Discover the unique adaptations of marine forests, the ecosystems that provide food and shelter for sharks and diverse coastal species.

--

Forests don’t usually come to mind as a habitat for sharks. But marine forests provide a home for 35% of the world’s sharks. Mangrove forests in particular function as an essential bridge between land and sea and have evolved various adaptations that protect them and their resident sharks. Luka Seamus Wright explores these unique and vital ecosystems.
