Red Mangroves are found in subtropical and tropical areas in both hemispheres, extending to approximately 28°. They thrive on coastlines in brackish water and in swampy salt marshes. Because they are well adapted to salt water, they thrive where many other plants fail and create their own ecosystems, the mangals. A mangrove can reach up to 80 feet (24 m) in height in ideal conditions, however it is commonly found at a more modest 20 feet (6.1 m). Its bark is thick and a grey-brown color.
