Mangroves are shrubs or small trees that grow in coastal saline or brackish water. The term is also used for tropical coastal vegetation consisting of such species.
Compared to other plants, mangroves differ visually especially by their famous and typical aerial roots and biologically through the ability to grow in saline areas. Aerial roots are roots with ability to perform primary gas exchange in oxygen-poor soils.
The United Nations Environment Program& Hamilton (2013), estimate that shrimp farming causes approximately a quarter of the destruction of mangrove forests
