“Mangroves are magical forests where we discover nature’s secrets. They straddle the connection between land and sea and nature and humans.”
Mangroves help protect Florida’s coastline by preventing erosion and absorbing storm surge during hurricanes.
They capture carbon monoxide and greenhouse gases. They serve as a habitat and refuge for Florida wildlife.
Mangroves provide a habitat for 80 percent of finfish and shellfish sought by commercial and sports fishermen.
They improve water quality by filtering out harmful pollutants.
