agree  Nick Taylor: mangrove swamps yes but springs doesnt make much sense
1 hr
  -> Thanks Nick, it might be clearer with more context.
agree  Marlene Curtis
2 hrs
  -> Thanks.
disagree  airmailrpl: "mangrove" doesn't make much sense..nothing in the source text about trees or shrubs
3 hrs
  -> But swamp would make sense, would it not? Perhaps 'wetlands' is more accurate though. More context would help.
agree  Fatima Noronha: I agree with Nick...Can you check if the source text isn't referring to an estuarine or delta area instead? Those kind of wetlands are very sensitive to building pressure...
