Mangrove forests are found in the southern United States, particularly along the Gulf Coast.

Mangrove forests thrive in the southern coastal regions of the United States, primarily in Florida, Louisiana, and Texas. These unique ecosystems are found in coastal areas where saltwater and freshwater mix, typically in sheltered bays and estuaries. Mangrove trees have specialized root systems that allow them to grow in salty and tidal environments. These forests provide critical habitats for a wide range of species, help protect shorelines from erosion, and support local economies by enhancing biodiversity and serving as nurseries for marine life.
