Why Mangroves Matter

Our tour will take you through the red mangrove forest, which plays a vital role in protecting coastlines, providing a habitat for countless species, and filtering the water around us. The red mangroves are easily recognizable by their distinctive prop roots, which grow out of the water, offering a safe haven for marine life like fish, crabs, and birds.
