AND OUTLINE MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES WHICH COULD PROTECT AND SUSTAIN THEM. Mangroves are a type of marine ecosystem. They occur within the intertidal zone of the Minnamurra River estuary. This ecosystem is made up of a community of plants and animals interacting with each other and the abiotic environment. The vegetation of the shoreline is dominated by the Grey Mangrove and the River Mangrove. At the study site‚ both mangroves can be observed growing upon yellow sandy beaches‚ but more often within

intertidal wetland is made up of 40 ha of mangrove forest‚ 10 ha of open‚ shallow water- the waterbird refuge and 8 ha of salt marsh. The Intertidal wetlands of Homebush Bay are vulnerable to many natural stress e.g. high salinity levels and high tide and human modifications such as bund walls. The Intertidal wetlands though are resilient to this stress through adaptations and as well as induced human strain through modern knowledge and conservation programs. Mangroves normally grow in the inter-tidal areas
