Shelter 6 Organisms
The last mangrove that we looked at was the white mangrove, also known as Laguncularia racemosa. They have salt glands at the base of their leaves, and unlike the other two mangroves have no aerial root system.
This next mangrove that we looked at was the black mangrove, also known as the Avicennia germinans. They usually grow at higher elevations than the red mangroves. They also bud white flowers, and they excrete salt from glands all over their leaves
The first Mangroves that we looked at were the red mangroves or also known as Rhizophora mangle. They're distinguished by their prop roots that come out from the trunk and branches. Their leaves are closest resembling to an oak tree.
We then saw a sheepshead fish, also known as a Archosargus probatocephalus
-
We also saw a mangrove crab, also known as the Cardiosoma crassum

This is both a human named Chloe Smith, also known as a homo sapien, watching in horror as the seining net comes closer and closer to her and realizing she has no idea how she is going to do this. And one of the unlucky pinfish, also known as Lagodon rhombodies, that somehow got caught in the net
This is a adolescent seagull, or Laridae probably going to steal a Khona Ice from a soon to be devastated child
