Mangroves are woody trees or shrubs that grow in coastal habitats
Mangrove plants are found in depositional coastal environments where fine sediments, often with high organic content, collect in areas protected from high energy wave action
Mangrove plants are a diverse group which have been able to exploit a habitat (the intertidal zone) because they have developed a set of physiological adaptations to overcome the problems of anoxia, salinity and frequent tidal inundation
Each species has its own capabilities to survive
