Mangrove Nature Reserve. Mangroves refer to salt-tolerant plants that grow at the intersection of the sea and rivers. Mangroves refer to salt-tolerant plants that grow at the intersection of the sea and rivers. Currently, there are only four types of mangroves remaining in Taiwan: Aegiceras (Kandelia obovata), Black Mangrove (Avicennia marina), White Mangrove (Excoecaria agallocha), and Rhizophora mucronata. From the northern coast of Tainan City at the mouth of the Bazhang River to the mouth of the Zengwen River in the south, the coastal areas have smaller waves, abundant sandbars, lagoons, and estuarine swamps. Silt accumulates in the estuaries and along the coast, creating a favorable environment for mangroves to settle and thrive. They are distributed in Beimen District, growing in the shallow swampy mudflats at the mouth of the Jishui River, with species including White Mangrove and Aegiceras; in Jiangjun District, growing at the mouth of the Jiangjun River, with species including Aegiceras and White Mangrove; and in Cigu District, growing along the banks of the internal ditches of fish farms in Hailiao Port and Haipu, in the silty mudflats at the mouth of the Zengwen River, with scattered areas of White Mangrove and Black Mangrove covering five hectares. Mangrove ecosystems contain abundant minerals and organic matter, making them a paradise for mudskippers and fiddler crabs. The city government will continue to replant mangroves annually through artificial restoration, aiming to create the most natural ecological environment for the coastal areas of the southern city with these national treasure mangrove forests.
