dc.description.abstract	Mangrove vegetation is essentially pantropical, although a few species still occur in the warm, temperate zones of both hemispheres. The term 'mangrove' is commonly used for trees and shrubs that grow between the high water mark of spring tides and a level close to, but above, mean sea level (Schimper, 1903, Richards, 1952 and Macnae, 1968), Mangrove vegetation is a characteristic feature of low tropical coastlines bordered by shallow waters and protected from strong wave action.	en_AU
