Mangroves

In the book

Everywhere. The hideout at Pavilion Key, the storm tie-off, the overhangs where snook wait.

Field notes

• Red mangroves' prop roots are a fish nursery — most of the fish in this book start life there.
• The Ten Thousand Islands is one of the largest mangrove forests in the world.
• 'Every mangrove key and bay looked alike' — guides navigate by chart, memory, and tide.
