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.

What is the seed dispersal mechanism for a coconut?
The coconut itself is the seed of a palm tree. Coconut dispersal is by water. It can travel for thousands of kilometer then settles on the land to germinate.
Which part of a coconut aids in its seed dispersal?
Well, if you are talking about water disperal, it's the outer shell of coir that allows it to float. Barochory, the use of gravity also helps the dispersal. The weight of the coconut means that it hits the ground with enough energy to roll a considerable distance from the tree.
What is the difference between coconut seed and tiger nail seed?
The coconut seeds have fibrous outer covering in order to help them float in water for dispersal. Whereas the tiger's nail seed has hooks/spines which help them cling to animals for dispersion. Reference: See Related Link
