Mangrove forests play a crucial role in the coastal wetland ecosystem's ability to block wind and waves, purify seawater and preserve biodiversity. During high tide, it's common to see the spectacle of mangroves submerged in seawater with only their canopies visible, which is why they are often referred to as "forests on the sea."
Located in Zhanjiang City, south China's Guangdong Province, the mangrove forest on Jinniu Island covers about 6,000 mu (400 hectares). The forest is rich in marine organisms such as fish, shrimp and shellfish, which attract a diverse range of rare bird species to inhabit the area.
