How mangroves attract us?

Their unique appearance, adaptations, their uses to us, among other interesting features, attract us:

They could live well in saltwater (0.5–35 ppt).

Their thick-leaves, thick-petalled colourful flowers and healthy-happy-looking trees and shrubs captivate our minds.

Peculiar roots, extensive and complex, totally different from the roots of the other plants.

We feel ‘quiet and peaceful’ as soon as we enter into any mangrove forest.

Chirping of the birds and the soft sounds produced by the small creatures, which live below the water level, add to the beauty of the mangroves.

Dense, nutrient-rich, greenish colour water in the mangrove forest is also very much responsible for the coolness we enjoy in the mangroves.
