What You’ll Discover
The back country is hundreds of mangrove islands separated by shallow water. The shallow water zone is, for descriptive purposes, divided into hard bottom and soft bottom biological communities. Channels, shoals, and human development further delimit the areas of plant and animal activity. Your adventure will give you a chance to view the mangrove environment up close, along with its marine life including tropical fish, crabs, sea stars, jellyfish, sea cucumbers, sponges and various aquatic birds. Every trip leads us on a different adventure.
Where we go
We typically travel about 30 mins away via boat to a mangrove habitat. Google map: Mud Keys, Jewfish Basin, Snipes Keys to get an idea of where we go.
Actual location depends on many factors primarily tides and weather.
