Mangroves and their species

Mangroves are categorised into three types i.e., black mangroves, red mangroves and white mangroves. Generally, mangroves develop in soil with salinity from 0 to 90 ppt and more than 110 different species of mangrove trees are estimated to exist of varying heights. For more details – Click Here

“The red mangrove is closest to the water, while the white mangrove is found the farthest from the water (near the inland). Their positions depend on land elevation, water and soil salt levels, and tidal changes."
