Imagine you are on a field trip to a mangrove fringe in Kingston Harbour.   
And On Arrival you see fiddler crabs waving oversized claws, red mangrove seedlings growing from their roots, and herons stalking fishes.
  
And you ask yourself, Why are all these organisms here? 
And It all makes sense, because the environment provides the right blend of abiotic and biotic conditions.
