Mangrove is a tree or shrub that grows in chiefly tropical coastal swamps that are flooded at high tide. Mangroves typically have numerous tangled roots above ground and form dense thickets. It becomes the guardian of beach and environment of an animal like fish, crab, shrimp, snake, bird, plant, or other organism. Active efforts to save mangroves are very important to save beach from abration and to protect the habitat of animal and plant. Start now to plant mangrove and keep them alive.
