Mangroves are considered Halophytes, or salt water tolerant. The mangrove is able to regulate the amount of salt that enter into their roots by transpiration. They are also able to grow a thick "cuticle", to help keep the salt out of the leaves.
I am a senior in my last semester of high school. My aquatic science class has been assigned to do a blog through out the course. So hopefully I learn a lot this semester and share it on here!
