The Florida mangrove community is found as far north as Cedar Key on the Gulf Coast of Florida, and as far north as the Ponce de Leon Inlet on the Atlantic coast of Florida.
A mangrove is a shrub or small tree that grows in coastal saline or brackish water. The term is also used for tropical coastal vegetation consisting of such species. Mangroves occur worldwide in the tropics and subtropics, mainly between latitudes 25° N and 25° S.
