Coconuts are dispersed by water which they float on, and further along the river/water it is washed onto a different river bank.

answer 2 Coconuts can certainly survive an ocean journey, and produce a plant at the chance ending. This accounts for the ocean-edge trees, but it almost certain that all inland trees are the result of deliberate planting by man. It is such a useful plant, that increasing the bounty would be a driver for all but the most unthinking.
