Avicennia marina, commonly known as grey mangrove or white mangrove, is a species of mangrove tree classified in the plant family Acanthaceae (formerly in the Verbenaceae or Avicenniaceae). As with other mangroves, it occurs in the intertidal zones of estuarine areas. This species is used for food, fodder, fuelwood, construction materials and medicine in some areas within its range. This is a very common, widespread species. A species specific dieback was observed in Queensland affecting 30 km² of mangrove in five separate estuaries.Apparent causes include high concentrations of the herbicide diuron and excessive nutrients, which may have facilitated the uptake of toxic compounds (Duke et al. 2005). Between 1980 and 2000 there was a 16% loss in the region (Duke et al. 2007). Overall, there is an average of 0.8% habitat decline per year within the distribution of this species (Duke et al. 2007). Avicennia marina is a shrub to medium sized tree, 2-5 m tall (Peng and Xin-men 1983). This species is found from downstream to intermediate estuarine zones in all intertidal regions (Robertson and Alongi 1992). It is found at the mouth of rivers or in lower tidal areas (Peng and Xin-men 1983). It is shade intolerant with a maximum porewater salinity of 85 ppt. Optimal growth occurs at a salinity of 0-30 ppt (Robertson and Alongi 1992). This is a pioneer species on newly formed habitats of mud with a high proportion of sand, but does not seem to grow on pure mud.
