Interior Mudflat on Jim Foot Key, Florida
In Photo: Interior mudflat on Jim Foot Key covered with saline water, April 2019. Stumps of dead mangroves (reportedly damaged by Hurricane Donna in 1960 (Craighead, 1962)) are visible projecting from the water. Shadowed areas below the water are underwater grasses typically found in Florida Bay, now growing inside

Juvenile Mangroves on Jim Foot Key, Florida
In Photo: Juvenile mangroves on eastern berm of Jim Foot Key, April 2019. Mangroves are intermingled with saltwort, the dominant live vegetation on the damaged berms, and standing dead mangroves. Grid is 25 cm high. The question is whether these trees will mature fast enough to protect the berm from rising sea level.
