Mangrove

Where fresh water meets the sea.

Salt-tolerant trees standing on aerial roots in still water. Young fish grow among those roots before heading out to sea, and herons and other birds nest above them.

For your visit

Go quietly and without an engine where you can. Do not cut roots or branches: mangroves take decades to recover.
