Mangroves

• The mangrove of the Rhizophora mangle species, known as red mangrove lives in direct contact with water. Its roots are underwater and there is a great variety of juvenile marine fauna that lives among the roots. Once this fauna grows, it “moves” to other environments, such as reefs or seagrass meadows. Therefore, mangroves are of key importance for the development of a variety of species. You can also see different species of algae, sponges, mollusks, and other invertebrates adhered to the roots.
