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