How strange they look ... Actually, why?
Mangrove forests are flooded with tidal water 10-15 times a month and therefore are flooded about 40% of the total time
That is why they have such a complex root system that allows them to filter salt, breathe during high tides and hold on to soft tidal sediments
About 70 species of plants are found in the mangrove forest
from 12 families
Among them are palm, hibiscus, holly, plumbago, acanthus, myrtle and representatives of legumes
Their height is different: you can meet both low creeping shrubs and timber trees, reaching a height of sixty meters

are collecting mangrove soil samples to be analyzed for carbon stored in sediment below the waterline, known as «blue carbon». Together with
Omacha Foundation
the three organizations are designing a carbon financing model to incentivize conservation and restoration of mangroves in the region, working in partnership with the local government environment authority (CVS) and the local communities.
