Neither have I, i live in England bro where am i going to get tropical trees from

#BUT #Some mangroves remove salt from brackish estuarine waters through ultra-filtration in their roots. Other species have special glands on the #a process that leaves visible salt crystals on the upper surface of the leaves.#Kind of like how marine iguanas sneeze out salt they put it on their leaves #A mangroves are great for a variety if ecosystems like mudfkats and shallow water that are used as nurseries for many creatures #like the lemon shark and mud skippers #And because of the thickness that mangrove roots grew they can actually help stop or slow down tidal waves and tsunamis #BIOLOGY
