Sīrīk

Sirik lies on the Iranian shore near the entrance to the Strait of Hormuz. Along this coast the seasonal Gaz and Hara rivers meet tidal creeks and mangrove woods. Two kinds of mangrove grow here: grey mangrove, which also forms stands farther inland, and the loop-root mangrove found along the water and in mixed woodland. The creeks create a sheltered meeting place of river, sea and forest on an otherwise dry coast.
