What Are Mangroves? | Bahia Principe
Mangroves are unique coastal ecosystems composed of a variety of trees and shrubs known as mangrove trees, which are adapted to both saltwater and freshwater conditions. These stunning natural landscapes are found in tropical and subtropical regions around the world, where they play a vital role in coastal protection, biodiversity preservation, and the support of local communities. In addition to their ecological importance, mangroves are a refuge of tranquility and beauty, perfect for those seeking to connect with nature in its purest form.
Areas Where Mangroves Can Be Found
Mangroves can be found in various regions around the world, from the coasts of Africa and Asia to Latin America. In each of these areas, mangroves form a crucial habitat for numerous species of fauna and flora, while also serving as natural barriers against erosion and hurricanes. In Latin America, particularly in Mexico, mangroves are a natural spectacle that you must not miss.
