Mangrove ecosystems have significant ecological, environmental and socio-economic functions and values. Mangrove forests usually come into existence in sheltered shores the like of Simpson Bay Lagoon and Baie de l’Embouchure and in areas where sediment is gradually trapped forming mudbanks.
There are different species of mangroves. The Mullet Pond / Simpson Bay Lagoon mangroves are of the Red Mangrove type.
