The estuarine area is under a macrotidal regime.
Surface samples, the uppermost 1cm, were collected, during low tide.
For mangrove ecosystems an C/N approach has been applied, but in combination with for instance stable isotope ratios etc. See:

Really thank you for the answer, I ll get a look. However I do not have isotopes.
All the best
