Definition
Tropical trees with tangled root systems that grow in salty coastal areas and are incredibly important for protecting coastlines and wildlife.
Etymology
Possibly from Portuguese 'mangue' or Spanish 'mangle,' ultimately from African sources. The plant is found in tropical regions and has been known by local names for centuries.
Kelly Says
Mangrove forests are one of Earth's superheroes—they trap more carbon than rainforests, protect coasts from tsunamis, and raise fish that feed billions of people, yet we've destroyed over 35% of them.
