Ben Tre has a mangrove forest area of 3,900 hectares, of which 1,000 hectares are natural mangrove forests and 2,900 hectares are planted forests, primarily consisting of species such as Rhizophora, nipa palm, mangrove apple, black mangrove, and casuarina. These forests are distributed across three districts: Ba Tri, Binh Dai, and Thanh Phu. Although the area is not large, the mangrove forests of Ben Tre play a very important role in environmental protection and safeguarding. Additionally, the mangrove belt of the province has effectively contributed to preventing land erosion, stabilizing soil in sedimentary areas, accelerating sedimentation, expanding agricultural land, and particularly protecting sustainable agricultural and aquaculture production in the coastal areas of the province.
