Here are a few additional facts about Mangroves:

There are more than 50 species of mangroves found throughout the world. Three species of mangroves are native to Florida: Red mangrove (Rhizophora mangle), Black mangrove (Avicennia germinans) and White mangrove (Laguncularia racemosa).

• Four major factors appear to limit the distribution of mangroves: climate, salt water, tidal fluctuation and soil type.

• Mangroves trap and cycle various organic materials, chemical elements, and important nutrients in the coastal ecosystem.

• Mangroves provide one of the basic food chain resources for marine organisms.

• Mangroves provide physical habitat and nursery grounds for a wide variety of marine organisms, many of which have important recreational or commercial value.

• Mangroves serve as roosting and nesting sites for many of our birds.

• Mangroves serve as storm buffers by reducing wind and wave action in shallow shoreline areas.

• Mangroves assist in protecting water quality and clarity by filtering runoff and trapping sediments and debris from adjacent uplands.

• Through a combination of the above functions, mangroves contribute significantly to the economy of many coastal counties of Florida and the State of Florida.
