Mangrove trees.

me in the water
These are the roots coming back up. Don't step here.
The leaf has a membrane that protects the water from coming out. When the tree needs to shed the salt, it fills a leaf and then drops it.
Old coal making building that destroyed the eco system
...it made the water muddy, the eagles couldn't see the fish to hunt, they went to the airport and got caught in the engines of planes.
All because someone wanted to make coal.
