Mangrove Roots Above Water

Here’s a view of mangrove roots above the water. The roots extend far below the water’s surface, anchoring the forest to the sea and providing a tangled habitat for a variety of marine organisms. These mangroves are in Salinas, Puerto Rico. More about mangroves can be found in the the Ocean Portal Mangroves section.
