Mangrove forest has a simple structure with Rhizophora, Avicennia, Bruguiera, Sonneratia and Xylocarpus spp. distributed in species-specific belts that follow soil and inundation patterns. Trees range in height from 7m to 25m. Mangroves are highly productive ecosystems and important spawning, nursery and feeding habitats for many marine fish and invertebrates. More
