What We Can't Sea
A crucial aspect of both marshes and mangroves is that neither is a completely consistent region. This episode reveals different forms that marshes and mangroves can take, and how they support a wide variety of wildlife.
The plants that line our coasts are, above all, survivors. The grasses and trees that make up salt marshes, mangrove forests, and other ecosystems experience constantly changing conditions and bear the brunt of brutal storms. Nevertheless, they are well-suited to the task. Salt marsh grasses form elaborate root networks that trap sediment and reduces water flow. Mangrove roots act similarly, protecting and stabilizing the shoreline.
