Statement 1 is correct: Mangroves are a unique type of coastal ecosystem found in tropical and subtropical regions mainly between 30° N and 30° S latitudes, with the greatest mangrove area straddling the equator. They are dense forests of salt-tolerant trees and shrubs that thrive in intertidal zones, where land meets the sea. Statement 2 is incorrect: Mangroves exhibit viviparity mode of reproduction, where seeds germinate within the tree before falling to the ground. This is an adaptive mechanism to overcome the challenge of germination in saline water. Statement 3 is incorrect: According to the Indian State Forest Report 2021, Mangrove cover in India is 4992 sq. km which is 0.15% of the country’s total geographical area. West Bengal (Sundarbans) has the highest share of India’s mangroves with over 42% as of 2021 followed by Gujarat and Andaman & Nicobar Islands.
