The Mangrove forests of Suriname have a height of 20â25 m and are found mainly in the coastal area. There are six types of mangroves, namely two types of parwa or black mangroves, three types of red mangroves (mangro) and a small mangrove species (white mangrove, akira or tjila).
Avicennia spp., black mangrove, is ubiquitous in mangal. In the Western Hemisphere, A. germinans is codominant with red mangrove, R. mangle, and a variant of this Avicennia occurs along the coastline of West Africa. Two other species in the genus may be found in the New World.pecies that are less resistant to salt damage grow on the landward edge of mangal, where high tides reach only infrequently, or along river banks (estuarine mangrove), where freshwater mingles with sea water due to tidal influences.
