Mangroves at Bandar Khairan, Sultanate of Oman 🇴🇲 The green trees growing in the sea to the left are black mangroves (Avicenia marina’ or Qurm in Arabic). These are one of the few trees which can live in salty conditions. They prefer bays such as those at Al Khairan, as well as lagoons such as those in Qurum in Muscat. The mangrove woodland in Al Khairan is one of the largest in the area. The dense vegetation of the Mangrove forests provides nutrients and shelter for fish, crayfish and birds. About 20 of these forests are still growing along Oman’s coast. —“Take Nothing But Photos, Leave Nothing But Footprints” — Mangroves a Bandar Khairan, Sultanat d'Oman 🇴🇲 Les arbres verts poussant dans la mer à gauche sont des mangroves noires (Avicenia marina ’ou Qurm en arabe). Ce sont l'un des rares arbres qui peuvent vivre dans des conditions d’eau salines. Ils préfèrent les baies comme celles d'Al Khairan, ainsi que les lagunes comme celles de Qurum à Mascate. La forêt de mangroves d'Al Khairan est l'une des plus grandes de la région. La végétation dense des forêts de mangroves fournit des nutriments et un abri aux poissons, aux écrevisses et aux oiseaux. Une vingtaine de ces forêts poussent encore le long de la côte d’Oman. #Oman #Sea #Mountains #EarthCapture #arabian #wild #nikonmea #outdooroman #myarabia #mangroves #nature #naturelovers #outdoors #paysage #awesomeearth #wildernessculture #GoneOutdoor #beautifuldestinations #TravelNow #Globetrotter #undiscovered #travel #instapassport #instatraveling #mytravelgram #travelgram #travelingram #igtravel #voyageursdumonde #condenasttraveller
