Trees above the high tide line
Trees growing more than two hundred meters from the high tide line and more than 100 meters from the nearest naturally occurring tree. This shows that the mangrove fringes that are usually no more than 100 meters wide can be made much broader.

Mangrove nursery
Mangrove trees in the nursery. These trees are Rizophora mangel which could provide construction timber and firewood. 70% of the fuel requirement of Eritrea is for firewood and forests are under heavy pressure. In the year 2000, forty thousand trees were established in this nursery and planted at their final sites.
