Mangroves

A total of 174 photos of mangroves are included in this gallery. Mangroves are found in tropical and subtropical regions of the world, including Florida. There are three species of mangroves found in Florida, which are the white mangrove (Laguncularia racemosa), the red mangrove (Rhizophora mangle), and the black mangrove (Avicennia germinans). All mangroves have adapted to grow in salty, aquatic environments; some species secrete salt through glands in their leaves while others store salt in vacuoles.
