Mangrove swamps are found in the intertidal zone in tropical environments only. Additionally mangrove swamps are only present in areas that have sandy shores.

Mangroves (generally) are trees and shrubs that grow in saline coastal habitats. The word is used in at least three senses, (1) most broadly to refer to the habitat and entire plant assemblage or mangal [1], for which the terms mangrove swamp and mangrove forest are also used, (2) to refer to all trees and large shrubs in the mangal, and (3) narrowly to refer to the mangrove family of plants, the Rhizophoraceae, or even more specifically just to mangrove trees of the genus Rhizophora. Mangal is found in depositional coastal environments where fine sediments, often with high organic content, collect in areas protected from high energy wave action.

Where the sky don't shine no more and the natives dance to the tune of kubaya before breakfast.

No really, they are usually low lying flat areas that are land locked with silt cemented with mud in humid tropical zones like the secondary Brazilian rainforest. It was all primary till they chopped off the primary part in the name of progress.

The air is usually fairly still being relatively inland but can include sea breezes and be near flowing streams and seas. Have a look below and see what you think.
