Mangrove Walk
October 16, 2022 @ 3:00 am – 5:30 am
Save as PDFMangrove Walk at Bhandup Pumping Station
Mangroves are intertidal plants found along parts of both the east and west coasts of Mumbai. By arresting wind and tidal force they provide a sort of a ‘sheltered Harbour’ for aquatic, avian, and other biodiversity and also act as a buffer between land and sea. Join BNHS this season for a Mangrove Walk to study these fascinating plants. During the trail one could spot White Mangrove (Avicennia), Milky Mangrove (Excoecaria), Loop-Root Mangrove (Rhizophora). Besides the true mangrove species the area is home to associate plants like Meswak Nipa Palm, and Portia tree.
