and riverine mangroves inhabit riverbanks. Additionally, mangroves can be categorized by their characteristic species composition, such as red, black, and white mangroves, in different regions around the world.
The Bahamas is home to several types of mangroves, primarily including red mangroves (Rhizophora mangle), black mangroves (Avicennia germinans), and white mangroves (Laguncularia racemosa). Red mangroves are typically found closest to the water's edge, characterized by their prop roots, while black mangroves are located further inland, recognized by their pneumatophores. White mangroves usually thrive in the upper intertidal zones and have a more subtle appearance. These mangroves play a crucial role in coastal protection, habitat provision, and water filtration.
