Mangrove swamps are a type of coastal wetland found in tropical and subtropical regions, including parts of the U.S.

Mangrove swamps are coastal wetlands characterized by the presence of salt-tolerant mangrove trees. They are found in warm, coastal areas, particularly in Florida and other parts of the U.S. Gulf Coast. These ecosystems play a critical role in stabilizing coastlines, reducing erosion, and providing habitat for a variety of wildlife. In contrast, fens and bogs are inland wetlands, and prairies are primarily grassland ecosystems, not wetlands.
