Mangrove Forest - Floridian Shirt

Featuring the mangrove forest ecosystem of South Florida.

Throughout the coastlines of southern Florida, mangrove forests are teeming with biodiversity, both above and below the water line. Predominantly populated with red mangroves (Rhizophora mangle), mangrove forest help stabilize the coast, prevent shoreline erosion, and reduce storm surge during large storms like hurricanes. Above the water, red mangroves provide habitat for numerous animals specieis like spoonbills, green iguanas, mangrove cuckoos, mangrove warblers, belted kingfishers, egrets, mangrove periwinkle snails, mangrove crabs, and many more. Below the water's surface, mangrove roots provide habitat for mangrove snapper, snook, needlefish, tarpon, mullet, pipefish, and much more. Their roots can also provide structure for oysters to attach to. As climate change continues, this habitat will become more valuable by protecting Florida's shoreline from stronger hurricanes. Fortunately, there has been a large movement in recent years to plant more mangroves along the coast throughout South Florida.
