Discover the resilient world of halophytes, these extraordinary plants thrive in saline environments, as seen in the close-up of a Sea Kale (Crambe maritima) leaf, growing tenaciously on a shingle beach in Dorset, England, April. In June, witness their stunning flowering masses at Cogden Beach, Chesil Beach, Dorset, England. Halophytes aren't just a European phenomenon, as the young fruits of the Mangrove tree (Kandelia candel) hanging over a tidal creek in Guandu Nature Park, Taiwan, Asia, demonstrate. Halophytes adapt to various coastal habitats, from shingle banks to salt marshes, such as those at Freiston Shore, Lincolnshire, UK, where channels lead into their unique ecosystem.
