Mangroves are plants that adapt themselves to the saline conditions by
producing specialized structure such as stilt roots and pneumatophores
According to Lugo &Snedaker (1974), the term mangrove means either a
group of halophytes exhibiting either marked similarities in morphological
characters or ecological adaptations. The Oxford dictionary (2011) has defined
mangroves as any tropical tree or shrub of genus Rhizophora growing in
shore-mud with many tangled roots above the ground. Mangroves grow well
where the conditions favor the deposition of sediments in the convex margins
of river and the creek meanders and where there is progradation of the coasts
and the soil is built up (Vamico 1989).
