Three species of mangroves are present along the southern shorelines of the contiguous United States: red mangroves, black mangroves, and white mangroves. In recent years, poleward migration of black and red mangroves has been documented in Texas, Louisiana, the Mississippi barrier islands, and the Florida coastlines. The northern limit of mangroves in this region is typically limited by the frequency and intensity of freeze events that damage or kill mangroves. However, as climate change reduces the number of freeze events, mangroves are establishing in areas north of their historic range.
The Mangrove Explorer is intended to inform which ecological and human communities may be especially impacted by continued mangrove expansion and determine where conservation approaches might be necessary to ensure that mangroves persist along the future shorelines of the southeastern US. The beta version of the Mangrove Explorer depicts the most current (2021) distribution of mangroves as well as the tidal wetland complexes and wetland inland migration areas delineated for the region by TNC. Projections of the future distribution of mangroves are forthcoming and anticipated in the launch of official Mangrove Explorer in 2023. |
