The Mangrove forests of Suriname have a height of 20â25 m and are found mainly in the coastal area. There are six types of mangroves, namely two types of parwa or black mangroves, three types of red mangroves (mangro) and a small mangrove species (white mangrove, akira or tjila).
Especially in the tropical Mangrove Forests, there are often extreme weather patterns, like tsunamis or hurricanes. Mangrove Forests are very helpful at times such as these because they prevent the erosion of coastlines with their anaerobic roots supporting the sandbars.
