Pichavaram (MadBoon) has a well-developed mangrove forest. Pichavaram consists of a number of islands interspersing a vast expanse of water covered with green trees. The area is about 1100 hectare and is separated from the sea by a sand bar. The Pichavaram mangrove biotope, consisting of rare species like [[Avicennia]] and [[Rhizophora]] presents a special attraction, with its peculiar topography and environmental condition. It supports the existence of many rare varieties of economically important shell and finfishes.pichavaram mangrove forest is located between two prominent estuaries, the [[Vellar River (Northern Tamil Nadu)|Vellar estuary]] in the north and [[Coleroon]] estuary in the south. The Vellar-Coleroon estuarine complex forms the [[Killai]] backwater and Pichavaram mangroves. The backwaters are interconnected by the Vellar and Coleroon river systems and offer abundant scope for water sports such as rowing, kayaking and canoeing. There are more than 400 water routes available for boating. | |||
