ISSUES
Mangroves are odd coastal plant formations—rich in silt, salt, and humidity—which develop in intertidal areas (under tidal influence). The mangrove—symbolic—dominates the mangrove ecosystem. There are few other plant species in these tidal balance areas: these environments are anoxic, the ground is unstable, and the salinity variable.
Lining the coasts of a little less than a hundred countries, the largest areas are located in Indonesia (34,931 km2), followed by Brazil (10,124 km2), Nigeria (9,977 km2), Australia (9,553 km2 in 1997), India (6,700 km2), Malaysia (6,424 km2), and Bangladesh (6,225 km2).
