between 1870 and 2004, the current sea level rise has been approximately 8 inches total, or 1.46 mm/yr. and studies show that mangroves in southern florida expanded their territories 3.3 km inland since the 1940s. however, this expansion inland is often at the expense of freshwater marsh/swamp habitats. as climate change continues, this could potentially negatively affect wildlife resources that depend upon freshwater habitats over mangrove habitats, such as the everglades. the figure at the right shows projections of mangrove distributions under low(15 cm), moderate(45 cm), and severe(95 cm) sea rise scenarios by the year 2100. the ipcc fifth assessment report which was finalized in 2014 is now predicting 52–98 cm sea level rise by 2100. in addition, this report has often been criticized as underestimating the severity of climate change making it even more likely for the moderate(45 cm) or severe(95 cm) sea rise scenarios to occur. despite the fact mangroves are currently keeping pace with sea level rise, at rates greater than 2.3mm/yr there is potential for mangrove ecosystem failure. a failure that is perhaps inevitable for mangroves inhabiting low-lying islands that will be inundated. sea level rise is expected to accelerate in the future and there is some indication already of this beginning to occur. however, there are examples from the past in which mangroves have both collapsed and survived at rates greater than 2.3mm/yr. mangroves that are on continental coasts instead of low-lying islands experience reduced vulnerability and have greater opportunities to occupy new habitat.

while many species make extensive use of mangroves for roosting, feeding and breeding, no bird species is totally dependent on mangroves in new zealand. the range of bird species that are found regularly in new zealand mangroves includes several native species, such as banded rail, white-faced heron, harriers, kingfishers, welcome swallow and pükeko.
