Description:
The 50c coin epitomizes the estimated 4000 year old coral reef habitats within the iSimangaliso M P A. Covered with hard and soft coral, they suport a great variety of marine species. The Lion Fish, (Pterois miles), is featured as it embodies the extraordinary beauty and uniqueness of South Africa's coral reefs and the marine life that inhabit them. source: S A Mint
iSimangaliso Wetland Park (iWP), South Africa, is known for rich diversity and unique habitats and is therefore a Ramsar wetland of global significance and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is located within Maputaland at a significant intersection, with the coastal lowlands bordered by the ocean to the east and an inland plateau to the west . Maputaland's position lends itself to colonization by tropical biota from the north and sub-tropical and temperate biota from both the south and high altitude west . Being a transition zone between these environments has resulted in great biodiversity . Maputaland's conservation value as a centre of endemism is internationally recognised . Today it is accepted that predominantly tropical species are found in the area, largely due to warm ocean currents flowing south from Mozambique, presenting a rich and diverse ecosystem at relatively high latitude . It is unique as it is made up of several habitat types including estuaries, coastal/marine habitats, freshwater lakes and rivers, wetlands, dune and coastal and swamp forests, and mangroves. Many of the vegetation units are vulnerable or endangered outside of the protected iWP, where agricultural practices and invasive alien plants pose the biggest threats . Africa's largest estuarine system, Lake St. Lucia, and southern Africa's largest natural freshwater lake, Lake Sibaya, are both found within iWP. source: PLOS Journals
