and beautifully haunting and yet are incredibly strong and unique. They are a tree that has the ability to grow with salt water, and a tree that is found in
many places around the world. The following paper examines and discusses the species of mangroves and then examines how they contribute to the environment. Mangroves: Species There appears
to be a great amount of diversity in the species of the mangrove. For example, as one author indicates, as it relates to the black mangrove in Africa, "There are
15 genera and 120 species in the family Rhizophoraceae, of which four genera and 10 species are in southern Africa" (Glen, 2005). Each of the mangrove genera, within the family
in the southern parts of Africa, are "represented by a single widespread species" (Glen, 1005). This information suggests that truly distinct species are actually part of a greater whole and
all connected in some way. For example "The main centre of diversity of mangroves is in India, Malaysia, Indonesia and Australia, and so it is no surprise to discover that
four of the six species of Bruguiera are to be found in Australia, and four (some different) in India" (Glen, 2005). From
this information it is evident that all of these mangroves are intricately connected. And, it is also noted that they all present a very complex ecosystem that only occurs at
a particular latitude, that being "32 degrees north and 38 degrees south, along the tropical coasts of Africa, Australia, Asia, and the Americas" (Quarto, 2006). This author also notes another
truth concerning the complexity of truly categorizing various species by indicating that there many scientific classifications concerning what really even makes a mangrove (Quarto, 2006). However, according to a couple
