The ecosystem  mangrove is formed by forests of salt tolerant mangrove trees in the tidal zone of tropical coasts with water temperatures above 20 °C.

How to map

Draw the outline area of the area and tag it with natural=wetland + wetland=mangrove.

If there is a body of water or other land use within the area, this has to be treated as a Relation:multipolygon like an island.

If it is an island, and you want it to tag with natural=coastline, please draw a second line and add the tags natural=wetland + wetland=mangrove.
