I should also add that, in the beginning, I tried to import the "mangroves" 
map with the snap option set to 1e-8 (as elsewhere suggested by Markus Metz).   
Only after getting the "error/suggestion" message in question, I increased to 
the maximum (possible?) of 1e-14 (and, as I already wrote, actually I 
mistakenly defined 1e-15 which I guess does not hurt).
