Propagules of the mangrove species Rhizophora mucronata (IMAGE)
Caption
Propagules of the mangrove species Rhizophora mucronata, a species which is very widespread in the Indo-West Pacific, possess near-seawater densities. Mangrove propagules are transported by riverine, tidal, coastal and open-ocean currents and their float-and-sink dynamics rely on the difference in density between that of the propagules and the surrounding waters. © Tom Van der Stocken.
