An intertidal wetland is an area along a shoreline that is exposed to air at low tide and submerged at high tide. This type of wetland is defined by an intertidal zone and includes its own intertidal ecosystems .
Iva frutescens is a species of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae known by the common names Jesuit's bark, [2] bigleaf marsh-elder, [3] and high-tide bush. [4] It grows in coastal eastern North America from Nova Scotia down the eastern coast and along the Gulf Coast to Texas .

Capture (blue) and aquaculture (green) production of Indo-Pacific swamp crab (Scylla serrata) in thousand tonnes from 1950 to 2022, as reported by the FAO [1]Scylla serrata (often called mud crab or mangrove crab, although both terms are highly ambiguous, and black crab) is an ecologically important species of crab found in the estuaries and mangroves of Africa, Australia, and Asia.
Mangrove plants require a number of physiological adaptations to overcome the problems of low environmental oxygen levels, high salinity, and frequent tidal flooding.Each species has its own solutions to these problems; this may be the primary reason why, on some shorelines, mangrove tree species show distinct zonation.

As well, A. tamatum also formed a well-supported clade with its 5 strains; the Taiwanese strain was separated but basal to the Italian strains. A. andersonii and A. ostenfeldii were found to be the outgroup and formed the root of the tree. [11] The A. catenella group includes A. catenella and A. compressum. Their morphological feature is that ...
