@nauticalnicole: Replying to @Captain Colleen 🌱🌱🌱 Mangroves are viviparous, meaning their seeds germinate while still attached to the parent tree. Instead of dropping dormant seeds, mangroves release fully developed propagules, essentially baby plants, that are ready to root the moment they find suitable ground. This adaptation boosts survival in tidal, saline environments where traditional seeds would quickly fail! 🌱 Mangroves manage salt using species-specific strategies. Red mangroves exclude salt at the roots before it enters the plant, black mangroves excrete excess salt through glands on their leaves, and white mangroves sequester salt in aging leaves that are later shed. These adaptations allow mangroves to thrive in saline, tidal environments that challenge most plants. #mangroves #trees #nature #environmentaleducation #wildflorida

They are removing all the mangroves in my neighborhood to help stop flooding??!! I’ve been confused how this will help! I also had no idea SW Florida had any kind of metal community!

Right! FL used to protect mangroves. Now you just pay some money and you can rip it out. Or they rip them out and deal with the consequences later. so sad.

Planted a buuuunch of mangroves in high school doing beach and waterway restorations. Never understood why the state allows some people to remove them.

Do I think mangroves are both amazing and incredibly ecologically important? Yes. Do I just love Turkey Oak trees for no real reason? Also yes, but mangroves are a close second

I too love MANGROVES! They exclude salt with their root system, black mangroves excrete salt.

I love them! I watched this happen from day 1. Rocks were set on the seawall, good folks planted the pods all along the rocks after they grew about a foot tall. Now they are 6 feet high and all the sea life is there. Turtles, fish, crustaceans. Nature works. 👌

So they will float and find a oyster bed a root but then become a new habitat for oysters
