Abstract
Mangroves play an Important role in coral reef ecosystems. The fringe and basin type mangrove forests act as depositional areas and are effective binders of sediments. This reduces the sediment loads in coastal waters. Trapping and stabilizing sediments is important for adjacent coral reefs because it prevents abrasion and burial of reefs during stormy conditions.
