504 Figure 8. Morne Rouge in 1950, 19 years earlier than Fig. 7. Photo IGN ANTIL 50 GUA 015 Original 1:50000 reduced at about 1:66000. Different mangrove types hardl/visible. Only Pterocarpus and open swamps are discernible. Almost no changes are seen on Fig. 7- areas : Trinidad 4 000 ha (Beard 1946), Puerto Rico 6 500 ha, Jamaica 7 000 ha, Santo-Domingo 9 000 ha-, Haiti 18 000 ha ; The Atlantic coasts of Colombia 25 000 ha. The largest tracts occur in Cuba (about 400 000 ha), Venezuela (about 210 000 ha including Orinoco delta), Florida (175 000 ha), the Atlantic shores of Mexico, Honduras and Panama. Scales 1:100000 or smaller have been used to map them for logging or conservation purposes, mainly from 1:50000 photos with few exceptions. Large freswater swamp forests occur in Mexico (Tabasco and Campeche), Panama, the Gulf of Maracaibo, the Orinoco Delta with much higher floristic richness than in the Lesser Antilles and a strong tendency to gregariousness : not only Pterocarpus officinalis but other species in the genus and many legumes (Crudia, Prioria, Mora, Lonchocarpus), Bombacaceae, Myristicaceae (Virola spp., Dialyanthera), Tabebuia, Licania, Triplaris, Symphonia, Carapa and many palms (Euterpe, Mauritia, Manicaria, Bactris, Jessenia...). Large herbaceous swamps occur in Tabasco (Mexico), near Maracaibo (Venezuela) with pure Typha (the so-called "eneales"), Cyperus swamps in Trinidad. Chanteur, G. et E. Lefèvre 1980.

Imbert for cooperation in the field and Office National des Forêts (O.N.F.) in Guade loupe for financing the mangrove research in view of the establishment of a Natural Reserve. 12. CONCLUSION It is strongly advisable to use false colour 1:20000 for mangrove photo-interpretation, to investigate spot imagery and to develop more powerful devices to 'identify the most varied swamp species of the Caribbean area. Concerning mapping it is most desirable to develop soil studies in wetlands, and not separately from vegetation studies, by means of integrated field teams. 13. BIBLIOGRAPHY Beard, J.S. 1946.
