| | Terrestrial Ecoregions -- Amapa mangroves (NT1402) |
 | | The mangroves of the Amapa ecoregion are found in an ecotone or zone of transition between several different ecosystems that include flooded forests and grasslands, savannas and tropical rainforest. |
 | | The coast of Amapa ecoregion is north of the Mouths of the Amazon River area. |
 | | Although little information is available, because of the location of the Amapa mangroves adjacent to flooded forests, savanna and tropical rain forest ecosystems, it is likely that plant species associated with them may also be found, and that many animal species from these ecosystems may be found as visitors. |
