		Mangrove plants occupy shallow water and intertidal zones in tropical and subtropical coastal regions, usually where protected from direct wave action, and thus characterized by muddy or fine sediment substrata.
		Mangrove habitat is exclusively tropical and tidal, and therefore having soil or sediment that is water-logged and saline or of variable salinity.
		In Vietnam, Thailand, the Philippines, and India, mangrove plantations are grown in coastal regions for this purpose.

		These mangroves and their associated wetlands also serve as one of the most important winter habitat for birds in the Pacific, by holding 80% of the Pacific migratory shore bird populations (Seeliger 2001).
		The Marismas Nacionales/San Blas mangroves ecoregion is located in the physiographic province of the northwest mountains and plateaus of Mexico (Ferrusquía-Villafranca 1993).
		Mangroves form a natural refuge for many species of invertebrates and vertebrates; it is estimated that each hectare of mangrove removed will lead to a loss of 750 kg of commercially important species (Bojórquez 1997).

		Mangrove swamps also occur but are much less common than on the Atlantic coast, and these Pacific mangroves support less fauna than those on the Atlantic because of the greater tidal ranges which leave the roots dry for long periods of time during low tide (West 1977).
		Sediments are mainly sandy from Cape Mendocino to San Francisco Bay; in San Francisco Bay the sediments are mudsand; mud-sand and rock occurs from Monterey Bay south to Estero Bay, and sediments are sandy south to Point Conception.
		San Francisco Bay and the associated Sacramento-San Joaquin River system represent the southernmost areas of abundance for spawning Pacific herring (in the Bay) and for coho and chinook salmon (in the rivers) (NOAA 1990).
