In the Prop Roots

In the prop roots

These “walking trees” are actually prop roots of the Red Mangrove. Prop roots make a lovely home for small fish and other young sea critters because of the protection and shade they provide.

Mangroves are home to a bounty of insects, spiders, and especially mosquitoes that make a tasty meal for some juvenile fish.
