About this site
Mangrove Ridge is a spot on Gam Island where mangrove roots intertwine with living coral reef. It is a rare snorkelling ecosystem, and the clear water lets swimmers watch juvenile reef fish sheltering among the roots.
Coral bommies grow just metres away from the mangroves, so the site works as a transition zone between forest and reef. The shallow setting suits unhurried time at the surface, looking down at the roots and the young fish living among them.
