Abstract

Patches of mangroves are found in Zeylac, Berbera and Calula on the northern coastline and in Kismayo on the southern coast. Mangrove swamp communities are also situated at the tidal estuaries of the seasonal rivers towards the Indian Ocean coast and Gulf of Aden. They areas include Bushbush, Caanoole and Lag Badanaa. The mangroves, like the Golis forest, are facing increased pressure of commercial exploitation.
