After we returned from Yalku, we booted into town to do a little shopping and on the way home snapped these sunset pics over the mangrove. Most of what you see along the road in and out of town is lush and green, but as you can see from these shots, there are still dead mangrove trees left over from 2005.
It is great to see so much water in the mangrove, which is the up side of a few days of rain.
The mangrove is a filtering system for the ocean and therefore protects the reef right off the shore in Puerto Morelos. The jungle, the mangrove and the reef are all connected and are so much part of this very fragile ecosystem.
