Abstract
Whilst mangrove vegetation is very extensive in certain tropical areas and in some countries is an important economic resource, the mangrove swamps in New Zealand, confined to North of Auckland and Auckland, have generally been regarded as so much wasteland. As a result considerable reclamations have taken place in the past and the swamps are still used in some localities for the dumping of town waste, e.g. Coromandel.
