Mangrove Trees of the Mekong Delta, Vietnam

Mangroves are survivors.
“They require a number of physiological adaptations to overcome the problems of anoxia, high salinity and frequent tidal inundation.
Mangroves are salt-tolerant trees, also called halophytes, and are adapted to life in harsh coastal conditions. They contain a complex salt filtration system and complex root system to cope with salt water immersion and wave action. They are adapted to the low oxygen conditions of waterlogged mud.” – Wikipedia
