Presentation Transcript

  1. Mangrove /Mangal Values

  2. Mangal variation falls into 3 categories • Basin Mangrove • Extensive, low energy • Shallow estuary • Riverine Mangrove • Somewhat linear, subject to flooding • Highly variable salinity • Fringing Mangrove • Linear & narrow, along coastal shores • Oceanic salinity; exposed to storm surges

  3. Basin Mangrove

  4. Riverine Mangrove

  5. Fringing Mangrove

  6. Big Questions: • Do mangroves subsidize (with nutrients) adjacent ecosystems in the habitat mosaic? • Are mangroves nursery habitats for adjacent ecosystems? • Do mangroves protect coastal (human) populations?
