List of Slides for the Florida Keys
- A thick mangrove swamp covers part of
Key Largo at John Pennekamp State Park.
- Mangrove swamps line the shoreline, where fresh water mixes with salty
ocean water. Here, a black mangrove fruit is sprouting.
- Beaches white with coral and shell fragments
stretch along the coasts of the keys, as here at Bahia Honda Key.
- Another view of the beach at Bahia Honda State Park.
- Limey mud at the top of this photo overlies
shell debris at the bottom. Mud accumulates in the lagoon and shell fragments
on the beach. These sediments are located on Bahia Honda Key.
- Coral forms most of the Key Largo Limestone,
seen here on Key Largo itself.
- A coral in growth position (Monostrea annularia)
in the Key Largo Limestone is exposed in the side of an abandoned quarry.
- At Virginia Key, you could see this remnant of a worm
reef.
