The reclamation of mangrove swamps for human settlement is a growing concept in the Niger Delta of Nigeria because of the limited availability of land for socio-economic and infrastructural development or for strategic reasons. The geological and geotechnical characteristics of the subsoil in New Fi...
Most previous studies have focused either on the macropore function (animal burrows and decayed roots) of mangrove swamps or on the capillary attenuation of coastal aquifers. Our results indicate that we need to consider both when analyzing the tidal responses of groundwater in mangrove swamps. ...
Examples of marine ecosystems include coral reefs, estuaries, open ocean, mangrove swamps and seagrass meadows. Marine ecosystems can generally be split into two categories: coastal and open ocean habitats. While only 7% of the total area of the ocean is considered coastal habitat, the majority of...

Like mangrove swamps, coral reefs are extremely important habitats. Their diversity of coral genera is greatest in the warm waters of the Indian Ocean and the western Pacific. Indeed, they have been called the marine version of the tropical rain forest, rivaling their terrestrial counterparts in ...
