also found that mature forests were dominated by the mollusc
families Neritidae and Ellobiidae, whereas younger and more
degraded forests were dominated by the families Assimineidae,
and Littorinidae. The study of Irma and Sofyatuddin (2012) in
Sumatra, Indonesia supports this perspective and concluded that
gastropod abundance positively correlates with the age of rehabilitated
mangroves. Further, despite the apparent lack of a standardised
method for assessing the faunal community, sesarmid,
grapsid and ocypodid crabs also appear to be particularly useful
indicators (Macintosh et al., 2002; Ashton et al., 2003).
As noted, mudskippers may also offer an additional indicator for
mangrove status and rehabilitation performance. Although mudskippers
have not been used specifically to assess mangrove rehabilitation,
they have been suggested as potential bioindicators for
the health of mangrove ecosystems (Polgar, 2009). Wickramasinghe
et al. (2009) showed that mudskippers respond readily to changes
in environmental conditions and, thus, may represent a suitable
indicator of habitat status under different pollutant loadings.
As indicated, despite numerous attempts to assess mangrove
rehabilitation, there is still no set standardised method. In this
context, Bosire et al. (2008) suggest assessing four main indicators
to determine the success of mangrove rehabilitation: development
of the vegetation and floristic succession; faunistic recruitment;
evolution of environmental factors and processes, and the potential
for sustainable exploitation. This study investigates the first two
indicators, namely the development of the vegetation and floristic
succession and faunistic recruitment as indicator types that can
provide short-term insight into the recovery trajectory of a rehabilitated
mangrove site. While necessary for longer-term management,
the final two indicators were not included in this study due
to the short time-scale of the research
