Muddy Shore<br />
• Muddy shores, with their finer<br />
sediment, have smaller interstitial<br />
spaces <strong>and</strong> these trap <strong>org</strong>anic<br />
matter.<br />
• Smaller spaces means that drainage<br />
when the tide drops <strong>is</strong> less <strong>and</strong> so<br />
muddy shores hold on to their<br />
water.<br />
• Anaerobic condition in the muddy<br />
shore prevails as the exchange of<br />
interstitial water <strong>is</strong> very poor due to<br />
vey fine particle size of the s<strong>and</strong><br />
grain.<br />
• Due to the growth of bacteria,<br />
complete depletion of oxygen in the<br />
interstitial area.<br />
• Supra-littoral zone of muddy shore<br />
normally mangroves could be seen
