Naridhoo Mangrove

Naridhoo’s mangrove reflects the quiet function of wetlands in small islands. Water collects, slows, and settles here, allowing organic material to build over years. Mangrove roots hold this ground together, creating stability in an otherwise shifting environment. These areas often support bird activity and serve as breeding spaces for small aquatic species. While not always central to daily use, they remain part of the island’s ecological memory. Their presence shows how land and water continue to meet in ways that sustain both.
