Mangroves right on the beach and photographed up close in Raja Ampat, Indonesia. You can see the network of roots and how they are firmly anchored.


This photograph vividly depicts the natural coastal defense provided by mangroves when left undisturbed. The mangrove forest, firmly entrenched in the silt, acts as a natural breakwater. Lush mangrove forests serve as natural coastal protection, crucial for the ocean ecosystem. This unique habitat, influenced by the tides, acts as a sanctuary and nursery for numerous marine species. This refers to the role of mangroves as a natural defense line along the coast, preventing erosion, shielding against storm surges, and providing habitat for various species. An extraordinary travel destination, offering experiences beyond diving! Join me on my journeys to Raja Ampat in Indonesia. | Mangroven sind ein einzigartiges Biotop und so wichtig für das Ökosystem Ozean. Wir müssen sie schützen!
