BM801Ps

Due to Broome's harsh, tropical and semi-arid environmental conditions, it is a host to 11 of the 17 species of Mangroves in Australia, and of 60-70 species in the world. Mangroves are trees or bushes that usually grow between the high tides and mean sea levels. The term Mangrove refers to the individual trees and species, while the Mangrove plant community is called a Mangal.
