Tropical Marine Vegetation is divided into five groups:

1) Rainforests - which contain the same characteristics of equatorial ecosystems

2) Semi Evergreen Forests - which contain the same same characteristics as rain forests except they do not contain as much rainfall

3) Dry Woodlands - low-density forest forming open habitats with plenty of sunlight and limited shade. Woodlands may support an understory of shrubs and herbaceous plants including grasses. Woodland may form a transition to shrubland under drier conditions

4) Thorn Scrubs - consist of short shrubs and bush and plants that can survive for long periods of time without water. There is very little rainfall in these area and the plants have very long roots in order to seek out water

5) Mangroves - are various kinds of trees up to medium height and shrubs that grow in water and have long visible roots.
