Madulu Mangrove

On Madulu, the mangrove occupies low-lying ground where tidal influence is subtle but constant. The system depends on this exchange, bringing nutrients while preventing stagnation. Mangroves create shelter for small marine life, many of which later move to nearby reefs. The wetland also protects the island by reducing erosion and trapping sediment. For those familiar with the island, such places are known rather than highlighted—part of the background that supports life. Its value is steady, not visible at a glance but essential over time.
