    Damas Mangroves

    Damas Island Mangroves

    Nature鈥檚 Coastal Sanctuary

    Coastal plants possess remarkable adaptations to thrive in harsh, windswept environments. In Costa Rica, these “Manglares” act as vital zones where tides mix fresh and salt water. These woody plants have developed unique physiological mechanisms to tolerate high salt concentrations and unstable soils, creating a fascinating “amphibious” forest.

    馃尶 High Productivity: Mangroves are fundamental for carbon fixation, producing organic matter at a rate significantly higher than most terrestrial forests, supporting both marine life and local communities.

    What to spot: Sandpipers, Plovers, Herons, Kingfishers, American Crocodiles, White-faced Capuchins, Boa Constrictors, and Silky Anteaters.
