Despite being threatened by human activity and climate change-related reasons, mangroves and coral reefs are not actually in danger.<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>On the west and south of Ulenge Island, the <a href="/wiki/Intertidal_zone" title="Intertidal zone">intertidal</a> zone is longer (up to 800 m), while it is shorter (50–350 m) on the seaward side. North of Ulenge Island, the intertidal is rock, with large algae mats in the lower intertidal zones. On the lower intertidal zone on the seaward side, algae mats were also discovered. Along the Ulenge-Kwale channel, beyond the algal mats, to the south and south-west of Ulenge (in Tanga Bay), and in the lower intertidal zones of Kwale Bay, one can see <a href="/wiki/Seagrass" title="Seagrass">seagrass</a> beds.<sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Turbidity and bottom sediment type, which are regulated by rainfall/river discharge patterns and oceanic conditions, determine the amount and distribution of seagrass.

The results of the <a href="/wiki/Towboard" title="Towboard">manta tow</a> and swimming <a href="/wiki/Benthic_zone" title="Benthic zone">benthic</a> cover surveys showed a relatively small area of patchy coral reefs that were stressed by sediments from Tanga Bay and nearby <a href="/wiki/River" title="River">rivers</a>.
