 The eastern coast of the Cambridge Gulf is one of the richest places for mangroves in the Kimberley region in terms of species diversity, structural complexity, and area, with 14 species occurring within the site.Zonation is evident; mangrove species in the seaward zone form a woodland about 8 m high, dominated by "Sonneratia alba", "Avicennia marina" and "Aegiceras corniculatum".Behind this, in a woodland 10 m high, are "Bruguiera parviflora", "Avicennia marina" and "Aegiceras corniculatum", and then a belt of "Rhizophora stylosa" 12 15 m high.
