English: Three species of mangroves are found in Florida: the red mangrove, black mangrove, and white mangrove.
  • Typically:
red mangroves grow along the water's edge;
black mangroves grow on slightly higher elevations than the red mangrove; and
white mangroves grow upland from the red and black.
  • Mangroves grow in saltwater and in areas frequently flooded by saltwater.
  • Mangroves provide protected habitat, breeding grounds, and nursery areas to many land and marine animals. Mangroves also provide shoreline protection from wind, waves, and erosion.
