In Mangrove Mystery Mission, coastal explorer Niru and wildlife artist Eesha team up with marine ecologist Dr. Eamon to uncover the hidden wonders of Sundara Bay’s mangroves. From paddling through red-mangrove mazes to sketching darting mudskippers, they learn how salt-filtering roots sustain nurseries for fish and shorebirds. When an oil slick endangers young saplings, the friends collect sediment samples, run hydrocarbon tests, and rally local fishermen to deploy booms and replant mangrove propagules. At night, bioluminescent algae light their path, inspiring a vibrant community mural. Young readers will discover how science, art, and teamwork protect these coastal guardians.
