General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Image: Image is freely licensed, used in the article, and clear at 100px.
QPQ: None required.

Overall: Very short article barely over the minimum length about an interesting habitat of the Read Sea. Newness is ok, hook is cited and interesting. The article is well sourced, and earwig could not detect any plagiarism. Picture has a valid license and clear at 100 pixels. No QPQ required. My only remark for @Hike395: is that it would be nice to add to the article some information present in the two online source about the economic and ecological significance of the mangroves. This would make the article longer and above all more interesting. Alex2006 (talk) 05:54, 6 June 2024 (UTC)

Added material about economic benefits (e.g., ecosystem services) and more about ecological significance. — hike395 (talk) 06:14, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
