Today is World Mangrove Day, a day dedicated to raising awareness about the importance of mangroves and promoting their sustainable management, conservation, and use. 

Deering Estate is home to a specialized and protected ecosystem known as Mangrove Forests. 

Three principal species of Mangrove inhabit the coastline at the Deering estate: Red, white, and black mangroves. Together they are responsible for protecting our coastlines and acting as a nursery for various imperiled species such as American Crocodiles and Diamondback Terrapins. These important species are a keystone to preserving the biodiversity of the mangroves. 
 
At the Deering Estate, it is not uncommon to see the biodiversity of the Mangroves firsthand. Reptiles and amphibians are particularly fond of the shallow areas created by mangrove roots. 

The Deering Estate is part of the Biscayne Bay IBA (Important Bird Area) and many shore birds, like Mangrove Cuckoo and White Ibis take advantage of the mangrove's branches for roosting. 
 
Visitors to the Deering Estate can observe this beautiful and protected ecosystem daily. Guests can enjoy a peaceful stroll on the Mangrove Boardwalk to observe this unique ecosystem and diverse wildlife.
