Mangroves at the Waterline
From salt tolerance to nursery habitats, mangroves transform the boundary between land and sea.
Mangroves occupy dynamic coastal environments where salinity, inundation and sediment conditions shape species distributions. Their ecosystems can support fisheries habitat, shoreline processes and carbon cycling.
Restoration outcomes depend on hydrology, species selection and local conditions; planting alone is not proof of ecosystem recovery.
