Three species of mangroves are found in Florida: the red mangrove, black mangrove, and white mangrove.
About
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.
