These are young mangroves, just getting started in the shallow water…

The mangroves are so interesting. They look like someone with a sense of humor just randomly placed them in the water. Great pics!

your imagination just keeps growing – lovely theme entries, especially the weird growths on Glover’s Reef atoll

I thought they were weird the first time I saw them, too. But they are not at all unusual—to anyone on the Gulf coast of Florida and in the entire Caribbean (and probably many other tropical parts of the world), this will be quite a common sight…

Very nice ….!!!!

.. let those mangroves grow and grow! Important buffer zones in protecting the shorelines…

And making new land! Kayaking in Florida, we were continually coming across entire islands that weren’t on the chart, where mangroves had established themselves since the chart had been made… :-)

It’s heartening to know that nature regenerates .. fights back, and the vital role mangroves play for both marine and land creatures.
