Both McAllen & Taylor (2001) and Berschick et al (1987) stated that rockpools undergoes many extreme physic-chemical conditions and few organisms are able to live in rockpools.

Accordingly‚ they spread along coasts and estuaries (Chmura G. L. (N. D). Mangroves are known for their remarkable natural surroundings‚ as they live in particular conditions where no different sorts of plants can endure as they confront the power of tides alongside the elevated amounts of saltiness (Environment Agency (2014)). In addition‚ the dirt in which they develop is generally shaky and‚ being sloppy‚ the dirt does not give the plant oxygen (Environment Agency (2014)). Nonetheless‚ mangroves have
