Mangroves in Panaji: Goa’s Green Guardians Along the Mandovi River

Panaji, the capital city of Goa, is more than just a tourist hub with golden beaches and vibrant nightlife.

Nestled along the banks of the Mandovi River, Panaji boasts thriving mangrove ecosystems that quietly work to protect the environment, support biodiversity, and sustain local livelihoods.

These mangroves, often referred to as “green guardians,” play a vital role in combating climate change, preserving biodiversity, and protecting Goa’s coastline from natural disasters.
