Mangrove at Boca Chica
This is mangrove at Boca Chica, doing what it does best . . . collecting sand and creating land mass. The mangrove is a highly protected environment in Panama and home to a world of animal and plant life. There are fines for disturbing or destroying mangrove, but the big developers creating multi-million dollar beach resorts just treat the fines as development costs.
