Filladhoo Mangrove
UnknownMangrove/Wetland
In Filladhoo, the mangrove is shaped by the island’s natural depressions and seasonal rainfall. It acts as a filter, improving water quality before it reaches the lagoon. The trees themselves are adapted to stress—salt, flooding, and limited oxygen in the soil. This makes the mangrove both resilient and sensitive. Disturbance can easily alter its balance. For the island, it remains a protective space, reducing coastal change and supporting biodiversity. Its importance lies not in scale, but in the role it quietly performs.
