FIG. 33. Diagram to show the distribution of mangroves and the associated fauna in the Sac0 da Inhaca, a bay on Inhaca Island,
southern MoGambique. Bare areas are conspicuous and the mangrove swamp is dominated by thickets of C e r i o p tagal with
bushes averaging 1:-2 m tall. Rhizophora mucronata reaches 10 m tall and the trees are slender. Bruguiera gyrnnorhiza is
rare, occupying a narrow belt behind the rhizophora trees. The seaward zone of Awicennia marina is of a single row of old
trees around 10 m tall and sprawling. The figures indicate the salinity (in g per litre) of the soil water.
