 Australia’s Mangroves is the authoritative guidebook to the mangrove plants found in Australian coastal waters – covering all ‘mangrove’ States and Territories.

The book is designed to be practical and easily portable with over 500 colour photographs, supplemented with clearly illustrated keys including the ‘wheel’, an innovative water-proof field key. There are also detailed botanical descriptions, distribution maps, and flowering/fruiting charts.
