Trees in the water.
Mangroves are trees that grow at the edge of the sea and like to have their 'feet' in the water for at least some of the time. Some mangroves grow into tall trees and some stay as small shrubs. The different root systems are seen when the tide is low. This one has stilts at the base of its trunk. It will eventually grow lots taller. It's called a Red Mangrove.
