The major vegetation in this area has adapted to absorb its water from the sea‚ and its oxygen from the air as opposed to the soil. This environment serves as home to many animal species

Mangroves are trees and shrubs that grow in saline coastal habitats in the tropics and subtropics – mainly between latitudes 25° N and 25° S. The saline conditions tolerated by various species range from brackish water‚ through pure seawater (30 to 40 ppt)‚ to water of over twice the salinity of ocean seawater‚ where the salt has become concentrated by evaporation (up to 90 ppt).[1][2] The many species of trees and shrubs adapted to saline conditions are not all closely related‚ and the term "mangrove"
