We like to also call mangroves “ocean trees,” and for good reason: their love of salty, brackish water sets them apart from their terrestrial forest counterparts, and we find them thriving on the coast, rooted in intertidal zones, and lining estuary pockets connecting land with sea. These ocean trees are located all across the world in tropical and subtropical climates, with the US being home to an estimated 2,500 square kilometers of mangrove forests — that’s an area about the size of Luxembourg! 🇱🇺
