English: Ways mangrove propagules float
a) Map of the study area with the different zones (A, B, C) in which mangrove propagules were captured. (b) Relative abundance of mangrove trees in the forest and recovered propagules in the different fishing zones, for the four most abundant mangrove species considered in this study: Rhizophora mucronata, Ceriops tagal, Avicennia marina, and Sonneratia alba. (c) Propagule types of all mangrove species considered in this study, showing their position relative to the water surface while floating. Propagules are from the following mangrove species (left to right): Xylocarpus granatum (fruit), Sonneratia alba (fruit), Heritiera littoralis, A. marina, Bruguiera gymnorrhiza, C. tagal, and R. mucronata. For the latter two species, propagules can float either horizontally or vertically, with the potential to shift between these positions (double arrow).
