Mangrove types in Samoa

Abstract

Mangroves are very special and unique trees.Mangroves are among the few trees that can grow in sea water as well as in places where the saltwater mixes with the fresh water from the land. Mangroves grow in places with muddy soil and a protected shoreline. They live in large groups called "mangrove forests". The mangrove forest is home to many different types of plants and trees.
