Answers
Answer:
In India mangroves are found in swamps near mouth of rivers. The major mangroves can be found in the states of Gujarat, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Odisha and West Bengal. But the most prominent and the best example is the mangrove forest/swamp of West Bengal located in the Sundarban delta. Here mangrove trees species like 'sundari' grow well. The Sundarban delta, in fact gets its name from this tree. Mangrove trees can also grow in fresh waters but there is a lot of competition among other plants so they are well adapted to saline (salt) waters.

West Bengal has 42.45% of India's mangroves, followed by Gujarat at 23.66% and A&N Islands at 12.39%. Gujarat shows maximum increase of 37 sq km in mangrove [(over 9,000 acres)]
The South 24 Parganas district of West Bengal alone accounts for 41.85% of the country's mangrove cover. South 24 Parganas is part of the Sunderban National Park, home to one of the largest mangrove forests in the world.
Diverse topography and climatic regimes, vast geographical area, long coastline and oceanic islands have endowed India with a variety of natural biomes from deserts to alpine meadows, tropical rainforests to temperate pine forests, mangroves to coral reefs and swamps to high altitude lakes.
The diversity of India's forests makes it resilient to climate change as well as an effective carbon sink.
