Phytochemical analysis of the methanolic extract from the mangrove species plant species inhabited in coastal water.

The mangrove, a vital ecosystem, faces significant threats from climate change, human actions, and pollution. This study aims to evaluate the presence and distribution of trace metals (Cu, Cd, Ni, Pb, and Zn) in leaves and sediments, shedding light on antioxidant capabilities amidst metal pollution. Samples were gathered from Pichavaram coastal areas.
