2 Found in tropical and subtropical regions Largest and most diverse mangrove ecosystems are found in the Indo-Pacific, where reefs are the most numerous and extensive. How do you think mangroves play in this role? Only 3 species of mangroves found in Southern Florida.

3 How can we tell them apart? To be a true mangrove, a few conditions must be met: 1. Salt filtration/excretion 2. Viviparous 3.Oxygen intake (lenticels or pneumatophores)
