Muraidhoo Mangrove
Status Unknown
In Muraidhoo, the mangrove exists as a small but steady ecosystem. It absorbs water, filters sediment, and supports a range of small species. These wetlands often shift slightly over time, responding to rainfall and tidal patterns. Mangroves help maintain this balance, preventing erosion and sustaining habitat. For those who know the island, such places are familiar rather than remarkable. Yet their role is critical. They hold together the edges of land and water, ensuring that both remain productive and stable.
