Mangroves


A mangrove is a shrub or small evergreen tree that grows in coastal saline or brackish water. 

They live on Saltwater and take in tons of Carbon Dioxide

They save the coastline from erosion

​Sea grasses, mangroves, and salt marshes along our coast "capture and hold" carbon, acting as something called a carbon sink.

Biosequesters



Mangrove forests are biosequesters. 

Biosequestration is the process of capturing and storing carbon in living organisms such as plants and algae
