The Vital Mangroves Worth Protecting

When one thinks of Puerto Morelos, Mexico, pristine beaches, turquoise waters, and vibrant marine life often come to mind. However, hidden beneath this picturesque coastal town lies a natural wonder that is equally deserving of our attention and protection: The Mangroves.
Puerto Morelos’ mangroves are not only a captivating ecosystem to explore but also play a vital role in the environmental balance of the region.
