    A investigation took place at a large mangrove community called the 'Badu Mangroves'. The interactions of organisms and the Badu Mangrove ecosystem were observed. While experiments were carried out to determine the abiotic ( e.g. temperature, humidity, soil pH ) and biotic ( e.g. number of seedlings distributed throughout a certain area, adaptations of animals ) features in the Badu Mangrove community.…

    Mangroves are essential to marine, freshwater and terrestrial biodiversity, because they stabilise coastlines against erosion, collect sediments and provide a nursery for coastal fish. However, mangroves are at threat; over 50% of the world’s original mangrove forests have been lost. This has been due to many factors such as, shrimp farming, climate change, over-harvesting etc. As a result, there are many players who are trying to halt the loss of mangroves to protect and restore them.…

    Intertidal Wetlands

    Mangroves are a type of marine ecosystem. They occur within the intertidal zone of the Minnamurra River estuary. This ecosystem is made up of a community of plants and animals interacting with each other and the abiotic environment. The vegetation of the shoreline is dominated by the Grey Mangrove and the River Mangrove. At the study site, both mangroves can be observed growing upon yellow sandy beaches, but more often within grey sands and fine black mud. Other initial observations reveal general patterns of distribution of the two mangroves. Firstly, grey mangrove mostly grows closer toward the low tide mark than river mangrove. Grey mangrove also appears more frequently toward the mouth of the estuary while river mangrove is more dominant further upstream. Various abiotic characteristics, such as annual rainfall, seasonal variations in rainfall, temperature extremes, wind exposure, soil type/texture, topography, pH, sunlight and availability of nutrients, to name a few, influence the diversity, distribution and populations of species within the mangrove ecosystem.…

    A mangrove ecosystem is a general word that covers trees that are able to live in the conditions of shallow water area. There are many different plat families and these plants are able to survive regular flooding as well as fresh and salt waters. The mangrove trees must withstand being submerged twice a day by saltwater tides. The soil in which these trees grow in maybe sand but it is mostly rich mud. This rich mud is high in nutrients but low in oxygen. Mangroves have these aerial and salt filtering roots and salt excreting leaves that help them occupy the fluctuating wetlands.…

    In the Philippines, our mangroves remain to be one of the less explored environments in terms of microbial biodiversity. As a unique intertidal ecosystem, mangroves can be important sources of novel microorganisms and products. The Actinomycetes on the other hand, are well known secondary metabolite producers and hence of high pharmacological and commercial interest.…

Cressa cretica (Linn) belonging to family Convolvulaceae, commonly known as Rudravanti is a erect, small, dwarf shrub, usually grows in sandy or muddy saline habitats. Though almost all of its parts are used in traditional systems of medicines, leaves and roots are the most important parts which are used medicinally. The present article gives an account of updated information on its phytochemical and pharmacological properties. The review reveals that wide numbers of phytochemical constituents have been isolated from the plant which possesses activities like antibacterial, antifungal, antitussive, testicular functions, antifertility activities and various other important medicinal properties. It is known to possess flavonoids, heavy metals, lead, copper, zinc and nickel present in Cressa cretica. It contains terpenic compounds, syringaresinol-β-ddeglucoside, triacontanoic acid, stigmasterol, ursolic acids, β-amyrin and edible fixed oil. It also contains quercetin, n-octacosanol, scopoletin and umbelliferone. Keywords: Cressa cretica, Rudanti, pharmacological properties, scopoletin…

    [The December 2004 Tsunami had established that coastal bio-shields such as mangroves and shelterbelt plantations offer best protection against natural calamities like cyclones and tsunami. Tamil Nadu reported more than 1500 deaths but surprisingly, human casualty and damage was minimal in and around Pichavaram and Muthupet mangroves. Following this, Government of India had funded massive mangrove afforestation in Tamil Nadu. Muthupet has been a major mangrove afforestation site in Tamil Nadu from 1987 onwards. FSI has now reported that mangrove cover in Muthupet has increased by 1300 ha. between 2001 and 2007, which is a 93% increase of forest cover. The article traces the rise of mangrove cover in Muthupet and its potential in offering future protection against coastal disasters.]…
