Dwarf Mangroves

Dwarf mangroves

These are dwarf Red Mangroves and are found in fresher parts of the Florida Coastal Everglades as opposed to the fringe mangroves found in areas of greater tidal range like those at the Shark River mouth.

The water in the dwarf mangrove zone is a red to brown color from the dissolved compounds that accumulate from the decomposition of mangroves leaves and roots.
