Matthew Tucker, BBC News In Pictures (October 22, 2023) tours the 2023 Mangrove Forest Photography winners from seven competition categories, including runners-up.

His commentary describes mangrove forests, the sponsor, the competion and sometimes includes comments about the photographs from the photographers. The photographs could stand alone but do yourself a favor and read the commentary. I was surprised to learn that mangrove forests lose their leaves in winter leaving a spider web of trees when seen from above and showing how thin their trunks and branches are.
