Mangroves are vital plants commonly associated with the swamps of the Coastal Plains, particularly in coastal regions where saltwater and freshwater mix.

These unique trees have specialized root systems that allow them to thrive in saline environments, providing essential habitat for various wildlife species, including fish, birds, and crustaceans. Mangroves play a crucial role in protecting coastlines from erosion and storm surges while improving water quality by filtering pollutants. They also contribute to carbon sequestration, helping mitigate climate change. The rich biodiversity found in mangrove swamps supports local economies through fishing and tourism, making them an invaluable component of the Coastal Plains ecosystem.
