This is a biological community determined by the tropical coastal salt soil.

Mangroves have the functions of preventing wind and waves, promoting silting and protecting beaches, strengthening bank embankments, and purifying sea water and air. The intertwined and developed root systems can effectively retain sand coming from land and reduce sediment concentration in coastal waters; the dense and tall branches are like great green walls, effectively resisting wind and waves. The main animals in the mangrove are starfish, oysters and hermit crabs; the main waterbirds are pelicans, herons, ibis and egrets. The islanders who drove the boat picked up the oysters attached to the roots of the mangrove forest, pried open the shells with a dagger, discarded the internal organs, took out the meat, rinsed it in the sea, and then ate it. This is very surprising, but the taste is really delicious and unique.
