Mangroves.
‘Mangrove’ is used to refer to a particular type of habitat which is the inter-tidal region between
saltwater on the coast to fresh or brackish water up rivers and creeks.
It is also used for the 69 species of plants, in 20 families that grow in those conditions.
Queensland has around half of these species.
