Im planning to plant mangroves on the back side of the mountain. I cant wait to see how it turns out =)

It should look great. Just keep an eye on your magnesium and salinity. Also make sure get any leaves out if they fall

Yea depending on the type but most do. Mangroves have what is called a salt pump, it is a means by which they can control and/or stop the salt from SW from entering their matrix. In order to make the salt pump work they will need magnesium, so they simply suck it out of the water, thus the depletion.
