Abstract
IT is generally supposed that the coast-line of tropical Africa is regressing. The process of coastal regression, and its effect on the lagoon system of the immediate hinterland, have already been discussed and illustrated1. From this work it would appear that an absolute estimate of the rate of coastal regression can be obtained by dating the remains of the salt lagoon mangrove vegetation which has been overwhelmed by the coastal sandbar in its retreat, and has since, with continuing landward movement of the bar, re-emerged on the inter-tidal zone of the shore.
