For macro invertebrateorganisms, there were variationsnoted on the number of speciesand individuals from the three mangrove zones (seaward,middleward and landward). Itwas indicated that the landwardzone has the most diverse macroinvertebrate species ascompared to the middle and sea-ward zone.

Among the eleven (11) studysites, Region 4a exhibited highsoil erosion rates within the threemangrove zone. This could beattributed to the impact oftyphoon Glenda in which sedimentation affect the intensityof the storm impact.

Region 7 was observed withhigh soil loss. This could beattributed to the soil deposition inupland areas (landward) andmovement of sediments fromoffshore areas (seaward).
