Mangroves are those forest ecosystems whose vegetation tolerates both relatively high water salinity and flooding at regular intervals.
They are reservoirs of a large number of plant and animal species associated together over a long evolutionary time. But the species composition of plant and animals varies from place to place with tidal amplitude, nature of soil; land profile, quality of water, salinity etc. These ecosystems of tropical and sub- tropicainter-tidal regions bordering the sheltered sea coasts and estuaries, they stabilise the shoreline and act as bulwark against encroachments by the sea.
The Pichavaram Mangrove Forest near Chidambaram, South India, by the Bay of Bengal is the world's second largest mangrove forest. Mangroves are found in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Gulf of Kutch, Bhitarkanika and Godavari – Krishna deltas.
