Rhizophora mangle, the red mangrove, is distributed in estuarine ecosystems throughout the tropics. R. mangle has invaded many coastal areas, transforming sandy habitats into heavily vegetated areas with low water velocity, high sedimentation rates and anoxic sediments (Siple and Donahue, 2013).

Extracts from R. mangle are reported to have various medicinal uses, including as a treatment for diarrhea, dysentery, fevers, eye ailments, skin disorders and a range of other diseases, though their effectiveness is not verified, but research does show that bark extracts reduce gastric ulcers, and have antimicrobial and antioxidant properties (Berenguer et al., 2006).

As propagules were found to float for 8-12 months and still remain viable, R. mangle is likely to be effective at inter-island dispersal, and should be capable of at least occasionally dispersing across the relatively short distances between most of the main Hawaiian Islands (Allen and Krauss, 2006).

It is considered that the lower effectiveness of non-indigenous predators in Hawaii may be one reason for the high rate of R. mangle establishment there (Steele et al., 1999). It is commonly known as the loop root mangrove, red mangrove and Asiatic mangrove. The environmental impacts of R. mangle and its effects on native biodiversity in Hawaii are reported by many authors (e.g., Allen, 1998; Pratt, 1998; Cox and Allen, 1999; Rauzon and Drigot, 2003; Fronda et al., 2008; Chimner et al., 2006; Demopoulos and Smith, 2010; Siple and Donahue, 2013). 37(1):101-104.

R. mangle is easily recognized from most other species by the mass of peculiar, branching, curved and arching stilt roots that enable the trees to spread in shallow salt and brackish water, forming dense, impenetrable thickets. Ecology 11:109-119. Biol. 1910. However, Farnsworth and Ellison (1996) found that R. mangle shows both light demanding and shade tolerant properties, observing changes in the mode and magnitude of its adaptability to light throughout its growth stages.

Rhizophora mangle has a wide geo- graphic distribution (light gray) covering Atlantic and Pacifi c coastal areas on either side of the Central American Isthmus. R. mangle flowers are hermaphroditic, containing both male and female sex organs, and pollen is wind dispersed (Mehlig, 2006), both of which may increase the high incidence of self-pollination, leading to inbreeding depression within populations (Proffitt et al., 2006).
