Abstract

Nipa rafts regularly form along the NW coast of Borneo, transporting live estuarine molluscs and other invertebrates. Depending on wind direction, currents and tides, they are beached, enter estuaries or float offshore. This paper discusses the potential of such rafts to transport live molluscs to other parts of the same estuary or to other estuaries, thus expanding their range. As nipa palms are known since the Late Cretaceous, transport via nipa rafts may have occurred throughout the Cenozoic.
