Mangrove trees grow in inlets and lagoons along the U.S. coastline from the Texas Gulf coast to the Florida Atlantic coast. These trees extend wide networks of roots in shallow water and play a major role in reducing damage due to storm surges. Mangroves grow in the form of large shrub-like trees, about 10 feet tall. The area inside a grove cannot be easily navigated on foot and generally smells

unpleasant due to decaying marine life and plants. ? Cutting or damaging mangrove trees is illegal in most areas without special permission, and this fact is advertised with large educational signs at key sites, including public boat ramps and nature areas.
