No More Mangroves

Personal memory by Renee Titone

2009St Petersburg, FL, USA

When I was young, Upham beach used to have the most beautiful mangroves. Over the past couple years, they have been cut down. Now there is only one part that has mangroves and it is a very small part that is off to the side. They got cut down because people going to the beach didn't like them. Now they are almost gone.
